General Meyers Denies Asking Hughes for $50,000 Loan
Washington reports retired Air Force General Bennett E. Meyers testified before a Senate War Investigating subcommittee that he did not ask Howard Hughes to lend $50,000 during the war and said he sought the loan earlier this year. He asserted Hughes offered postwar employment, discussed salary, and that other figures pressed for Hughes’ war contracts. Meyers described himself as a modest workhorse in the wartime effort.

Coal Car Shortage May Be Eased Soon
Washington reports Col. J. Monroe Johnson of the Office of Defense Transportation says coal car shortages hampered the mining industry this year but relief is expected. Factors include end of the Great Peak season freeing 60,000 cars, reduced coal exports in late 1947, and colder weather lowering demand for noncoal open cars. Johnson notes weekly bituminous coal movement hit a high of 33 million tons and that 1947 production could set a new record to meet requirements.
