heavy, medium and light bombers,
fighters and interceptors. Achieve
ment of the goal is limited mainly
to trained personnel.
About $4,000 men are involved in
the transfers. The units are Or
ganized into eight bombardment
groups, eight reconnaissance squad
rons, four headquarters squadrons,
four pursuit groups and an air base

At least 13 of the groups have al
ready started moving elements to
their new stations and the others
will be transferred between May Is
and June 80, when the movement
will be completed. The 20 fledg-
ling units have been in training for
several months and have now
reached the point of efficiency that
permits them to leave their parent
organizations.
All but two of the fields to which
they are moving are new, marking
another stage, the War Department
said, in the construction phase of
the Air Corps expansion program.
The two older ones are Langley, Va,
and March Field, Calf.
OF the 20 groups, the 34th (heavy)
Bombardment and 4th Bombard-
ment Wing, 1st Air Force, already
has been transferred from Langley
Field to WeStover Field, Mass. The
1st Reconnaissance Squadron
Oheavy) also has been transferred
to the same field. They are the
only flying groups in this area af-
fected by the change.
Five New Fields Planned.
The Army is planning to open
five more air fields between June
and August at Fort Wayne, Ind;
East Baton Rouge, La; Meridian,
Miss; Bangor, Me-, and Manchester,
N. H.
The five older organizations in
volved in the transfers are the 17th
Bombardment Group and 89th
Reconnaissance Squadron, from

ton, Greg; the 1st Bombardment
Wing, from March Field, Calf, to
Tucson, Ariz.; the 18th Bombard-
ment Group and 38th Reconnais-
sance Squadron, from March Field
to Albuquerque, N. Mex.
Yesterday seven other Air Corps
units began moving to new stations,
four of them being scheduled to
leave Langley Field. Those are the

We, the Women
By Ruth MiIIe++

The girl who has decided to go
to city and look for a job ought
to spend plenty of time before
hand making her plans, lining up
her leads, and getting her rec
concentrations in order.
If she just picks up on the
spur of the moment and decides
to set out for the city to look
eor a job, chances are she will
come home a disappointed girl
For unless she has a plan for
job-hunting worked out in ad-
vance, a girl is likely to be aWed
oy the very size of a large city
and by the impersonal attitude of
he smart looking girls who sit
behind reception desks and try
to discourage timid visitors from
getting in to see the person who
hands out jobs.
A girl who hasn't thought out
her plan of campaign is likely to
find herself settled in an eXpen-
sive hotel (thereby cutting down

CHANCES ARE
SHE'LL LAND JOB

SO the smart thing for a girl
to do is to get her job-hunt plan
ned as carefully as a Hitler blitz-
krieg. She'll know before she ever
leaves home where she will live
and how much it will cost her.
She'll have an inexpensive room
reserved in advance, so that there
will be none of the business of
arriving at a hotel and finding
only expensive rooms vacant.
She'll have a good idea of what
meals cost, and she'll even have
a map of the city SO that she can
figure out how to find her way
around without wasting any more
money than necessary on taxi
fares.
She'll know to what firms she
expects to go for personal inter-
views, and will have made ap-
pointments for those interviews
by mail, whenever it was possible.
She will see that she has the
very best recommendations she is
able to get-and she won't be
content with the 'to whom it may
concern . - type, but will have
had her letters of recommended
ton sent to individual employers.

The first meeting of the exc

of federated women's clubs for the
fiscal year is scheduled for Sept.
