Science Writer to
Be on OU Campus
Eugene One ol the fore
most authorities in the field
of science writing will be the
first in a series of visiting lec
turers to appear at the Uni-,
versify of Oregon's school of
Journalism as part of its gold
en anniversary observance.
Hillicr Krieghbaum, chair
man of the department of

versity, and a former member
of the UO school of journalism
faculty, will be on the univer
sity campus Dec. 4-6.
During the first two days
of his visit, Krieghbaum will
be addressing classes, and sit
timt in on seminars.
On Dec. 6. an assembly is
planned in which Krieghbaum
will elaborate on science writ
Ins His talk will be held In
the Erb Memorial Student Un

ested persons.
Krieghbaum has recently
returned from "".bile where he
attended the first Internation

Marine Fuel Taxes May Finance Boat Facilities in State
Measures that would use
unrefunded marine fuel taxes
to finance the expansion of
recreational boating facilities,
including launching ramps,
moorages and channel devel
opments, will be submitted to
the li)S3 legislature by the
state marine board.
Drafts of two bills were
made public Wednesday In
Medford by Marine Board Di
rector Robert F. Rittenhuuse,
Salem, at the close of a meet
ing attended by some 25 local
boating enthusiasts.
Would Mak. Loam
The proposals have already
received the endorsement of
a number of organizations in
cluding the Association of
Oregon Counties, rtitlcnhnusc
said.
Both measures would au
thorize the Marine board to
make loans or grants to state
agencies, counties and public
corporations to aid in con
struction and development of
boating facilities.
One bill calls for all the
marine fuel taxes, except
those refunded to the few
boaters who request them, to
be used for this purpose. The
other, an alternate, would pro
vide the Marine board with
525,000 monthly from the
taxes collected and credited
Ho a boat facility-building ac-
count.
The Marine board said a
previous survey pointed out
that launching ramps, moor
ages and other boating facili
ties throughout the state al
ready arc inadequate - and
the problem will be com
pounded by anticipated in
creases in population and boat
use.
About $369,000 in taxes
were paid on gasoline used in
pleasure boats during 1960
and, presumably, $300,000 of
this would be available for
public boating facilities if the
proposed legislation is approved.

Virus Infection Problem Solved by Heating Tree
Corvallis Putting a fruit
tree in an "oven" and "bak
ing' it at an even tempera
ture for several days is one
way of solving the problem
of virus infections which rob
trees of vitality and cut down
yields.
This is one way of explaining
the heat treatment for virus
elimination described by Dr.
J. A. Milbrath, Oregon State
university plant pathologist,
to apple and pear growers
Wednesday at the Oregon
State Horticultural Society's
annual meeting on the OSU
campus.
Virus infections, which slow
down tree growth and which
may cut truil yields by as
much as 20 per cent, have
long been a problem not only
to the fruit industry, but also
to nurserymen producing or
namental shrubs. Virus free
stock is nearly Impossible to
find in some varieties.
Carry Latent Infection
Clones, or cuttings, often
carry latent infections in
them which do not appear un
til a susceptible plant is inocu
lated. When this happens,
normal appearing trees slow
down in growth and reduce
yields under the onslaught of
the parasitic virus attack.
Heat treatment "is a major
breakthrough in virus studies
which allow us to obtain virus
free clones from varieties
which have become uniformly
infected with virus," he de
clared. Heat treatment allows the
scientist or propagator to take

How to travel in luxury without really flying
The new '63 Chevrolet has captured the silence
and effortless ease of jet flight and translated
it to highway travel. Every new Chevrolet,
whether it's a luxury Impala, a low-priced Bel
Air or a Biscayne, now has self-adjusting
brakes, a Dclcotron generator to extend hair
tery life, and the ingenious new flush-and-dry
system that lakes air and rain water from the
cowl and rinses corrosive elements out of the
rorker panels where rust usually begins. A test
drive will amaze you. The suspension, with coil
springs at all four wheels, treats back roads,
car tracks, gravel as though they were billiard
lablc smooth. The engine whisks you away
from trallic lights or steps safely out to pass
slower cars without once intruding on your
privacy. When you're driving a Chevrolet, you
don't take a back seat to anyone!

healthier tree that will make

ist. It also provides a measure
of protection for trees not al
ready infected.
Yean of Reitarch
Development of the heat
remedy comes after years of
research by plant pathologist
which started in 1936 when
it was found that virus could
be made inactive by exposure
of plants to high tempera
tures, which also killed plant
tissues. In 1941, the first plant
so treated survived after 14
days of treatment.
This was a major break
through and refined methods,
mostly perfected on straw
berry plants, have now led to
the current treatment. Much
of the recent work has been
done under a Western Region
al project agreement, head
quartered In California, with
OSU cooperating.
The heat procedure Is to
expose living plants to con
tinuous temperature of 99 de
grees, plus or minus one de
gree, for 14 or more days.
The dormant buds or actively
growing terminal shoots are
than propagated on clean root-stocks.

COURTESY CHEVROLET
Buds that survive and grow
are then passed through an
index procedure to detect any
living virus. Virus free plants
are then maintained to be
come the basis for further
propagation. All this takes
four to five years.
The heat treatment at OSU
is given in specially built cab
inets which provide light, hu
midity and carefully controll
ed temperature within a de
gree of that desired. The cab
inets are simple, but effective,
while those used at other in
stitutions may cost several
thousand dollars.
