2. The late Harry L. Hopkins,
adviser to President Roosevelt,
called him to the White House

modern photo planes. He said
Hopkins had been listening to
Elliott Roosevelt, then in charge
of photo reconnaissance in Eu-

3. Hughes had some ''very
powerful friends exerting pres

Meyers, now retired after 80
years in the Army, dealt at one
time during the recent war with
aircraft procurement. He was
deputy assistant chief of the air
staff.
He disputed most vigorously
written testimony taken by the
Senate committee in closed ses-

Carthy, Los Angeles lawyer and
Hughes company official.
Mccarthy said that Meyers had
attempted to borrow $4,000 from
Hughes in 1914 during negotia-

photo reconnaissance planes from
Hughes.
1T is ludicrous-absolutely ri
diculous-to think that l, in any
way, shape or form, tried to
solicit one nickel or dime from
Mr.. Hughes" he said firmly.
AS to the loan he attempted
to get this year, after he had re-
tired, Meyers said he wanted il
to finance small business in
Los Angeles.
The fact that he was in Los

to turn to Hughes. He added he
