atIOn.
 Washington, Nov. 13 (UP)-At- torney General Mitchell said today that the attitude of the federal gov ernment toward the home wine 1 maker will continue 10 be one of non- interference.
 He cited as representing the de-

 sued in 1928 in which it was said that the government would not pros ocute a person who has made wine
 from fruit juices for exclusive use
 in the home.
 Fruit Juices on Sale Recent developments in the sale
 of grape products, which include a
 wide advertising campaign instruct f ing the householder how to make
 wine, are being studied by the de- partment, Mitchell said. He indicat- ed a statement of the departments
 precise position might be issued | later.
 "Our attitude on this matter of
 wine in the home remains precise : ly what it was in 1926 when we
 said that we would not appeal from
 decision in the fourth circuit court" he added.
 In that decision the federal court ruled that a West Virginia farmer
 was not liable 10 prosecution for possession of intoxicating liquor
 notwithstanding the fact that the
 fruit juices had fermented to con- tain more than one-half of one per
 cent alcohol.
 | The departments statement al
 that time said there would be nc 1 prosecution so long as the wine die tnot become intoxicating in fact No absolute test of what is intoXi-
