A i $12,000 settlement of a discrimi- nation claim by the town's first fe- male police officer was a cost-saving measure and not an admission of wrongdoing, according to town officials. As part of the settlement, Diane Arzoomanian will return to the force with seniority.

Arzoomanian went on maternity leave in December 1989, then took 16 weeks unpaid leave starting in March 1990. She returned to work briefly in July 1990, but resigned from the force two months later, citing conflicts between work and family. She applied to the force repeatedly between 1991 and 1995 but was not rehired.

(AP) Stunned trio allegedly tried to rob detective Three surprised juveniles were arrested in Cambridge last night when the man they attempted to rob turned out to be a plainclothes detective, police said.

Detective David Diamond was part of a stepped-up patrol of an area of North Cambridge where about 35 armed robberies have occurred in the last three months, said Frank Pasquarello, a police spokesman. At about 7:15 p.m. the three youths approached Diamond, pointed a small black firearm at him and ordered the detective to give up his cash. Instead, Diamond drew his own firearm and ordered the three suspects to stop, Pasquarello said. After a brief foot chase and a building search, three suspects were captured and placed under arrest.

Police are investigating the possibility that the attempted holdup was related to similar robberies in the area, Pasquarello said. SUSAN E.

Throughout her political career, she was always "guided by the Quaker principles which are so much a part of her family background: principles that emphasize education, hu-manitarianism, racial equality, prison reform, concern for the mentally ill, and an active opposition to war," according to a biography published last year, when she received the J.

why did she do that?" she said in 1994. In 1970, when she ran unsuccessfully for secretary of state, Globe political reporter Carol Surkin described her as "a quick-witted, hardworking legislator who possesses a pleasing combination of intelligence and charm. While holding a record as a constructive and enterprising legislator, she also retains her lively wit." She wTas the only woman in Sargent's Cabinet and became a leader in the early stages of the women's liberation movement. In a 1972 Globe interview, she encouraged women to "shed their aprons" and enter government, "one area in which too few women are employed." She was an executive member of the Massachusetts Taxpayers Association and became a visiting professor at the University of Massachusetts in Boston in 1975. She took a leave of absence for a year to take the regional director's post under President Ford, and returned to UMass, where she lectured until recently.
