The plane was due to arrive in Hous ton at 12:15. THE TRANSPORTATION com mittee had arranged to have Hughes flown from Houston to College Station on a plane supplied by the Continental Oil Company. Someplace between Washington and Houston Flight 503 had run into difficulty and would not ar rive in Houston on time. It was later learned that Flight 5503 had been substituted and was to arrive at 4:15. Hughes was not on Flight 5503. The transportation committee now had their problem: Where was Hughes? THE COMMITTEE was now in touch with the Eastern Airlines desk at the Houston Airport; the director of Continental Oil Com pany at his home; Continental’s pilots in their hanger at the air port; John Lindsey, SCONA ad visor and director in Houston; and a Continental secretary in their Houston office. It was now after 5 p.m. and Hughes was scheduled to speak to the SCONA delegates at 8 p.m. Telephone calls were being made to Houston every five minutes in a desperate attempt to find the whereabouts of Hughes. J. WAYNE STARK, director of the Memorial Student Center, checked the Center’s switch-board to see if Zeiner had called. For some reason the board was not re ceiving calls. A frantic effort was made to have all the MSC’s calls trans ferred to another switch-board at the telephone company.

Ballroom learned that Zeiner was to call by the direct dialing system which meant that the call could not be transferred. It was now evident that Hughes would have to be found within the next few minutes or else another program would have to be sched uled. THE ARRANGEMENTS com mittee was put into action. Dr. Howard A. Culter, academic vice- president, University of Alaska, volunteered to read Hughes’ speech which had been sent earlier to Ronnie Fann, publicity chair man. Plans were being made to have Dr. Alfred F. Chalk, head of the Department of Economics at A&M, and Dr. F. H. H. King, as sociate professor of Economics at the University of Kansas, assist Dr. Cutler in a question and an r swer session after the speech. For some reason or another the MSC’s switch-board was now working and at 6:10 p.m. Stark re ceived the long awaited call from Zeiner informing him that Hughes was found at the Houston Airport and would be airborne in a matter of minutes. HUGHES ARRIVED at Easter- wood Airport at 7:15 p.m. on the Continental plane Hughes, immediately following a short reception in his honor, left for Houston on the same plane which brought him here. Where was he all day? Well, they say that the story is so con fused no one would ever believe it.
