tFTOW MIS-. w. Il. D.S DuUci
Spring.
Mrs. NJ. c., Arlington: I would
indeed put a question mark after
Los Angeles as a place to find re-
lief from sinus trouble. My hus-
band and I, having been recently
transferred here from Los An
geleS, find our sinus almost COM
pletely cleared up and we were
constant sufferers from it during
our seven years in Los Angeles.
In fact. my eye, ear. nose and
throat specialist said that my
trouble was caused by the smog
in Los Angeles.
Unfortunately, there is no part
of Los Angeles which is free from
smog. Smog, if you mean smoke
plus fog, is a misnomer when used
to refer to the deadly chemical
fumes which plague Los Angeles
and the vicinity. 1t is not neces-
Isary to have fog in order to have
Los AngeleS-type smog. You will
find it present on the hottest days
(and the mercury does climb to
108 degrees or more) and you find
it all during the winter. Only
rainy days and very windy days
are smog-free days, and they are
rare.
During the winter the tempera-
ture frequently dips to freezing at
might, although it warns UP con-
|siderably during the day. We are
enjoying our first comfortable
winter in many years, for Cali
fornia homes seldom have central
heating, they are drafty and are
never weather stripped. So, when
lit Is cold you hover over little
gas heater and are seldom very
warm. Some winters, in contrast,
are extremely hot and dry, as was
last winter. This year they have
had terrible transforms and floods
in many sections.
Each section Of the vast Los An
geles area has a little different
climate. II Mrs. M. c. would like
more definite information about
these I would be happy to de-
scribe them If she will write me
through RICH.
Mrs. L. ]. O., Bethesda: I should
think that wallpaper paste would
work very well on the maps with
which you plan to decorate your
sons room with. My husband says
they use a plastic spray which be-
gins with the letter K and ends
with N to preserve the maps. 1t
dries in a few seconds and causes
no discoloration whatever.

lawmakers and Bod Drivers

Seeing the black bordered stigma,
II am a Jaywalker," appearing in The
Star, October 16, reminds me that in
some Midwestern States the law pro-
vides that traffic lights are designed
solely for control of vehicular traffic.
AS a result, the killing or injury Of Pc
destrians by motorists is quite rare in
these States.
The writer has observed and driven
in traffic in many cities in the various
States and unquestionably the lack of
courtesy or common decency of the av-
erage motorist toward pedestrians in
the District of Columbia is worse than
elsewhere. I am convinced that this Is
due primarily to the attitude shown by
the District Government as reflected
by the traffic officers.
Permit me to suggest, instead OF dis
tributing these black bordered CARDS
titled Il am a Jaywalker," that traf-
fic officers be issued red stickers titled.
"I am a typical careless driver" and
be instructed to stick them on the wind
shield of each and every motorist
caught running red and yellow lights,
barging right or left into pedestrian
traffic, and who refuses to give the
right of way to pedestrians at inter-
sections where there are no traffic sig
nails or signs If this is done it will keep
the printer busy printing. and motor
lists busy scraping, for some time to
come.

questions as to whether there is statu-
tory authority for what is being done
ana whether the reaSSeSSments are ain
line" with the current market. Reassess-
ments considerably lower would also
nave statutory authority. The simple
TACT is that real estate in practically
every city and State in the country,
including the District of Columbia. has
not been assessed at 100 per cent of
current price levels for some years. This
has also been the case in MARYLAND and
was approved as permissible under
Maryland's full cash value" statute by
the Maryland Court of Appeals in jan
uary, 1850. Furthermore, this standard
was re-enacted in 1851 and 1852 by the
General Assembly Of Maryland which
thereby adopted the administrative in
depreciation approved by the Court of
Appeals. =
The basic question: then, is one of ad-
mlnlstrative and public policy as to
where the reassessment levels should be
set in relationship to current market
prices.
There is no connection between the
recommended reassessments and the fl
nanclal needs of the county. The re-
assessments are being made solely be-
cause the Metropolitan District of Mont
gomery County comes up for reassess-
ment effective July l, 1853 in the fifth
year OF the five-year rotational plan
which was first effective on July /, 1914.
Concerning Mr.. Thompson's conclu-
sion that total taxes will probably" re-
main higher on comparable property
IN the District of Columbia, the answer
is that it just isn't so. for comparable
property in the Northwest area of the
District of Columbia and lower Mont
gomery County. don't know whether
there will be much" emigration but

Now that the dry season has returned to

screaming "human-sea" attacks, they have al

Of Hanoi.
Although the French have imposed censor

his Reds have an ambitious offensive in mind
one backed with modern artillery and other arms
supplied by Soviet Russia and Communist China.
There have been several such offensives through
out the six-year-old war, and each of them has
been stopped and broken, but never decisively
Hos troops, even after heavy defeats, have always
managed to reorganize and strike back-a fact
that has cost France vast amount of blood and
treasure.
The probability is that the French and Wet

enemy, but there is nothing in sight that holds
out even the promise of an early victory decisive
enough to end the struggle. AS long as the Com

Montgomery Reossessments

In the Sunday Star of October 10,
under the heading METROPOLITAN
Scene" John w. Thompson, jr., sum-
marily disposes Of the problem of the
reassessments in lower Montgomery
County as merely a blunder in public
relations caused by county officials
springing the bombshell without notice
or adequate explanation.
Mr.. Thompson says that the revalua-
tions are not "out of line" with the
current market, that the total tax to
be paid on comparable properties prob
ably will remain higher" in the District
OF Columbia and that there is no doubt
OF the legal authority for the reassess-
ments. He also concludes that the storm
will blow over and that civic blood pres
sure will subside without much emigra-
tion from Montgomery to lower-tax
havens.
To many of us subject to the reasSess-
ments, the problem is considerably more
complicated and troublesome than it is
for Mr.. Thompson. The proper solution
