PROVIDENCE, R. I., November 1 (ILNC) -- Orson Welles, youthful theatrical producer whose mythical army of Martians sent thousands fleeing from imagined air raids and gas attacks Sunday night, has been granted the P. T. Barnum Memorial Award by the Brown Daily Herald. Mr. Welles will receive his trophy, a lollipop, today.
The award is given annually by that newspaper "to that individual who best plays the American public for the suckers they really are," the Daily Herald declared in its citation to Mr. Welles. The Herald further recommended in an editorial yesterday "that because Mr. Welles can get so many people excited over so little, President Roosevelt appoint him Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda."
