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.

Missiles May

' 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.
This power will permit us to
shoot: artificial -satellites -r small,
metallic, pencil-shaped moons
out into space. These satellites
will circle the earth, in or Bits the
same as heavenly bodies.

FouiifeSiora Sends $3,125' to faion County
An advance fund of $3,123 to
help care for Marion county polio
myelitis patients was received Fri
day, but the renewed outbreak of
recent weeks will require more
national aid, according to Mrs.

had been expected to. last through
November, but was just enough to
pay October bills. A request for
another $2,600 was filed. ;
Currently the county chapter is
caring in whole or in part for 11
of the 21 persons stricken with
polio this year, as well as 14 vic
tims stricken prior to last Janu

hospital with the disease, i

than ever before..
Mrs. Wright pointed out that
the 1951 March of Dimes raised
$16,337 in Marion county, of which
half stays here and half goes to
national headquarters for re
search, professional education and
emergency aid such as this ad
vance. This chapter's share was
exhausted by October 25. The

LONDON, Nov. 9-)-Winston
Churchill's conservative govern
ment disclosed today that Brit
ain's food cupboard is even barer
than it . was during, the U-boat
blockade days of 1941.- ; :
- The meager rations now doled
out each week - may have to be
cut still further, Food : Minister
Gwilym Lloyd-George warned the
house of commons.
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. A. Butler, told the commons
Wednesday ; that food imports
would have to be trimmed imme
diately by 160,000,000 ($448,
000,000) because of Britain's crit
ical financial situation.
The present British meat ration
is one shilling, seven pence (21
cents) worth a person per week.
This would be about two small
chops. And even this is to be cut
next Sunday to one shilling, five

Other rationed foods and
weekly allotments include:

Sugar ten ounces; tea two
ounces; cheese one and one-half

It was not at once determined
who found the plane, SSgt Rich
ard Bailey of McCord Field (who
said he would not lay claim to the

"I find nothing in his record

cerned,"' Mazey said, adding that
he was! speaking only: for himself.
At Cincinnati, Charles P. Taft
