Newspaper Page TextPAGE TWO HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON TUESDAY, JANiubi. Howard Hughes Has All It Jakes To Make Him One Of America's Top Attractions ' Editor's Note He's eccentric. He. controversial, He shuns the limelight, yet keeps milting news. He's Howard Hughes, who has enough money to do what he wants, and does lu-with the Hughes flair. In five stories, of which this Is the first, an AP writer goes behind the scenes to tell you what Hughes , Is really like. By JAMES BACON HOLLYWOOD - Wl Houston, Hollywood and Las Vegas are three . fabulous places. And the most fab ulous citizen of each may well be Howard Hughes. , All unwillingly, If you listen to the friends who paint him as the shy, retiring type. Yet he's always : doing things that get him In tbe papers. ' What kind of man Is this phan tom, who sometimes acts like a , throwback to the -rugged lndivid- ualists of another century? Is he genius? Or an overgrown . boy .who ' toys with movie studios, and oil wells, and airplanes? Is he shrewd, ruthless, gentle all at : once? Does he pinch pennies and toss away millions? Is he Holly wood's greatest off-screen lover? Is he, or Isn't he, supereccentrlc In the Hollywood world where normal behavior is eccentric? - ' Let's try to smash through that small army of high-paid public relations men and executives who run- interference for him. No executive in the country, In' eluding . the President, Is harder to get to than Hughes via normal channels. It's- amazing how many in Hollywood, Including some of his high-priced help, never have seen the man. Yet once you get to talk with him. he's easv-trointr. charmln(r and courteous.

It's not difficult to under and why. He is the son of a man ho did almost as much as Henry Ford to roll America Into tbe motor age. His father invented the famous rock bit oil well drill with 166 cut ting edges that chews through flint as easily as mud. With it, drillers all over the world first were able to strike the 16,000-foot depths that tapped unknown petroleum riches. Howard was bora In Houston but spent much of his childhood In Dal. las. Serious, shy even then, his favorite toys were tools. Before he entered high school, he had invented a practical muffler for motorcycles, constructed his own hot rod of parts from automobile graveyards and monkeyed around wnn a steam automobile. He was 19 wben bis father died in 1923. Hughes says that the gov ernment appraised the business at 1650,000. By 1949. when 75 per cent of the world's oil wells were drilled with Hughes equipment, It was worm, better than 140 million. That's the price, according to the new York Times, that a Wall stree syndicate offered Hughes then. He didn't soil,' for It's the fountain of income, estimated at better than three million year v that lulees Hughes' other enterprises such as Trans World Airline, a Texas Brewery, RKO Pictures, Hughes aircraft and others. Hughes was educated at fashion able prep schools in Boston and OJal, Calif., studied at California Institute of Technology and Rice insuiuie. Pilots and mechanics around early California airfields recall Hughes as a reticent, boyish flier wno never laughed much. In the air, he was a hell-on-wheels dare devil. His Interest in flying and his, minions lea to me turning in 1928 of "Hell's Angels,", with air se quences which probably are the finest the screen has seen. Hughes' passion for speed led to the founding of Hughes Aircraft in 1931, so he could design and fly his own, ships. Long-time friends estimate he has made 30,000 take offs and landings In every dc- scrlbable type of craft. His design Included the first twin-boom fight er, later known as the Loclrheed Lightning, and the big Constella tion. He . first won international air prominence in 1935 when, with no advance fanfare, he wrested the ground speed record from Prance, going 352 m.p.h. Two years later he took the same ship across country for a. transcontinental record of 7 hours and 28 minutes. It stood until late In World War II. The Russian government offered him big money for the plane but Hugnes reiused. A friend explains: 'Howard was and still Is Holly wood's most violent anti-Commu nist." Hughes' greatest air feat was the 1938 round-the-world flight. He and his crew made the trip In 91 hours, bettering by half the record oi me laie wney fosi. It was a typical Hughes opera tlon, without fanfare.. His scientific devotion almost killed him in 1946 on the first flight or nis xril, a highly experimental plane reputed at that time to be the fastest long-range craft built. He knew for 25 minutes ahead of lime that the ship was going to crasn am wun a designer's curt ousity he loosened his safety belt, inspected the plane and -convinced himself that the right propeller was causing the trouble. Then he tried to pancake It on a golf course. Instead, he hit three homes and a garage. His chest and left lung crushed skull fractured, nine ribs broken, burned, bruised, shocked, he was given little cnance to live. The next day he summoned two aides to the hospital and wanted to conduct business as usual. A horrified doctor stationed a deputy sheriff outside his door with orders to admit no one but doctors and nurses. Hovering between life and death Hughes asked the doctor to deliver a message to the military that the propeller caused the crash. "Tell them to study It," Hughes gasped. "I don't want this to hap pen to anyone else." Soon he Improved enough to find fault with his hospital bed and da sign a new one, ordering his en gineers to build it Immediately "We were amazed," said one hospital official. "If he had flown that bed out of the hospital, wouldn't have been surprised." Among his get-well messages was one from President Truman. Enclosed was the congressional medal awarded Hughes five years earlier lor nis round-the-world flight. He never had bothered to pick It up. (Next: The Flylnr Lumberyard) Roosevelt - Asks Divorce SANTA MONICA, Qallf, (P) James Roosevelt, 46, who separat ed five months ago from his sec ond wife, Romelle Schneider Roos evelt, 38. has sued for a decree of separate maintenance, alleging tnat sne caused hint ' mental and physical anguish and distress." They were wed In Beverly Hills, Calif., In 1941 in a civil ceremony. They met In 1938 in Rochester, Minn., when Miss Schneider, a hos pital nurse, was assigned to Rods evelt's case when he had an ab dominal operation. They have tnree children. Roosevelt's lawyer. Samuel B. Plcone. said negotiations for an amicable settlement of financial is sues were started last Sept. 1 but have been unproductive. The com plaint stated that Roosevelt had made numerous requests to his wife for return of such items as the late Franklin D. Roosevelt's wrist watch, cigarette holder, ring and similar articles of sentimental value. 'She has refused to deliver them and still refuses to do so," read the complaint. iSNAPPy-SEW!
