Hughes Arrives In Washington For Inquiry Wavaaini-ton Howard HughM arrived here early today after an "uneventful" 12-hour itight from the West Coast to attend a second found of Senate hearings on his wartime airplane contracts. Unshaven and sleepy after the long spell at the controls of his converted B-23 bomber. Hughes had ittie to say about the resumption of the inquiry by the Senate War Investigating Committee.

He said he could not tell when ho might appear before the committee or what he might say. He added he would wait until he is aked to testify before replying to an assertion of Senator Williams R-DeL) that the Hughes companies owe the government almost in taxes. Tax Question Due That matter, brought up by the IViawarc senator in testimony a tew days ago. was expected to come up again. Hut the question of the moment before the committee was: Why did Maj.

Gon. Bennett E. Meyers reject a United States budget recommendation that a $70,000,000 Hughes contract be switched to some other manufacturer? The committee hoped to get a detailed answer today from Meyers himself, wartime deputy chief of Air Force procurement at Wright Field. Dayton, Ohio. Myers figured in yesterday's testimony when the committee produced 1944-43 Budget Bureau reports which urged transfer elsewhere of Hughes S70.274.64S7 contract for 10O photo reconnaissance planes.

This contract later was cut to three ships at $22,000,000. Report Read Brig. Gen. James F. Phillips read the committee a Meyers' report which turned down the proposed transfer as impractical.

It was not certaia when Meyers would get to- the stand today or whether Hughes would be called. The first scheduled witness was former Brig. Gen. Albert J. Brown-iag.

now a Ford Motor Company vicepresident. During the war he a special assistant to Undersecretary of War Robert P. Patterson. Senator Ferguson chairman of the subcommittee handling the investigation, declined to give any advance information as to where Browning fits into the Hughes picture. Gannett News Service Washington The Truman administration is riveting a new "iron curtain" around the Marshall for eign aid program.

Climaxing weeks of international discussions and statistics-gather ing, the sudden "big freeze" is interpreted here as forerunner of another "crisis report" 1 by Presi dent Truman. Work Day, Night Undersecretary of State Robert A. Lovett described the 'last seven days as Marshall-plan "Hell Week." Every government official connect ed with the Marshall plan has been shuffling papers day and night in an effort to get all the voluminous reports and background informa tion into shape. This is so the White House can draft Mr. Truman's message to the special session of Congress, along with an administration legislative blueprint on foreign aid.

The lid was clamped down by Secretary of State George C. Mar shall, Mr. Truman's Harriman Com mittee on foreign aid, and the congressional Herter Committee on Foreign Assistance all within a matter of hours. The Herter Committee, recently back from a European inspection trip, held its first meeting at the Capitol. It adjourned without giv ing a statement.

Precautions Taken The Harriman Committee met behind locked doors to approve final draft of its report to Mr. Truman. It has only 20 copies of its report, so far, and these are numbered and checked in and out at each meeting to prevent "leaks." Secretary Marsnairs news conference was a complete "dud" so far as information on foreign aid was concerned. Marshall appeared testy and tired after several weeks' commuting between wasningion and the UN General Assembly in New York. The lilao is believed to have been imported from Persia to Eu rope the 16th century.

Parnell Thomas (R-N. chairman of the House yn-American Activities Com mittee, told a hometown audience last night it "may be so" that the secret of the atom bomb is out but, he emphasized, the Russians didn't say they could make the atom bomb." Commenting on a speech broadcast from Moscow yesterday by Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov, nomas said there was a long road between knowing how the atom bomb works and the making of one. Molotov had said in his speech the atom bomb secret "has long ceased to exist." "If they do know the secret," Thomas told the Allendale Junior Woman's Club, "it does not say they can make the bomb now." Declares Truman Can Curb Credit Washington If President Truman thinks there is an urgent need to restore instalment buying curbs as a check on inflation he can do so immediately without ask ing congressional action, Chairman Wolcott (R-Mich) of the House Banking Committee declared today.

Regulations requiring a one-third down payment and fixing a 15-month time limit on the balance for purchase of such goods as washing machines, radios and automobiles expired last Saturday midnight under legislation. Congress passed in July. But as "escape clause" in the repealer bill, along with the Trading With the Enemy Act, permits President Truman to proclaim an emergency and order down payments of "50, 70 or even 100 per cent," Wolcott told a reporter. Restoration of creait sontrota was recommended last week by the President's Council of Economic Advisers. Mr.

Truman is expected to be guided by the council's report in drafting his anti-inflation program for the special session of Congress Nov. 17. The President last summer asked direct authority from Congress for continuing the controls, saying he did not believe such regulations should rest indefinitely in peacetime on emergency or war powers.
