Pendleton, former chief topographic engineer of the Geological Survey, died on May 28, 1954, at his home in Bethesda, Md., after a long illness. Born in Nicolaus, Calif., Mr. Pendleton joined the Survey in 1905 as a rodman after he graduated from the University of California. From 1909 to 1917, he mapped many areas in the western United States. In 1918, he was commissioned in the United States Army Engineers and worked on the development of aerial photographic techniques, including the 3-lens mapping camera. After the war, he rejoined the Survey and used the panoramic camera to map a part of Mount McKinley National Park in Alaska for the Geological Survey. In 1920 he was furloughed for a special mapping assignment in Turkey and on his return was appointed the first chief of the newlyformed Section of Photo-mapping in the Survey. A year later he took leave again to do work in Palestine and the Balkan states. From 1926 to 1934, he was chief engineer for private mapping firms in Philadelphia and New York. In 1934 he rejoined the Survey and directed a Tennessee Valley Authority mapping project on which about 500 engineers were employed. Later he directed tests which resulted in the improvement of the multiplex, an instrument for the projection of aerial photographs in mapmaking which is in wide use today. He was made chief topographic engineer of the Survey in 1943. A year after his retirement he was awarded one of the first gold medals given by the Interior Department for distinguished service. Mr. Pendleton was a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, The American Geographical Society, the American Society of Photogrammetry, the Canadian Institute of Surveying, the Washington Academy of Sciences, the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping, the American Legion, the Masonic Lodge of Arbuckle, Calif., the Explorers Club, the Cosmos Club, and Tau Beta Phi. In 1942, Mr. Pendleton served as President of the American Society of Photogrammetry and was subsequently elected an Honorary Member of the organization. He was the author of numerous technical articles on mapping and in 1944 represented the United States at a Pan American conference on geography and cartography in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Survivors are his widow, the former Florence H. Beel; a son, Thomas A. Pendleton, of Chevy Chase; a sister, Miss Hazel Pendleton, of Sacramento, Calif.; and a granddaughter. KEITH Keith Roberts, a Wisconsin member of ACSM, died March 16, 1954, at Asheville, N. C., where he was vacationing. Born in Chicago, Ill., on August 31, 1889, Mr. Roberts was graduated from the Colorado College of Mines with a degree of Engineer of Mines. After graduation, he served as mining engineer in California and Montana and on oil field development work in Kansas. He was also manager of gold mines in Alaska. During World War I, he served as ensign in the Navy. For ten years, Mr. Roberts was secretarytreasurer of the Charles H. Roberts Co., consulting municipal engineers of Chicago. During ROBERTS World War II he returned to Alaska as resident engineer for CAA, and was field agent for the land division of Alaska Native Service in 1945-46. He served the past seven years as a surveyor and for four years was County Surveyor of Menominee County, Mich. Besides ACSM, Mr. Roberts was a member of the Masonic Lodge, American Institute of Mining Engineers, Michigan Society of Registered Land Surveyors, Wisconsin Society of Land Surveyors, Rotary, and Adventurers Club of Chicago. He was also active in Boy Scout work. Mr. Roberts is survived by his wife and three children. ૪.૪ ૪ Michael Baker, Jr., Wins Honors ACSM member Michael Baker, Jr., has been appointed to the Pennsylvania State Board for the Registration of Professional Engineers. Head of the engineering firm bearing his name, of Rochester, Pa., Mr. Baker was one of the 10 winners of the 1954 Horatio Alger awards, an honor given for achievement to men whose careers best typify the American rise to the top From humble beginnings by earnest and honest effort-and faith, vision, and humility. The lat ter points are brought out vividly in Mr. Baker's story "This Is My Formula for Success" printed in the July 18, 1954, issue of Parade, the Sunday newspaper supplement picture magazine, in which he says, "If I could give the youth of America some legacy to help them find real success in the years ahead, I would give them a full measure of faith and humility." Congratulations, Michael Baker, Jr.; ACSM is proud of you. -WALTER S. DIX NEW MEMBERS INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIPS ALEXANDER, Mrs. Jeanne R., 1426 21st St., NW., Washington, D.
