TUESDAY, MAT 27, 1S52 (ARK.) COUNTER NEWS Social Security Asked For US. Ministers By GEORGE CORNELL NEW YORK Presbyter- Ian Church in Ihe U. S. one of the nation's big Protestant denominations, has called on Congress to extend social security benefits to ministers who want it. The action, taken yesterday by the 14th annual General Assembly of the church, came in the midst of widespread debate within many churches on the issue.

Donald. L. Hibbard ot Philadelphia, vice president of the Presbyterians' pension board, said he knew of no other mnjor denomination which had yet taken such a stand. The assembly, representing million church members, approved the move by voice vote. There was some volume of "no's." Opposing the move, Robert Gordon of Milford, said: "Anything connected with the government is political, and don't kid yourself.

I want our ministers to stand alone, with allegiance to no God." The Rev. Harold E. Nicely, Rochester, N. maintained that Uie question of social security insurance, on a voluntary basis, presented no Issue concerning compromise of religious freedom." "I am as jealous as any one else of the freedom and Ihe integrity of the church," he declared. The Presbytery of Rochester, in proposing Ihe appeal, said church pension, benefits were "sadely inadequate." It said it "rejects Hie intimation' social security coverage would "compromise the principle of separation of church and state.

The assembly also moved to re- stove a church requirement that its ministers do not remarry a divorced person until a year has elapsed from the divorce. A committee lias named to draw up a proposal for restoring the requirement, in some form, but an oflicinl pointed out any new provisions could not become churcl- law until after local presbyteries act on it in the ensuing year.
