HOME BREW TO DIE OUT,
SAYS DIRECTOR KRAMER
Volstead Act Sound and No hadi-
cal Revision Ad-
vocated.

Home brewing of intoxicating liq-
ours has been winked at by the prohi-
bition enforcement forces. They have
not made attacks on these activities
in the home because Prohibition En-
forcement Director Kramer regards
the practice as more or less of fad.
He so informed Senator Capper of
Kansas in a letter which the latter
made public last night.
Use of the prohibition forces in
ferreting out the man who tries to
make his own drinks would be more
or less of a waste of energy because.
Mr.. Kramer says. that many who
have engaged in it have already
ceased, and "it will, as I view it. die
out from it's own results" He also
told Senator Capper that he has been
uncertain" regarding the manufac-
ture of cider and fruit juices in the
home.
Mr.. Kramer said that the Volstead
law itself was sound, that he was
not advocating any radical revision
of the law by Congress, and that en-
forcement problems largely were ad-
ministrative.
Among recommendations made by
the prohibition director to tighten up
enforcement were: Removal of Wills
ky to a few large and well guarded
storehouses; increase of prohibition
agents on the Canadian and Mexican
borders, and enactment of prohibition
codes by all the states.
