News in Brief: Hughes Helicopter Flies. Howard Hughes' giant helicopter, world's largest, in its maiden flight. Jet engines power the huge (and I mean huge!) rotor blades. Very unusual looking. Some men pose in front of the machine (presumably one of them is Hughes). Large group of press photographers and cameramen aim their cameras. VS the helicopter with giant blades taking off, hovering. Amazing. Invention, aviation.
