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. And ' not too hard to

Hughes, first of all, is a mechan
ical "-nius. 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.

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.

TOKYO W Tokyo's skyrocket
ing Inflation In land prices reached
a new high today when a down

Otnza listed his 25-by-40-foot lot for
sale for M06.000 or best olfer.
He reported 30 to 30 Inquiries.
Although this is probably a rec

the whopping price is In line with
an Inflation that has boosted land
prices here as much as 10 times
In three yearB, -
In American terms, a strictly
ordinary empty house lot 50 by

Experts blame the spiral on
