Howard Hughes Rapped By RKO Stockholders
NEW YORK (UP)—A group of stockholders has filed suit against movie magnate Howard Hughes charging he was driving RKO pictures bankrupt by putting film lovelles on the payroll "solely for the purposes of furthering his personal interests."
The stockholders asked state Supreme Court Justice Samuel di Falco yesterday to appoint a receiver for the corporation charging that Hughes' "whim and caprice" had caused the company to lose more than six million dollars since 1948.
Among the lovelles whom Hughes was said to have employed but never used in films were bosomy Italian actress Gina Lollobrigida, Merle Oberon, Ann Sheridan and French ballerina Jeanmaire.
"Talent was employed at exorbitant prices without the talent being used," the complaint charged. "Talent was employed at the whim and caprice of Hughes and solely for the purposes of furthering his personal interests without regard to the interests of RKO and Radio Pictures."
Di Falco reserved decision on the suit.

Benson Puts Cattle Price Support Question Up to Livestock Groups
WASHINGTON — Agriculture Secretary Era T. Benson today put the question of a cattle price support program up to the nation's major livestock and farm groups.
Benson asked 22 organizations for their reaction "as soon as possible" to a request by the House Agriculture Committee for government supports to help cattlemen hit by skidding livestock prices.
Although many individual livestock producers have been pressing for supports, most major farm and livestock groups have opposed them. A majority of the 22 organizations queried are expected to come out against the committee's request.
Benson Opposed
Benson himself has said a price support program on live cattle would be "impractical."
In a telegram to Rep. Clifford R. Hope, (R-Kan) chairman of the Agriculture Committee, Benson said:
"Our analysis of your proposal indicates that it would involve administrative actions of great magnitude and of a complex nature.
"We do not believe that such action should be undertaken without giving the livestock and meat industry an opportunity to consider all aspects and the effects upon the industry."
Purchasing Program
Benson has stated he believed the department's current purchase program on canned beef and hamburger would give sufficient aid to cattlemen.
In his telegram to Hope, Benson said "we in the department share the concern of your committee regarding the cattle situation and our goal is to carry out a sound program which is in the interest of the cattle producer and the general public."
He said the department already has contracted for the purchase of 143 million pounds of canned beef and gravy, the equivalent of more than 500,000 head of cattle, to help bolster prices on lower grades of cattle.
He said the "full impact" of the purchase program is "yet to be felt since only about 44 million pounds have been delivered so far.

Speedboat Victim
Files $500,000 Suit
SAN BERNARDINO (UP) For mer airline hostess Boni Buehler, who lost an arm and a leg in a Lake Arrowhead speedboat accident, has filed a $500,000 damage suit against hotelman Conrad Hilton and several others.
The suit, filed yesterday by attorney John Lewis King, charges negligence and asks $350,000 general damages and $150,000 for loss of future earnings.
Hilton was owner of the boat from which the attractive 23-year-old fell into the lake two months ago. The boat's propeller severed her left arm and her left leg was amputated as a result of injuries suffered in the accident.
Others named in the suit were Eddy and Ellise Juan, custodians of the boat; the Los Angeles Turf Club, which operates the lake resort area; Quay Sargeant, boat driver, and Geary Steffan, former husband of actress Jane Powell, who was water skiing behind the craft.
