Lieut. Nils Olaf Melin of the royal Norwegian airforce and Sgt. Andreas (second name cen sored), also of the Norwegian airforce, were overnight visitors in Medford last night, breaking an air trip from San Francisco to Portland. The two young fliers are making a good-will tour under the auspice, of "Wings for Norway, Inc." Lieut. Melin, spokesman for the two, explained that his com panion, who Is piloting a Swed ish training plane, had escaped from Norway but a year ago and that his last name is a military secret necessitating the use of but his first name. Rail Funds rr-1 . x . 1 A ine purpuse ui me wur is lu raise funds among Swedish American people for training planes to be used at the train ing school in Toronto, Canada. Lieut. Melin explained that the tour has the permission of the state department and that a total of 35 cities will be visited. Medford was not on the official list of cities to be visited but the two, making the trip in the slow trainer, were taken with the appearance of the city from the air and decided to stop over night. "We 'dived' on a couple of swimming pools we noticed from the air," Lieut. Melin said "and they looked so refreshing and the countryside was so beautiful we decided to come down. Lieut: Melin would say little concerning the war, merely re marking that "there is nothing pleasant to say." He said that the drive which they were con ducting for funds had met with a wonderful response in all the cities visited. Lieut. Melin has been on this continent for al most seven years and the pilot but a few months. Sgt. Andreas Is native of Oslo and but 22 years of age. Both men were in uniform and made an ex ceedingly striking appearance.

Some of the Lexington's crew stayed in southern waters fort additional duty but the most were brought home by trans-, port. On being asked what was his greatest thrill he said that it was seeing Lt.
