HOME PROTECTED
AGAINST SEARCH
Unless Sale of Liquors Is Sus-
pected and Solons Say "Home
Brewers" Are Safe

Washington, Aug. IL Any
householder can have his home
brew, under interpretations plac-
ed upon an amendment to the
Willis-Campbell beer bill approv-
ed Tuesday, by the House.
The amendment. adopted as a
substitute Ior a Senate provision
would require federal agents tc
have warrants before entering
homes in search OF home "un-
less there IS reason 10 believe
such dwelling is used as place
IN which liquor is manufactured
Tor sale, or sold"
Representative VIM. 7. Fields,
democrat, of Kentucky, declaring
the House amendment would vir-
tually sanction home brew" pro-
vlded it was not made to be sold,
attempted to have the words for
sale stricken OH, but his motion
was rejected, 90 to 54.
Representative Andrew Vol
stead, republican, of Minnesota,
autnor of the original prohibition
act, favored the House substitute
as adopted. He declared later it
would not change his policy of
the prohibition enforcement bu-
reau in reference to home brew
ing. No attempt of late has been
made on orders from Washington
he said, to prohibit the home
manufacturer of patent bever-
ages for personal use.
The section we put in the bill
provides that the law is to be en-
forced as we intended when we
passed the prohibition act" said
Mr.. Nolstead. "While it ex-
pressly stipulates that no homes
arc to be searched without war
rant, and then only of the liquor
made is being sold, federal Off
GERS can get evidence in other
ways as to whether the law is be-
ing violated.
The section Of the original act
prohibiting the manufacture of
liquor with alcoholic content Of
more than one-half of one per
cent is still in force"
Search of homes without war
rants, Mr.. Volstead said, usually
has been conducted under the
revenue act which authorized
such action under some circum-
stances.
Pleading Tor a tight ban on
home brew, Mr.. Fields declared
that IF you say a man can rig up
distillery in his home, you kill
