ATLANTA (UPI)-Gov. Jim

favored without the knowledge
of chamber leaders and mem

the organization's board of di

opposition to the measures so
the action of their staff workers
was proper.

to get her money
By United Press International
HARRISBURG, Pa. (UPI) -
Pennsylvania’s Commonwealth
h Court has awarded 18 years’
retroactive workman’s compen
sation benefits to a Phila
delphia policewoman who was
fired after she helped shatter a
mammoth narcotics operation.
But Miss Ruby L. Mapp, now
43, will receive only between
$7,000 to SIO,OOO because she
has worked for the past 11
years as a clerk in Philadel
phia’s main post office. She
said she would use the money
to support her elderly parents.
Miss Mapp, the first woman
ever used as an undercover
agent by Philadelphia police,
posed as a prostitute and drug
addict in 1955 to shatter a
narcotics ring involving 200
suspects.
Ten days after the arrests,
she collapsed during an awards
ceremony in the mayor’s office.
In 1958, she was fired by the
city for “emotional instability.”

The department said Weiss will
