EPISCOPAL CHURCH
 LEADERS, OPINIONS
Three to One for Change in
 Prohibition Law

New York. May o4 (UP)- Through questionnaire being cir culated among 1000 Episcopal bishops and clergymen in the United States. the Church Temperance so- ciety was on record today as being for voluntary temperance and not for prohibition.
 Operating as an agency of the Protestant Episcopal church. the society's board of directors has been endorsed in the popula- ''referen- dum" it's known stand against the prohibition law. |.
 A letter sent to Episcopal church executives over the signature of the Rev. w. W. Bellinger. vicar Of St. Agnes chapel. Trinity parish, Man. hattan embodied similar sentiments of the evolution of the church's ma icrity thought on prohibition as was voiced last week by Nicholas Mur- ray Butler, president of Columbus university.
 The letter follows:
 April 8. 1927. Rev. and Dear Sir:
 The Church Temperal Ice society. under its charter. stands for volun- tary temperance and not for prohi- bition.
 During the war majority of the directors were for prohibition and alienated a number of the older members. Now. seeing the evils of prohibition that does not prohibit, the directors have returned to the original policy of the society. In this the society thinks it represents the majority of the clergy and lalty, and it is sending you the enclosed auestionnaire to the end that the opinion of churchmen may be known.
 Yours truly.
 "W. w. BELLINGER, President"
 The questionnaire follows:
 l. Is prohibition a success in your locality?
 2. Have we had the law long enough for a fair trial?
 3. Regardless of ones attitude to- ward the use of liquor. do you be- lieve a prohibition law offers the best solution for the problem of in- temperance?
 4. Should the Volstead law be modified?
 5. Should the eighteenth amend ment be repealed?
 6. Are you willing to cooperate with the Church Temperance society in a campaign for more practlca pie legislation in the interest Of tem- perance and morality?
 The average ratio of the replies that have already been received was said by a prominent Episcopal clergyman to be to in favor Of change in existing prohibition laws.

He hastily made a speech, however, in which he said he appreciated the honor. but as he had been president of the club before and as he is identified in an official capacity with other organizations. he could not consider the presidency.
 Mir. Fleitzer. who had one less vote than Mir Hart. was accordingly chosen president. He accepted with a speech in which he promised to do his hest on behalf of the club.
 Two vice presidents, instead of one. were elected for the first time in the history of the club. this 10 provide for any contingencies.
