Hughes Aircraft Payoff Drama Stuns Washington Officials
Washington tense over the Hughes built airship contract as lawmakers grill terms. The government paid 18 million for three ships and 13 million for one, with Civil Aeronautics Administration delaying civilian flight until tested.

The Senate probes reveal questions about ownership and use of the largest airship in the world now idle and unflown.
