Police cars screamed through the streets of a score of towns, responding to frenzied alarms. The reaction was bitter and the Columbia broadcasting system, on whose network the program —a dramatization of H. G.

It is believed that the Mercury will retail for less than $1 000. but the price will not be disclosed until Nov. 3. The Mercury will fill the price gap in the Ford line between the Ford de luxe and the Zephyr. The Mercury is longer and wider than tlie de luxa F ord and everything about it is bigger.

nounced that he would investigate at once. He said he had received no complaints, but that the commission could investigate without having received complaints. "Apparently the broadcast was quite realistic," he said. McNinch spoke before he went to his offices to examine the morning mails and telegrams. Among other officials in the east demanding that the commission do something. was Paul Morton, city manager of Trenton. The broadcasting system had taken every precaution to prevent anyone thinking its program was real. Program listings in Sunday newspapers had announced that the time between 8 and 9 p. m. would be taken by Orson Wells and the Mercury theater of the air in "the war of the worlds.” Welles, the playwright and actor, opened the program with a detailed exposition of the series of which the program was a part. Then, four times during the hour broadcast, an announcer broke in to inform listeners that it was a play. The play was realistic enough that if heard independently of the announcements, it was identical with many ordinary news programs. It began with a weather report. An announcer said that the program would continue with dance music from a hotel. Then came a few minutes of swing • music. This was interrupted by a flash reporting that an observatory professor had noted a series of gas explosions on the planet Mars. Then came a series of bulletins and first hand reporting from the scene. One of the first bulletins said a meteor had landed near Princeton, killing 1.500 persons. Soon, another bulletin announced that it hadn't been a meteor at all. but a metal cylinder containing “strange creatures” armed with death rays who were warring on earth’s inhabitants. Then an ac-, tor, representing the secretary of. the interior, came on, spoke of the I
