VA REORGANIZES

Last week, the long awaited
shake-up of the VA organizational
structure occurred, but it wasn't as
revolutionary as some observers had
expected. For months prior to Ad-
ministrator Carl Gray's announce
nent to the press, it was rumored
that Cd all thirteen branch offices
would be closed, 90 the thirteen
branches would be consolidated into
a smaller number, with the Seattle
office retained or eliminated, and
20 so on and so forth ANY veteran
familiar with rumors liz the Army
Or in relocation centers knows how
it goes AS usual, rumor turned out
70 be far from the truth.
Under the reorganization plan
announced last week by the VA
head, the branch offices were re-
tanned, but shorn of their supervi-
sorry functions over the state region
al offices and hospitals. Supervision
from now on will be handled from
Washington, D c., with the main
work of the branches to be concen-
trated ON insurance and death
claims, which will be handled as

If evacuation did not force me to

A III view of the fact that there
was a capital gains tax apparently
YOU made a profit on the sale OF
YOUR chicken flocks. If the sales
price was less than the reasonable
value of the chickens you might re-
cover the difference. It probably
will be very difficult to recover the
tex because the tax would be due
upon any profitable sale of tht
chickens, with or without the evacu-
alton. The only way the tax might
be recovered indirectly would be te
argue that you are entitled to re.
cover the difference between the
full reasonable value of the chicken.
at the time of sale and the net salt
price actually received which was tn,
sales price received by you less thai
part of the price which you paid il

2. Q. Can I use the price I had
to pay for the chickens in order
to start my flocks again in calcu-
lating the loss? Is 1t correct to use
