ORATORS COMPETE ON FRENCH RULING Commerce and Agriculture Departments Disagree on Fruit Requirement. The Commerce~and Agriculture De- partments were at odds today over the stringency of France's regulations gov- erning importation of fruit An’ Agriculture Department official’'s statement that the regulations amounted “virtually to an embargo” was countered at the Commerce Depertment with the prediction a_satisfactory arrangemeat Rould be worked out between this coun- try and Prance for importation of American fruit. Require Certificate. In regulations governing fruit im- ports, the French ministry of agricul- ture night before last required “a cer- tificate of inspection delivered by com- petent authorities cf the country of origin guaranteeing absolutely that the fruit does not carry San Jose scale.” Apples, exported to France in quan- tities worth millions of dollars, are one of the principal commodities affected. E. R. Sasscer, foreign quarantines di- visicn chief at the Agriculture Depart- ment, said it would be “practically im- possible to guarantee” freedom of the shipments from the scale and that such a requirement amounted “virtually to an embargo.” He said his view was personal rather than official, “but it is obvious we could not inspect every ap- ple and that would be necessary for us to issue a guarantee.” Minimize Regulation. The Commerce Department was in- clined to minimize the stringency of the regulation. Henry Chalmers, foreign tariffs chief, said he did not believe it would be an “insuperable barrier” and predicted a satisfactory arrangement would be worked out by the Washington and Parls Agriculture Departments. At the Agriculture Department it was said a meeting of several bureau chiefs which Secretary Hyde might attend would probably be necessary before an official anncuncement could be made regarding the department’s part in car- rying out the French requirements.

By the Associated Press | NEW YORK, March 17.—The bodies of two men, who had been strangled with a sash cord, were found yesterday on the roof of a six-story tenement in Thompson street The men were identified by means of fingerprints as Gerald Vernotico of | Prince street and Antonio Lonzo, both of whom had been arrested on grand larceny charges. The charge against Lonzo was subsequently dismissed, but no disposition had been made of Ver- notico's case. Residents in the building told police they heard a brief scuffie on the roof. ‘The janitor found the bodies 12 hours later. The police theorized that the actual killings occurred in an apartment on nearby Spring street and the bodies were dragged to where they were found along the roofs of other buildings.
