CHANGE IS SEEN NOW IN ATTITUDE TOWARDS RUSSIA

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11 - Senator Borah's action in holding his resolution providing Russian recognition on the senate table instead of burying it in committee, was interpreted here today as meaning that the administration has an open mind on the subject and is moving slowly toward Russian negotiations.

Though Russian recognition is not imminent, it is much nearer than a year ago when former Secretary of State Hughes dictated the foreign policy, according to persons close to the white house.

Secretary of the Treasury Mellon and others, including former Governor Goodrich of Indiana, who has recently returned from Moscow, are known to have told the President that it is about time to face the problem "realistically" by meeting the Russians around the conference table.
