Is malicious mischief a crime of moral turpitude?

5 We recognize that in Morasch v. INS, 363 F.2d 30, 31 (9th Cir.1966) we held that petty larceny under Oregon law in 1932 is a crime of moral turpitude. In our view, both petty larceny and Washington's malicious mischief are close cases that border the line of crimes that necessarily involve base acts contrary to accepted moral standards. In our judgment, though, malicious mischief is not necessarily base and thus does not cross that line.
