Hughes Takes Option
On Stock in R-K-0
By the Associated Press
HOLLYWOOD, May 3. — Howard
Hughes, who does things in the
grand manner, has readied another
eight or nine million dollars to put
into a new venture.
The 43-year-old bachelor who de
veloped an oil tool business into a
vast fortune, branched into movie
production, got out of it and into
the airplane business, has taken an
option to purchase control of RKO
Studios.
Not content with bossing one of
the world’s biggest commercial air
lines and building and flying ex
perimental planes, Mr. Hughes last
night announced that he had
reached a tentative agreement with
Floyd Odium for the purchase of
the latter's 928,000 shares of RKO
stock.
Mr. Hughes said recently he was
convinced an independent producer
could not compete on favorable
footing with the majors.
Mr. Hughes produced the daring
“Hell’s Angels” when talkies were
still in the experimental stage. He
discovered the platinum blond Jean
Harlow, who became a box office
attraction. He discovered and
starred Jane Russell in "The Out
law.”
Plight of Americans
In Palestine Studied
The plight of about 4 000 Ameri
can citizens in Palestine was be
lieved to have figured in a special
Sunday conference at the State
Department.
Undersecretary of State Lovett
called officials into the conference
to go over reports from the Holy
Land yesterday, with no public in
dication of what particular matters
were under discussion.
Authorities assumed possible
measures to protect American cit
izens in a situation apparently
growing worse rapidly were given
attention.
The State Department has ac
knowledged that plans are ready to
evacuate citizens who want to leave
Palestine when It is decided condi
jtions call for such a move.
With that possibility in view, a
United States consulate was opened
l last month at Haifa, the port city
; since wrested from the Arabs by
, the Jews. The British retain control
of harbor areas there.
To help carry out possible evacua
tion measures, the Navy has 2,000 or
more Marines aboard the aircraft
carrier Philippine Sea and other
ships in the Mediterranean.
