Terrified families evacuated apartment blocks women and children fainted Church congregations fled in panic. One women tried to commit suicide. And from Atlantic to Pacific there was hysteria and fear. All this occurred during a super dramatic production over the Columbia Hroadcasting System of War of the Worlds, written by England's H. C.

Wells and produced by America's 23 year old actor prodigy, Orson Welles. Stepped l'p Tempo The stepped up tempo of newscasting used in the program brought panic stricken calls to radio stations and news paper offices. Some telephone operators stopped saying "Hello," go great was the load on switchboards, and kepi repeating instead: "It's only a radio play." Today. Chairman Frank McNinch of the United States Communications Commission ask ed the C.B.S. to supply the commission with an electrical trans scription ol the program which started at 7 p.m., C.S.T.

Sunday. "Any broadcast that creates such general panic and fear," said McNinch, "as this one is reported to have done is. to say the least, regrettable." McNinch received many telephone calls Sunday night and protesting telegrams reached the commission today. A member of Congress also announced he would demand a Congressional investigation. ANXIETY ACROSS U.S.

WAS "IMMEASURABLE" NEW YORK, Oct. 31. Hysteria among radio listeners throughout the United States and actual panicky evacuations from sections of the metropolitan areas resulted from a too realistic broadcast Sunday night describing a fictitious and devastating visitation of strange men from Mars. Excited and weeping persons all over the country swamped newspaper and police switchboards with the question: "It is true?" It was purely a figment of H. G.

Wells' Imagination with some extra flourishes ot dramatization by Orson Welles. It was a broadcast by the Columbia Broadcasting tem. But the anxiety was immeasurable. The broadcast was an adaptation or Wells' "War of the World." in which meteors and gas fiom Mars menace the earth. New York police were unable to contact the C.B.C.

When outside reception is poor and Charlie McCarthy is holding forth there is little argument as to what program ill be tuned in.
