30 WOMEN CTIVE IN REICHSTAG Feminine Politicians Doing Their Share in Shaping Germany’s Destinies BY MILTON BRONNER BERLIN, June 23.—The stranger visiting the vast marble-pillared, Ted-carpeted waiting room of the German reichstag sees the newest thing in Germany, the poiitical ‘woman. Wilhelm Hohenzoltern, now resid- img in privacy and texury in Hol land, in the days wnen he was an imperial highness, used to say that women should be concerned only with the three K's, which trans- Inted into English, became the three C's—chikiren, cooking and church But since Hohenzollern’s job has - Been declared vacant, German Women have had another sphere added unto them—politics. ‘The result is they have a fran- hise as wide as our own and had H before our women, rot it. Over 11 million women voted in the last elections for the reichstag. ‘Thirty women were elected as members—13 as majority social \ democrats, four from other socialist ‘parties, two as communists, four ‘as representatives of the centre party, two as democrats, three the German volkspartet and two as democratic nationalists. ‘The te was given the women ever the dead bodies, as It were, of the leaders of the old conservative ‘parties.

But I asked Frau Margarete Behm, elected as a representative of the German National Volkspartei, a dignified, motherty-looking, sweet- woman with silvery gray . __ Bhe used to be a school teacher. Now she is president of the Gewerk- Werein der Heimarteiterinnen ‘Deutschiands. This ts a union labor organization of women. “It is a mistake,” aid Frau Behm, assert that women are naturally ‘onservatives in politics. The fact is ‘that women are not politically-mind- and do not hold as tenaciously to litical beliefs, tenents and parties do the men. “If German women have support- Parties of the right rather than of the left, it ts becauge one the prime Interests of women is i of our youths.

Seattle firms are bidding on the |marble contract, according to the bank officials. The successful bid will be awarded Monday.
