BRADSHER MOScO W(AP)--High sources said Sunday the Soviet Union has no intention of giving an inch toag its bitter quarrel with They said the Kremlin is pressing ahead with plans for a world Communist congress which, Wisterners believe, they hope will isolate the Chinese. Soviet leaders have been greatly angered by Chinese at- tacks on their internal policies, and these attacks have lessened the possibility of any more di- rect talks between the, Chinese and Russians. The sources said the world conference will' be held in an attempt to bring unity to com- munism, but added firmly that the Soviet Union is not going to These range from abstruse ideological interpretations of Marx to old-fashioned border disputes between the Soviet Un- jon and China.

Two extremist Hindu. organ- izations, the Jan Sangh and the Hindu Mahasabha, had planned to demonstrate against the Pon- tiff when he arrives Wednesday for a three-day visit. The Jan Sangh, a national political party, made a deal with the government to aban- don its plans. A government source said the Government Heads Off Hindu Demonstrations group considered dangerous; had made the same decision, but this could not be immedi- ately confirmed. The Hindus contend that the congress, a major spiritual gathering held every four years, and the Pope's visit rep- resent the start of a campaign to gain Roman Catholic con- verts in non-Christian India. The congress began Saturday. GIVES WARNING The Indian government warned it would not tolerate in- cidents during the Pope's visit.

The contracts of the unions in- volved--Local 1 of the Printing Pr 's and Assistants Un- ion (CLC), Local 21 of the Ster- eotypers and Electrotypers Un- jon (CLC) and the Toronto Mailers Union No. 5 (CLC)-- are due to expire Dec. 31.

The Globe and Mail says the proposal was to have been made Tuesday at a joint bar- gaining session requested by the Grits Won't Call Election: Starr LONDON, Ont.

The mailers have not worked for the three dailies since the start of the strike, when they evoked a contract clause that permits them to respect legal picket lines set up by the ITU, with which they are affiliated. The newspaper says that while it has been the practice in past years for the four craft unions, including the ITU, to bargain jointly with the three papers, the publishers have taken the position that the un- usual circumstances have cre- ated special problems this year. However, the newspaper says, both parties consider the sub- ject still under discussion and the door has not been closed to a meeting of the papers and the three craft unions. restrictions on the organiza- tion's leaders who were placed under house arrest when the group began denouncing the papal visit. One Hindu leader said the Jan Sangh's leaders also had second thoughts after talk of demonstrations against the Pope aroused a national wave of revulsion. Police squads rounded up 211 so-called "bad characters" dur- ing weekend raids in Bombay. At least 16 Hindu leaders also were jailed and scores are re- stricted to their hemes while the congress is in session. The Vatican announced that the Pope, on his flight to India Wednesday, would make a hailf- hour stop in Lebanon at Bei- rut's international airport five miles outside the Lebanese cap- ital. The announcement said the stop was being made "for tech- nical reasons"--presumably for refuelling--and the Pope would not enter Beirut.
