ASK RECONSIDERATION
OF HARD CIDER ruling

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2O.-(A. P.)-
The Anti-Saioon league will ask Attor-
Rye General Palmer. to reconsider his
ruling that the use of cider in the
home by its manufacturers, even after
1t has become intoxicating by fermen.
tation, is lawful, Wayne B. Wheeler,
general counsel for the league has an
nounced. Neither the letter nor the
implied purpose of the prohibition act
justified such ruling, Mr.. Wheeler
asserted.
Declaring the 18th amendment pro-
hibits the manufacture of Intoxicating
liquors for beverage purposes in the
home or elsewhere, Mr.. Wheeler said
congress in permitting the manufac-
ture Of cider and fruit juices for home
use fixed the alcoholic standard at
one-half on one per cent.
THE ruling made encourages and
increases the use of Intoxicating
cider" Mr. Wheeler asserted.
