The Miriella, chartered by an Italian company, is nosing her way out of the Persian Gulf with 5,000 tons of oil claimed by both Iran and the British-controlled Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, '

Italy responded to the Ameri- can warning by saying that she would do what she could to keep Miriella from selling of behind the fron curtain, it was understood.

Reports had circulated in ome that a sale to Poland was contemplated.

The informants said officials of the American mission in Itome pointed out to the. Italian government within. the past week that the provisions of the Battle Act could be invoked if the all is carried by the Miriello behind the iron curtain.

The Battle Act lays down that foreign nations getting American ald can lose it if they sell strale gie materials to the Communists.
