The Commissioners, according to

progress, it was learned today.
The control headquarters is being
established in the operations Office

manded by Capt. Caleb V. Haynes,

suit Squadron.
Capt. Haynes flew here from Rich
mond yesterday to inspect the facili-
ties at Boiling for the control station
and to make arrangements for the
transfer. He returned to Richmond
during the afternoon and Is expected
to complete the transfer today.
The reason given for the transfer
was lack Of hangar space at Rich

mail planes and for repair and serv-
icing facilities. The base there has
been located at the Municipal Airport,
but the Army, by edict of the War
Department, Is prohibited from using
facilities made available to Eastern
Air Transport, whose airmail contract
was Cancelled, and this has reduced
the usable facilities.
The change will bring to Washing
ton not only the coastal airmail head
quarters, but also Air Corps personnel
and Reserve planes used for the MAIN
tenance of service between New York
and Miami. Richmond will be con-
tinued as a stop on the coastal run
and will be left with q small servicing
crew commanded by Lieut.. L. p.
Turner, Air Corps.
Capt. Haynes is expected to take
over administration of all airmail o2er-
ations out Of Washington, including
not only those along the coastal route,
but also on the route from Washing
ton to Pittsburgh and Cleveland. He
probably will relieve Lieut.. La Verne

two weeks has commanded the local

The transfer was approved by Mai
