Court rules for women in benefit case
The Supreme Court, in an 8 to 1 decision, ruled against armed forces rules that denied dependent benefits to husbands of servicewomen. Air Force Lt. Sharon Frontiero sued for equal housing and medical allowances for her husband, with the ruling noting discrimination based on sex and race in differing protections. Justice Rehnquist dissented while Justices Burger Powell Blackmun joined in part. Frontiero and her husband were at Maxwell AFB in Alabama when denial occurred. Daf in Britain: Dutch auto maker Daf sold its 15000th car in Britain in November, doubling 1971 year-to-date sales and forecasting further gains next year.
