Hughes Electronics is combining three aerospace and electronics operations into an entity called the Hughes Aerospace and Electronics Company. The merged company, to have headquarters in Washington and Los Angeles, is intended to make it easier for the Federal Government to work with the company by focusing contracting efforts on one operation. Hughes, a unit of the General Motors Corporation, will combine the three operations that did the bulk of the company's Government contracting: aerospace and military, missile systems and computer systems integration. Richard Dore, a company spokesman, said there would be job cuts, though he declined to be specific. "Undoubtedly when you have this type of restructuring element, there are going to be cuts," he said. The combined units employ about 36,000 workers, or three-quarters of the 50,000 employees at Los Angeles-based Hughes Aircraft. Together, Hughes Aircraft and Delco Electronics make up General Motors' Hughes Electronics unit, which employs a total of 80,000 workers.

Hawaiian Air's efforts to emerge from bankruptcy protection were delayed after a Federal judge postponed ruling on a key step after hearing objections by creditors. A bankruptcy judge in Honolulu put off for at least a week a hearing on the outline of a reorgnization plan from HAL Inc., the airline's parent company. BHA Aviation Inc., a New York investment firm, objected to the company's disclosure statement because it did not mention BHA's $21 million bid. The State of Hawaii and other smaller creditors also raised objections. But Bruce Nobles, HAL president and chief operating officer, said: "This does not indicate any problems from an operating or financial standpoint. It's just administrative." HAL hoped to get out of Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in May, and the delay will push back its plans to June, Mr. Nobles said. Under the terms of a marketing agreement with the AMR Corporation, the parent of American Airlines, HAL must be out of bankruptcy proceedings by May. "American has agreed to a one-week continuance, and we believe they will agree to an additional continuance," Mr. Nobles said.
