With RUSS ENVOY
HELDBY ROOSEVELT
Indications Are Soviet Has
Agreed to Discuss Details
Before Recognition

Washington, Nov. 15.-tR)-Two
more conferences between President
Roosevelt and Maxim Litvinotf gave
rise to impressions Wednesday that
Soviet Russia has agreed to discuss
problems having a bearing OH rela-
tions with this country. without MAX
ing outright recognition an indispcns-
able prelude to understandings on
such problems.
In early morning and again in early
afternoon the Soviet commissar joined
Roosevelt for q rcview of the latest
situations that have arisen. The pres
ident reported distinct progress to
newsmerl. $40.
The White House word that nego-
tiations would proceed normally but
might extend over the weekend sup
ported authoritative views that such
problems as debts, claims. propaganda
and the treatment OF Soviet and Unit
cd States citizens were receiving
thorough consideration.
Despite the established Soviet atti-
tude. 1t was known that President
Roosevelt sought an understanding on
religious freedom for American ma
tionalS in Russia.
Linked with liberty Of worship were
other subjects involving the rights Of
citizens OF the respective nations
while In the other.
Informed Russian sources said We'd
nesday that citizens Of other coun-
tries enjoy full freedom Of religious
worship in Russia.
But whether the Soviet government
would enter understandings ahead OF
diplomatic recognition was considered
questionable by skilled observers.
