       Women Fliers Plan Tour
     Ruth Nichols and 3 Other to
      Promote Relief Wings, Inc.

  Ruth Nichols, executive director of RElief Wings, Inc., a group formed to maintain "disaster relief service for defense and civil emergencies, announced yesterday that she would leave today with three other women fliers on an airplane tour of the entire United States.
  Miss Nichols, who landed at La Guardia Field in the Beechcraft she will use on the trip, said the tour was planned "to acquaint the public with the service that aviation can offer in meeting humanitarian needs and to establish sectional units of the organization."
  The three women fliers who will accompany Miss Nichols are Miss Lee Ya-Ching, who will be second pilot; Jane Hyde of Portland, Me., a representative of the American Friends Society's Committee for European Relief, and Mercedes Ormston of New Rochelle. 
  Miss Nichols said the first stop would be Charlotte, N. C.  The group will attend the thirteenth annual all-American air manoeuvres at Miami, Fla., this week-end. The plane being used was donated to the group by Cornelius V. Whitney, chairman of the board of directors of Pan American Airways.
