structed the war department to
halt all re-shipments Of American

It was an undreamed OF speed,

Hughes Unable to Move
When spectators ran to him
when he landed here, they found
Hughes unable to move, 1t was
20 minutes before he could get out
of the ship. The first thing he
wanted was food.
He had brought two bars of
chocolate with him, but when his
oxygen tank did not work prop

tube in his mouth and that pre-
vented his eating. He was hun

He admitted being tired, too,
but said the excitement of it all
had kept him from getting

Arizona when he was afraid he
would lose consciousness.

Hughes left with 284 gallons of
gas and used 200. At that rate,
Palmer said, the ship would have a
cruising radius of $500 miles.
He routed his flight to pass near
