Howard Hughes testifies before a Senate Subcommittee investigating war contracts, in Washington, DC, United States

Howard Hughes testifies before the "Brewster" Senate Subcommittee, investigating war contracts. He talks about World War 2 contracts involving ordering of aircraft, light aircraft carriers, and the atomic bomb by President Roosevelt, through channels outside normal procurement bureaus. He states that he did not make 15 million dollars of profit on 40 million dollars in war contracts, despite assertions that gave the public that impression. In another comment he says, "If TWA (Trans World Airways) does anything wrong, I get blamed for it. But when TWA does anything right, then I had nothing to do with it. That's like Hollywood. When it's a good picture, Sam Goldwyn made it, but when its a bad picture, Willi Wyler (William Wyler) made it."
