WASHINGTON, P)-American policy toward Russia has swung or been pushed by the Soviets-to almost the opposite pole since President Truman met Premier Stalin at Potsdam two and a half year ago.
 The chief executive came home from that historic British-Soviet- American meeting saying: The three powers "are now more close ly than ever bound together in de- termination to achieve a just and lasting peace"
 Today the President admits that his faith in eventual world peace is somewhat shaken although he still believes. peace is attainable. He has committed the United States to oppose the spread of Communism anywhere.
 To that end the state depart ment is said to be studying ways to back up American economic aid to Western Europe with strong po- litical action and possibly military support.
