Arthur P. Miller, 78, a retired officer of the U.S. Public Health Service died Saturday at the Bethesda Naval Medical Center.

He had retired as program officer in the office of the chief of the bureau of state services of USPHS in 1960 after 40 years of service as a sanitary engineer.

Born in Steelton, Pa., Mr. Miller received degrees in sanitary engineering and civil engineering from Pennsylvania State College.

He served in France with the 312th Field Artillery, 79th Division in World War I. He joined the Public Health Service as a civil service employee in 1920 and was commissioned in the regular corps in 1930. He held the rank of captain.

While the major part of Mr. Miller’s career had been spent at Public Health Service headquarters in Washington, he also had served in many other parts of the country.

He conducted investigations of water supplies in Tennessee in connection with outbreaks of typhoid fever, was chief engineer of the Kentucky State Board of Health in Louisville and conducted stream pollution studies in Cincinnati.

Mr. Miller also worked with districts in San Francisco and during three years in California was involved in the design, construction and operation of sanitary works in Yellowstone, Glacier, Rocky Mountain and Yosemite National Parks.

During World War II, he directed the development of new sanitation programs for 5,500 ships of the U.S. Merchant Marine and also trained Coast Guard personnel to carry out ship sanitation programs.

At headquarters in Washington, Miller served as engineer in charge of Interstate Sanitary District 2, handling water, vessel and shellfish investigations and sanitation surveys. He helped plan the training of young sanitary engineers.

He was the author or co-author of about 100 publications in the engineering field and had served as executive editor of “Public Health Reports.”

Mr. Miller was a member of the American Health Association, serving on its governing council and editorial board for many years.
