Washington, Dec. 19-Ths Anti
Saloon league will ask Attorney General
Palmer to reconsider his ruling that the
use of cider in the home by its manu-
facturer, even after it has become in
to1icating by fermentation is lawful.
Wayne b. Wheeler, general counsel Of
the league, announced Sunday. Neither
the letter nor the implied purpose of
the prohibition act justified such rul
ing, Mr.. Wheeler asserted.
Declaring the eighteenth amendment
prohibits the manufacture of intoxicat
ing liquors for beverage purposes in the
home or elsewhere, Mr.. Wheeler said
congress in permitting the manufacture
of cider and frnit juices for home use
fixed the alcoholic standard at one half
of one per cent The ruling, he added,
should be recensidered. because also con-
gress placed its own rule of construction
on the law by saying the act should be
construed to prevent the "use Of intoxi-
eating liquors for beverage purposes"
