Oxegonians to the indefinite future will be obligated to Lewis A. (Tarn) McArthur, who suc cubed to a prolonged illness in Portland Thursday. He was the first historian of Oregon geogra phy. His "Oregon Geographic Names" is the reliable and ready reference book listing and identi fying place names in Oregon: towns, lakes, rivers, mountains. Supplementing this were his numerous articles in the Oregon Historical Quarterly, particularly his series on early day Oregon postoffices. He was the long-time secretary, of the Oregon Geogra phic board and director and past president .of, the Oregon Historical society. . "Y;.- -.-' 1 McArthur could claim an In herited interest in Oregon. His lather was Judge L. H McArthur of Portland, and his mother, Har riet McArthur, was a daughter of James Nesmith, pioneer of 1843 and one-time senator and later corfgressman from Oregon. A bro ther, C. N. (Pat) "McArthur serv ed as congressman from the third district. ' - " McArthur was one of the noble band of volunteer historians who devote a great deal of their time in research and collection of his torical material. His special field was Oregon geograpny particular ly as man has marked it, giving . special names to its distinctive features. He was interested also in maoping one of his excel lent articles dealt with delineat ing . the southern boundary of Oregon. . . He was assisted in later years by his wife, the former Nellie . B. Pipes, who had been secretary of the state historical society, whom he married in 1946. Both were students of Oregon history and meticulous on accuracy in all de tails. The McArthur work of later years was really their joint pro duction. Crippling arthritis forced Mc Arthur to give up his executive position with Pacific power and Light company and the labor he loved most, tracing the geographic history of Oregon and keeping its nomenclature straight. There . is none to succeed him with the same capacity and interest Fortunately for Oregon the story of Oregon's geographic names was set down in great completeness and recog nized correctness-by. Tam McAr thur. That is his legacy for the Oregon he loved. . - Construction VehiclcSaid Escaping Taxes Much large motor vehicle equip ment used in construction opera tions is escaping taxation in Ore gon, it was expressed by members of the legislative highway interim committee at a meeting here Fri day. - Rep. Robert Boot, Medf ord, told the committee he had observed large equipment in use at the De , troit dam which carried no motor ' vehicle registration license. He said investigation. should be made to determine if this equipment is escaping taxation. Sen. Elmo Smith, committee chairman, said such equipment should be subjected to personal property tax by county assessors. Other committee members said they doubted1 if county assessors were including much of this and other motor vehicle - equipment on construction jobs on the per sonal property tax rolls. This is a matter of contacting assessors rather than enacting new laws," Smith averred. The com mittee will confer with officials of the county assessors association. Shutdown of logging operations in western Oregon was blamed for a small decrease in gasoline tax collections during the first three months of the 1951-53 biennium. No action was taken by the committee in connection with a proposal to combine all of the Oregon's road use revenue func tions into a new department 'These would include such divi- sions as gasoline tax and motor vehicle registration, now under the secretary of state, and motor transportation, under the public utilities, commissioner. - Committee members said they wanted more information : before considering this proposal.

Blakeslee " , Associated Press Science Editor ' SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 9 -Wh Our guided missiles are going to become ocean-hopping passenger ships; They will, be the express ships of the air, and bring Ameri ca and Europe within one or two hours flight. ; This prediction I was in a sum mary of the probabilities of man's flight into interplanetary space given! at the closing session today of the U. S. air force symposium on physics and medicine of the upper atmosphere. Dr. Heinz Ha br of the school of aviation medi cine gave the report. , ' He said the United States pro gram! of guided missile research and development . is extensive. Some: day these missiles will be fitted with wings suitable for gliding and landing. This will be the express ship. It will rise with rocket power, perhaps to 20 miles altitude. There it will turn Its nose toward a dis tant continent, shut off the power and glide the rest of the way at supersonic speeds. The glide will carry! thousands of miles. Dr. Ha ber named this ship the iono- cruiser. He said the V-2 type of rocket. that bombarded London and that rises i higher than one hundred miles, can eventually carry men witn saiety. The present V-2 has a thrust the rocket word for horsepower of 20 tons. Dr. Haber said the plans already are made for raising this power to 200 tons.

Britain is too near broke to buy enough ' of the food available in the world to build up the supplies, he declared. , Lloyd-George said government stocks of wheat, flour, sugar, but ter; margarine and other fats excluding amounts "set aside for strategical 'purposes" were well below the dangerously low level they reached in 1941. ; ' He did not explain what he meant by strategical- purposes or disclose the amounts of food thus set aside. - The chancellor of the exchequer, R.
