MOST IMPORTANT NEWS PICTURES OF '38
Panic that spread from coast to coast as a result of the broadcast from New York of a play which described an imaginary invasion of the United States by men from Mars had its repercussions Oct. 31. Orson Welles, who described the fictitious attack over the air, is shown here (center) as he explained to newspaper reporters all about it. He and broadcast officials had no idea that the play, conceived as a novel years before by author H. G. Wells, would create such furor, he said.
