Hughes Circles Globe In Less
Than Four Days, "A New Record
Averaged Over 100 Miles Per
Hour. Big Celebration Staged
IN New York.

Floyd Bennett Airport, N. Y, July
14.-Around the world in less than
four days, Howard Hughes, Texas
neutrality-suspicious., and his four
intrepid companions sliced the
globe girdling record in half today,
completing a, 14,824-mile circuit In
81 hours and IA minutes.
Wildly cheered by an estimated
$4,000 spectators, Hughes swooped
his big silver, monoplane to per-
feet landing here at 1877 p. M, (Est).
Wiley Post, flying solo in 1888, took
seven days, Is hours and 40 min
utes for virtually the same route.
Hughes eyes were red. His shirt
was smudged with CRIME. Almost
without sleep, he had stuck it out
at the control of the big sky streak
ing ship aided only by automatic
gyro-pilot, ever since taking off from
Floyd Bennett Field last Sunday at
$40 p. m, (EST).
Ninety hours later, he was still
cunning the twin-motored plane at
terrific speed across Manhattan's
skyscrapers this afternoon, after the
final swift 1,054-mile hop from Min
neapolis this morning.
Near the breaking point as the
ship landed, Hughes disclosed for
the first time two facts he never had
limited in his radio broadcasts dur
ing the fiight-that faulty maps
nearly scored a tragic finale to the
aerial odyssey in Siberia, and that
on the Transatlantic stretch his gas
supply had been barely enough" to
reach Paris.
If the flight had continued at night
out of Yakutsk, Siberia, as original
ly planned, he said, the plane might
well have crashed into jagged noun
tains the height of which was incor-
rectly recorded on their maps.
Saw High Mountains
'It's a damn good thing I didn't
try to fly out of Yakutsk at night" "
''The maps we have show there
are no mountains higher than $500
feet there We measured the noun
tains as we passed over them the
next morning They were $500 feet
high covered with snow.
Stubbled-bearded and groggy with
exhaustion, the five daring airmen
climbed stiffly down from their
great blunt-nosed ship to face wild
ly cheering thousands who surged
against police cordons to acclaim
their feat Dirty and disheveled,
their faces were line with fatigue.
But they had clipped almost four
days from the historic time made by
the late Wiley Post in his solo dash
from the same field in 1888. Post
flew over virtually the same route in
seven days, Is hours and 40 minutes.
He averaged SO miles per hour on
elapsed time, while Hughes and his
companions snsationally stepped it
up to approximately ISL.

Eddie would have had no troubls
making his weight had he decided
to return to the race track. He
spent most of his time on an en-
fcrcSd Diet. But finally, having
established himself a. a comedian
with a versatile hoofirg act to boot
A. began to get better bookings.
It was during his vaudeville days
in the East that Eddie first met
Jack Benny. They just shoe
hands-nothirg more. But Jack
remembered Edo e's name as well
as his act, a fact which was to
pave the way to Anderson's evsnt-
ual selection as Rochester"

Eddie drifted back home to Califor

tracted attention. of NOAH in
"Grcen Pastures and was hailed
ty critics everywhere for his whim-
sical Characterization.
A year later Jack Benny decid-
ed he needed a "valet." When he
issued his auditor call, Jack made
sure that Eddie whose work he
remembered was invited to try out.
The following Sunday, Rochester"
was born. Today his one of the
most popular supporting charac-
ters in the Benny gang.
A. born compleme mt to the Benny
type Of comedy, Rochester never
has to rehearse a line twice. He is
ono of the actors on whom Jack
can depend for sure-fire laughs
end is never caught off balance
by one of the boss's "ad lib"
cracks" Possessed of remark
able memory Eddie usually knows
his lines by heart at broadcast
time and seldom refers to his
script.
At rehearsals and scrip sessions
Eddie is usually very quiet, pays
rapt attention to Benny, whom he
idolizes. If Jack smokes cigar,
Eddi, lights one, too. If Jack looks
perturbed, Eddie's brow wrinkles
also. During the rest periods he
can usually be found in the vicin-
ity Of Phil Harris orchestra

After his aadio debut, Anderson
