HOME WINE IS, LEGAL SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 23 (AV-Soj long as wine Is served only to mem-j bcrs of the family "and bona fide guests. United States District AttQr? ney George Hatfield said today, any? one may legally make and keep wine in his home, regardless of tho alco holic content. Unless a salo can be provon, the government is barred from seizing liquor in tho home by section 33 of tho Volstead ct, tho attorney said. Tho section, he said, permits pos session of liquor In tho home bo long as It s for consumption of the possessor, his family or bona fide guests. It places the burden of proof cn tho possessor, but inasmuch as an affidavit of salo Is necessary be fore a search warrant can issue, Hat field said, a government agent can not enter the home to mako a search. His opinion was expressed In com menting upon the recent ruling of Guard C. Darrah, Sun Joequin county district attorney, that possession of homo wine with an alcoholic content of less thnn (3.13 per cent was legal. "But, whether it is Illegal or legal according to the federal law, Oregon has a state enforcing act making it Illegal to have possession of liquor in the home. I would hate to have citizens here get the wrong impres sion of this matter, though I do not claim to be an advisor . under tho state law."
