Telegraphs Observe
‘Silent Key’ Tribute
NEW YORK UP — A “silent key"
tribute to the late President Ken
nedy halted telegraph communi
cations briefly around much of the
world today.
The “silent key” tradition of
paying respect to illustrious dead

telegraph communications when
transmissions were clicked out in
Morse code by a key operator. Vir
tually all telegraph communica
tions today are by teletype.
American Communications As
sociation and RCA Communica
tions Incorporated halted all trans
missions over RCA telegraph fa
cilities from noon to 12:05 p.m.
The same tribute also were ar
ranged with French transmissions.
A similar observance was ar
ranged by Western Union Interna
tional and Western Union Tele
graph Company shirting at 1 p.m.
The Associated Press wires were
silent for one minute when taps
sounded at Arlington Cemetery.
WASHINGTON — There was a
momentary stir at St. Matthews
Cathedral when glass from a win
dow in a building next to the Ca
thedral shattered and showered
down on police and troops. Secret
Service men and police rushed to
the sixth floor of the office build
ing and were seen peering out of
the window shortly afterwards. A
Secret Serviceman told a reporter
that a man trying to open the
window had broken it accidentally.
