German Women Rap
 Paper Equality"

BERLIN, July 11.-German wo- men are protesting against the paper equality granted them by the republican constitution.
 Their spokesman in the Reichs- tag, Dr. Elsbeth Lueders, recently demanded that no preference be given men in civil service appoint ments and that women already in such positions should not be dis missed and replaced by men as now frequently happens.
 Girls are being hired as stenog- raphers in various ministries and declared ineligible for civil ser vice appointments on the grounds that their work is merely techni- cal, Dr. Lueders declared, whereas messenger boys carrying the type scripts from one room to another are considered worthy of advance ment because of their contact with confidential correspondence
 Despite the payment of pre- miums as high as those paid by their men associates, women em- ploye5 receive lower state insur- ance benefits, Dr. Lueders protest ed. She further demanded that the bill allowing German women who marry foreigners to retain their citizenship, also be made re- troactive.
