U.S. Women Could Control the Country Financially, Politically Greenwich, Conn., Feb. 8--(AP)-- There's nothing to stop the women from running thé country if they wanted to, a leading United States business man said here Tuesday night. Herman W. Steinkraus of Bridge- port, president of the United States Chamber of Commerce, discussed the present position of women in an address delivered before the an- nual meeting of the local Chamber of Commerce. From the economic standpoint, he said, women control 70 per cent of the country's private wealth, purchase more than 80 per cent of the goods, own more than 50 per cent of industrial corporation stocks, more than 44 per cent of public utilities and more than 40 per cent of all real estate. . "Finally, there are more of them," Steinkraus said. "That means they could control the vote if they want- ed to. They could demand any kind of performance they wanted and see to it that they got it." Shortage of Nurses Becoming Acute Ottawa, Feb. 8--(CP)--Dr. Char- lotte. Whitton, Ottawa social work- er, said Tuesday night the short- age of nurses in Canada is getting worse and threatens to become a crisis, A private-duty nurse work- ing seven days » week, she told the annual meeting of the Eastern On- tario Nurses Association, would earn what the City of Ottawa pays its mayor "for dropping in on the hydro meetings in his spare time." Dr. Whitton said parliament should vote money fer nurses' train- ing. . Points Out Need Of National Theatre Winnipeg, Feb. 8--(CP)-- Max- well Wray, noted English actor and director, said Monday that Cana- da urgently needs a national thea- tre to provide an opportunity for her amateur actors to develop their talents, Mr. Wray, here to adjudicate the Dominion Drama Festival Manitoba regional competitions, said in an interview the national theatre he had in mind was not a "brick and mortar affair--a building--but a national company which would tour the country and bring the theatre to your people." The standard of amateur theatre work in Canada is every bit as good as it is in England, he added. "Considering the lack of any professional theatre to give your actors guidance, their work is un- usually good." He said he thought it was un- fortunate that Canada's amateurs were being denied the chance to go on to drama schools where their abilities would be fully developed. For the beginning, such a com- pany would have to import players scene designers and directors to get the quality desired but later it would take in Canadian students and eventually become a predomin- antly Canadian organizations. Theatre of this kind could be created very easily, Mr. Wray said. The many groups and individuals interested in the Dominion Drama Festival could form its basis.
