HI OF
FRUIT IMPEDED
Secretary of Agriculture's
Ruling Final, Attorney
General Holds
The state of Oregon would hare
oo authority to impose a quaran
tine preventing the importation ot
fruits and vegetables from Flori
da, in case the quarantine now
existing is lifted by the secretary
of agriculture, according to le
gal opinio handed down by the
attorney general here Thursday.
The opinion was requested by
the Oregon State Board of Horti
culture which. In a letter to the
attorney general, said that the
federal plant quarantine and con
trol administration, contemplated
amending its present quarantine
order so as to permit the shipment
cf treated fruit from Florida into
Oregon. The board sought - an
opinion as to whether the Oregon
law was broad enough to make it
possible to prohibit the entrance
,of such fruit into Oregon.
"In the absence of an act of
congress giving the states power
to continue a quarantine after it
has been lifted by the secretary of
agriculture," read the attorney
general's opinion, "I am of the
opinion that under the rule estab
lished in Oregon Railroad and
Navigation company against Wash
ington, the right of the state to
establish a quarantine against
fruits, plants and vegetables, en
tering from other states, has been
-superceded by an act of congress
vesting the right in the secretary
of agriculture to establish such a
quarantine, except as this right
has been re-established in. the
states by virtue of a fedecal
amendment, which Is not broad
enough to continue the quarantine
against fruits and vegetables from
Florida after the quarantine has
been lifted by the secretary of agriculture."

Opinion Handed
Down Regarding
Dental Insurance
There is no legal objection to
an insurance company writing a
policy, covering members of the
Oregon state dental society, under
an agreement that in case one of
the Insured is sued for malprac
tice the dental society wilL with
out expense to the insurance com
pany, furnish expert witnesses in
defense of the action.
This was the substance of a le
gal opinion handed down by the
titorney general here Thursday.
The attorney general held that
there is nothing in such an ar
rangement that would require any
one to give false testimony.
The opinion was requested by
Clare A. Lee, state insurance commissioner.
Have you noticed the number of
new names which are appearing
among the leads in moving pic
tures? It is interesting to note
the way in which all the big pic
ture concerns are watching with
eagle eye the stage fields of
Broadway for good voices, good
dancers, and good actors. The
day for posing is past in the mov
ing picture world. There are still
a few of the "pretty but dumb"
variety on the screen, but the pos-
; slbilitles are getting so much
greater that it is requiring ability
to "feel" and speak as well as
'"look," and the result is a fast
changing type of leading men and
women and increased emphasis on
the supporting cast as well.
A few of the names which will
not be recognised at once are
Charles Bickford, Kay Johnson,
Karl Dane, Elliott Nugent, Ro
bert Montgomery, Phyllis Crane,
Sally-Starr. Fay Templeton, .De
Wolfe Hopper, (the latter two are
well known on the stage but new
to pictures), all these and many
more there are which you will
hear of and see and of which you
will find mention in The Call
Board from time to time.
Just because you do not know
the lead don't let that discourage
you or make you feel that a show
might not be so good. Some of
the best are still to come and to
discover them will be more fun
than to see old favorites.

Cuban and South American
Attacks Upon Tariff Aired
WASHINGTON, Dee. II (AP)
-A proposal by H. C. Lakia. pre
sident of the Cuba company, look-
ins toward having- Latin Ameri
can countries bring pressure to
hear against a sugar tariff In
crease by the United States was
discovered today by the senate
lebby committee.
Sharply Questioned la regard
te the attempt, Lakin whose
company has large sugar holdings
in Cuba and who has been active
la behalf of a low sugar duty
informed the committee he was
"very much ashamed" of his ac
tion and added he had been ''re
buked" by Rafael Sanehes Aballt.
Cuban secretary of communica
tions, to whom the proposal was
made.
The information was contained
in ft letter from Lakia to Aballi
last March. It was obtained from
Lakin'a files by ft lobby commit
tee investigator and read into the
record today by Chairman Cara
way of the committee. The letter
said:
"There is ft matter In which I
believe you could be of the great
est benefit In connection with the
sugar tariff. According to my
views, one of our most important
arguments Is that other Latin
American countries will claim
that if Cuba's close relations with
the United States result la dam
age to Cuba they had better fight
shy of having a similar thing hap
pen to them.
"Therefore It seems to me that
it would be a good thing to call
the situation to the attention of
the appropriate persons in other
Latin American countries. Of
course, that could not be done of
ficially by the Cuban government
but I do not at the moment see
