Camden Woman Wants Protection For Women PHILADELPHIA (UPI) A half-century law was tossed out yesterday by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court which said it discriminated against women because it allowed them to serve longer prison sentences for the same crime committed by a man.

The court said indefinite terms for women in state prisons was unconstitutional because it de nied them equal protection under the law and is contrary to the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The ruling upheld an appeal by two Philadelphia women sen tenced to the Muncy State Cor-rectional Institution for indefi nite terms on robbery charges. The unanimous decision writ ten by Chief Justice John C. Bell Jr.

said There is no doubt that the Muncy Act gives rise to discrimination in the sentencing of women when compared to the sentences given to men convicted of the same crime." Under the 55-year-old Muncy Act, women may be confined at the discretion of prison officials for an indefinite period up to the maximum sentence for the crime which they committed. The ruling said that a man convicted for a similar crime could be sentenced to a mini mum term but a woman could not.

We're now eighth among the states in our contributions and almost last in benefits received."
