Elliott Roosevelt, above, appeared in high spirits today as he waited to take the witness stand at the Brewster Committee's inquiry into Howard Hughes' wartime aircraft contracts. Young Roosevelt is shown as he heard John W. Meyer, Howard Hughes' free-spending press agent, tell the senate war investigating committee that he, Elliott, was "requested" to remain overseas throughout the 1944 election campaign.
