WASHINGTON — The Supreme
wrt ruled Tuesday that employers
not take away women’s job
niority while they are absent for
ildbirth, but that denial of sick
iy during that period is not neces-
ily illegal.
The opinion by Justice William
ihnquist came in a case filed by
jra Satty against the Nashvill
enn.) Gas Co., which placed her
maternity leave in 1972 without
dtpay.
When she returned she was at the
ittom of the seniority list.
Another case involving the
jehmond, Calif., school district
returned to the Ninth U.S. Cir-
it Court of Appeals for further
oceedings.
Under Nashville Gas policy, an
nployee with a different type of
in-occupational sickness or injury
juld have been allowed leave with
iy and would have retained job-
dding seniority, which affects an
nployee’s entire future.
Rehnquist said the situation is dif-
rent from the 1976 General Elec-
iccase, where the court held that
iegnancy may be excluded from a
ivate employer’s disability insur-
ice program.
The opinion Tuesday said there
as no showing in that case that GE
forded men more benefits than
omen.
"Here, by comparison,” Reh-
juist said, the company “has not
erely refused to extend to women
benefit that men cannot and do not
tceive but has imposed on women
isubstantial burden that men need
it suffer.”
Rehnquist said the 1964 Civil
ights Act, .which forbids job dis-
imination on the basis of sex, does
)t “permit an employer to burden
male employees in such a way as
(deprive them of employment op-
irtunities because of their differ-
it role. ”
But he said businesses may find it
ecessary to adopt sick leave
olicies applying to all employees in
particular group, including denial
pregnancy leave, and this does
)t violate the law even though
omen employees may suffer from
As for sick leave pay, Rehnquist
id the general situation cannot be
stinguished from that in the GE
se.
But he noted Satty’s contention
(at even in the GE case, the court
eld that distinctions involving
regnancy cannot be mere pretexts
esigned to produce an invidious
iscrimination against members of
ae sex or the other.
Rehnquist said the trial court

^ocal magazine
procures grant
Quartet literary magazine, edited
nd printed at Texas A&M Univer
ity, has received a $930 matching
[rant from the Coordinating Coun-
il of Literary Magazines.
English professor and editor-
'ublisher Dr. Richard Costa said
be award is as large as any given
bis year but is nearly $500 less than
year ago.
Funds will go toward the next
ssue of Quartet, a 1977 summer-fall
louble issue that will be out in late
anuary.
never made such a finding in Satty’s
case and it is up to lower courts to
say whether she is in a legal position
to pursue this argument further.
The court was unanimous on the
seniority issue. On sick pay, Justices
Lewis Powell, William Brennan and
Thurgodd Marshall said Satty
should be given a chance to show
that the combined policy yielded
less net compensation for female
employees, as a class, than for
males.
Speeding car kills one, injures twelve
United Press International
NEW YORK — One pedes
trian was killed and a dozen
others were injured by a speed
ing car driven down a sidewalk in
Times Square Monday night,
police reported. The driver, 19-
year-old Harvey Collins of Man
hattan, stole the car from a hon
eymooning Vermont couple.
Witnesses said the auto
reached speeds of 60 miles per
hour as it meandered down West
42nd Street from Eighth to
Seventh Avenues, along the
south sidewalk — past a row of
X-rated movie theaters and mas
sage parlors — striking unsus
pecting pedestrians in its path.
Police arrested Collins as he
tried to escape from a vengeful
crowd of 100 persons who
gathered around the car once it
came to rest against a fire hy
drant.
Officials said he would be
charged with grand larceny and
vehicular homicide.
The dead man was identified
as R.A. Whitmore, 70. Six men
and six women were injured.
Among the injured taken to St.
Clare’s Hospital were four teen
age girls from Lodi, N.J., who
had come into Manhattan to see
the Rockefeller Center Christ
mas tree lighting.
Police identified the Vermont
couple as 26-year-old Jerry Jen
kins and his bride of about 12
hours, Marlene, 21, of Bur
lington.
The couple had come to Man
hattan after their wedding at 8
a.m. in Vermont, and Jenkins
left his wife in the car while he
went to see if they could get a
room for the night at the New
York Sheraton Hotel.
Collins walked up to the car, a
1970 green-blue Buick, drew a
gun, and told the woman to get
out, police said.
She did as she was told, and
Collins drove off, authorities
said.
The car jumped the sidewalk
at 42nd Street near Eighth Av
enue, and began hitting pedes-
trains, police said.
St. Clare’s Hospital said seven
persons were taken there while
Roosevelt Hospital had three
victims and Bellevue Hospital
two others. Whitmore’s body
was taken to Bellevue.
One pedestrian in the busy
street, Stephen Brown of Brook
lyn said, “This guy takes off up
the street. He goes up on the
sidewalk doing 60, maybe 70
miles an hour. He hit people at
one end and when he gets near
Seventh Avenue, he hit a lady
who flew up in the air and he hit
her again when she came down. ”
Sandor Maraczi, who was
working at a newsstand at the
corner of 42nd and Seventh said,
“I heard screaming and I heard
the car hit the hydrant. If it
hadn’t hit the hydrant it would
have run right into our news
stand.”
