Senators Take Recess In
Hughes Contract Probe
Hearing Postponed Until
Nov. II By Investiga-
tors; Hughes Happy

WASHINGTON, Aug. II -WR-
A Senate subcommittee called off
its drama-packed Howard Hughes
war contract probe today until
Nov. II and the millionaire Holly
wood plane maker jubilantly
claimed vindication and predicted
it would never be resumed.
The announced reason for the
surprise three-month recess was
the Investigators failure to find
John W. Meyer, Hughes tree
spending press agent.
Hughes characterized this as
ridiculous" He said Sen. Owen
Brewster, R., Me-, who flew to
Maine last weekend for a vaca-
ton, was ''too cowardly to stay
here and face the music"
"There was no reason for the
other Senators to continue his bat
tie for him." Hughes said. when
Senator Brewster headed for the
backwoods Of Maine, that was the
tipof. Washington was getting too
hot for him.
Brewster is Chairman Of the
War Investigating Committee
which began looking into $40, 000.-
600 worth of Hughes wartime
government aircraft deals last
spring. The inquiry was turned
over later to a subcommittee
headed by Sen. Homer Ferguson,
R., Mich.
SRO Crowd
As another standing-room-only
crowd assembled for what was to
have been the fifth day of Hughes
appearance On the witness stand,
Ferguson announced the decision
to quit until Nov. II. He said us.
Marshals had been unable to
catch up with Meyer. Hughes had
refused to aid in the search.
Ferguson ordered Hughes to re-
turn here on Nov. II - Eat 10
am" The wealthy aircraft de-
signer, builder and flier agreed,
but turned to reporters and said:
"You don't really think these
hearings will ever be resumed, do

days of wrangling with the hand
