Denied the cooperation OF the
Pentagon. the pictures military
equipment is dramatically linn
tied. 1t is confined to a couple
of jeeps, guns for platoon and
some hand grenades. With these,
however, Director Anthony
Manns handful of soldiers blasts
aside any illusion that war is less
than He'll.
Behind the bearded, ashen
faces on the small black and
white screen, courage is disclosed
as a logged reflex and survival
a hunger that fires men to deS-
peration. In it's absence of pre-
tense, Men in War" is free from
the one that this is the total
truth about combat. OF the truth
with which it deals. however. its
terms are remorseless candor,
the effect of this gripping drama.
Based upon Van Van Praag's
novel. Combat. Sidney Har-
mons production is lean and

now almost certainly a mean
ingless remnant of a plan that
has failed. Ryan and his men
at least have a purpose in what
seems to be the last minutes OF
their life. 1t is a purpose that
could not look more futile and
foolhardy. Nevertheless. it pro-
vides them with something to
do, a last test of a sense OF
duty, a way to die in action II
death is the only way out.
The forlorn task is both COM
plicated and encouraged by the
arrival from nowhere of an OBJ
sessed sergeant (Ray), whose
one purpose is to get away from
the area with battle-paralyzed
colonel. In need of vehicle OF
some kind to carry munitions.
Ryan impounds the jeep and
its passengers. and resumes the
march toward the hopeless OBJ
jective.
While following faithfully the
tactical details of the project,
Director Mann is equally con-
cerned with the behaviour OF

men. There are naturally re-
semblances between these and
similar characters in other films.
but Director Mann is bent upon
emphasizing not these but the
differences.
This comes of definitely to
the advantage of Men in War, !"
especially in the cases of Ryan
and Ray. The former is a junior
officer with an intelligent aware
ness of the probable folly of his
every action but bent upon
carrying out his task no matter
if the war has ended elsewhere.

improved land. However. there
Is q variety Of factors used in
the assessment process and, In
practice. unimproved land Is
being assessed at around rs per
cent Of estimated market value.
The reduction, Mr.. Allen said,
is IN part an adjustment to
take into account fluctuations
in the land market.
The tracts present assessed
valuation Of $97.72O is listed as
the 1856 levy year assessment.
The land was not reassessed
after May /. 1856. for the 1857
tax year because. Mr.. Allen
said. the 1856 assessment was
not finally determined until
July 5. 1857.
Mr.. Fig and his attorneys APP
pealed the 1856 assessment in
County Tax Appeal Court.
Fifteen months elapsed between
the placing of the appeal and
the tax courts final notice in
July. 1857.
Mr.. Allen said II would have
been absurd to reassess the
land while the matter was still
pending" He added that his
division cannot reassess prop
erty after the tax books are
closed on May l of each year.
Legal Controversy
Besides the extended assess
ment dispute in the County
Tax Appeal Court. there was
another legal controversy over
the tract-involving its coming
status.
On December 20. 1855, the
County Council rezoned the
property to ca commercial
status with two council MEM
bers dissenting. Prior TO the
action. the land was zoned
mostly for high-density apart
ment use with a smaller por-
ton classified as residential
land.
The councils action, how
ever. was appealed in County
Circuit Court by the Woodsid
Park Civic Association. This
legal protest was first fled in
March. 1856. and has not yet
been finally settled. After the
County Circuit Court upheld
the councils commercial zon-
ing. the civic group brought its
protest to the Maryland Court
Of Appeals. where arguments
are to be heard later this
month.
During the assessment con-
troversy. it was the contention

County assessors say that

augment its value, nor does
the lack Of commercial coming
necessarily depress its value.
Zoning. Mr.. Allen said, is only
one Of several factors used in
the assessment process.
Sees Assessment Rise
The county supervisor of as
sessments. looking ahead to a
possible 1858 reassessment Of
the Fig tract. said that recent
estimates Of its market value
would have q definite bearing
on the assessment, despite the
coming uncertainty.
Allowing reductions for the
cloudy coming classification. Mr..
Allen informally calculated that
the property might now be as
sessed at around $3.50. 900. This
figure he based on his own
$478.000 appraisal.
The 1856 levy. which was
protested in April, 1856, was
based on a 81 per square foot
assessed valuation OF the land.
The tax appeal court held It's
FIRST hearing in the case on
october 10. 1866. The hearing
was not concluded then, but
resumed on March rs, 1857.
During the interim. a tax court
spokesman said. a complicated
resurvey and reparceling OF the
property was conducted.
According TO Mr.. Allen. the

John B. Cullen. left the orig
inal 1856 assessment virtually
unchanged.
Mr.. Fig told The Star the

for the land would net
him a slight profit. The prop
erty was purchased in 1850 and
1854 for a total Of about $685.
600. In addition TO the initial
outlay. Mr.. Fig said the land
cost another $145.000 in in
terest charges. legal fees, en-
cheering costs and other
similar expenses. bringing the
total to about $4,000.
