The possibility is considered of using the collective gravitational radiation from all the W UMa binary stars in the Galaxy for critical tests of gravitational theories. The class of detectors which respond to the Riemann tensor is briefly examined, and the detectability of the cited radiation is analyzed. It is shown that the random stress field due to gravitational waves from all the W UMa binaries in the Galaxy will not be detectable in the near future because of interference from local gravity gradients.
