J Disruption of tplogruph and short wave radio service was the worst in 30 years, some experts said. The < American Telephone and Telegraph company, largest land-lino owner in the country, said it was the worst ' case of traffic impairment its eugt-j neors could recall. Cable communication between Ki^ rope and the New York Associated j Press office broke suddenly at 10:20 a. m. One channel was restored at 1:60 p. m. and a second at 3:07. Ser-j vice to I^atin American countries was unaffected, iuasmuch as it follows a north-south course. The direct cause, aocording to 1>1- ( rector William liartou of the Hay den Planetarium, was an "enormous" spot on the sun, resulting in severe earth currents. What happened was this, he said: The sun apot is cuuaod by a tre-; mendous oloctrlcal disturbance on the1 sun. The disturbance bombards the earth with a stream of electrical charges. The earth's magnetic force deflects this stream of charges toward the North and South poles and the stream, In heading toward the poles, disrupts other electric currents traveling at right angles, like conflicting streams of traffic. Tho force is so strong that It will sometimes reverse the direction of current in a circuit. Tho aurora borealis, or northern lights, Is a manifestation of this rush of particles to the poles; passing through the atmosphere It lights it up Just like a current Illuminates the gas In a neon tub? sign. The aurora was not visible last night, however. For four hours and ten minutes, starting at 10:30 a. m. (E. S. T.) the Associated Press network of 185,000 miles of leased wires was out of use? except In a 500-mile radius around New York City. The Amorican Telephone and Telegraph company,besides being shut off entirely from Europe for hours, re| ported domestic telegraph service disI rupted intermittently as far away as i Omaha, Kansas City and Dallas. WestI em Union said the disturbance went ; as far West as Denver. Telephone I service remained normal, i Strength of the eartli currents was i recorded us high as 500 volts In some places, burning out Insulation aud "repeaters" devices transferring signals from one wire to another In l^ng hookups. / While long wave radio broadcasting systems reported UtUe trouble, short wave communication was wiped out, except for short distances. Air lines communication consisted of a wireless relay system between nearby points when the land-line teletype system was unusable.
