Description given with photo: "Hughes Alone As Probers Recess Till Fall, Washington, D.C. - Plane builder Howard Hughes, above, sat alone in the normally jam-packed senate caucus room today after war investigating sub-committee chairman Homer Ferguson, (R) of Mich., announced that because of the disappearance of press agent John W. Meyer, the Hughes war contract investigation has been recessed until November 17, 1947. Hughes, shown checking his private papers, wrathfully termed the postponement action by the sub-committee chairman as "ridiculous." -INP Photo by A.E. Scott- 8/11/47."
