WASHINGTON INVOLVED? NEW YOEK, 27th January. The belief that the United State* Government would become involved in. the controversy over the purchase of Eussian oil products by the ,-ltandard Oil Company was expressed in financial and oil circles in New York when it became known that the United States Shipping Board had ordered 2400 tons of Eussian oil from that company to be delivered at Near East ports. This is interpreted to mean that the United States Government is giving tacit approval to the Standard Company's trade relations with the Soviet. Official circles in Washington explain that it is only a routine matter, and that th« Shipping Board did not specify oil from any particular source.
