Prohibition Lobby Eyes Home Beer and Wine Rule
Washington May 13 U P The Prohibition law may permit home production of beer and wines. F Scott McBride general superintendent of the Anti Saloon League told the senate lobby committee that Rep Fort may be right about legality but the league has taken positions and may not be sure the home loophole is open. He said the league supports some dry congressmen who drink and that most such claims exist only in headlines. The inquiry also touched on impeachments and divine right claims, with McBride resisting questions on religious authority. Caraway urged turn to page 10.
