In an analysis Of business and It's
future prospects. Carlton F. Sturdy
director of public relations OF the
American Can Co., declared yester-
day that America must increase its
production If it is to successfully
bridge the reconversion period.
Speaking before a luncheon meet
ing of the Women's Advertising Club
at the Lee Sheraton Hotel, Mr.
Sturdy told the group it was their
patriotic duty, as well as the duty OF
other representatives of business to
influence the country's buying power
as an instrument in stemming inf1a-
ton and stepping up production.
He supported his statement with
a quotation from a recent state
ment made by President Truman
in which the President said that
production is our salvation
and the true key to reconversion'
to economic liberty and prosperity
Mr.. Sturdy decried the present
vacation atmosphere" of recon-
version planning, and called for
more cooperation" in getting the
wheels Of production going.
In referring to recent stoppages in
production, he affirmed no faction
whether labor or management, has
a right to inconvenience the public
to settle its own ends and asserted
that a delicate balance between
these factions is needed to assure
the success of high-level production
and prosperity.
He upheld the Importance of ad.
vertising in business, but stressed
the need, on the part of advertisers
for a more serious aWareness of theil
responsibility in informing the pub
lie.
He supported his statement witt

Duchess Of Molf"
Opens on Broadway;
Lee in Whitefoce

NEW YORK (NNPA) - John
Webster's EliZabethan melodrama,
"The Duchess Of Malf," opened at
the Barrymore theater last Tuesday
night with Canada Lee appearing
as a white actor with the aid Of a
white makeup devised by a Fifth
Avenue specialist.
Mr.. Lee was called in when Nc
Kay Morris quit the role during the
third week Of rehearBals.
The casting Of Mr.. Lee in an i'm
pOrtant role created certain Difficult
ties during the tryout tour, as the
Wilmington, Delaware, booking was
cancelled by the management Of the
Playhouse with the evasive expla-
nation that I'VE just didn't care 10
play the attraction on those days"
Accordingly, the producer changed
the booking and the show went 70
the McCarter theater in Princeton,
New Jersey, instead.
After the opening performance
Mr.. Lee was generally acclaimed
for the intelligence, ease and scope
of his acting.
The editorial closed with the
paragraph: "These persons and
groups have a right 10 their views
and a right to promulgate them.
But the cloak Of anonymity which
enshrouds their members, especially
any who may be close at hand, lends
an implication Of eowardioe to their
actiyities.H
