Veterans Reminded
To Repay VA

Servicemen who have asked. or
will ask. the Veterans Admins
tration to pay premiums on their
commercial insurance under q
1912 law must pay back to the
VA the sum of those premiums
That was an official reminder
from the VA today. Administers
ton spokesman said many men
who were drafted in 1910 and
after were not paid enough to
retain their commercial insur-
ance. So the VA agreed to pay
the premiums.
Later. the VA asked for repay
ment. but servicemen demurred.
In a test case. the Supreme Court
ruled the repayment unnecessary.
This is not true. however, of
servicemen who came under a
change in the law in 1912. All
these persons must repay, the
VA said.

peg me for being a pretty in
decisive fellow"
This is going on all over the
country. am glad that patients
are not rising UP against their
doctors and blaming them for
the confusion that exists. I think
one patient explained it well
when he said: THE doctors GER
tainly don't seem to have the
answers right now-but you've
got to hand 1t to them. They're
certainly on the ball. They're
trying one theory after another.
And one of these days they'll
have the answer"
When people ask me exactly
how I feel about these various
diet theories in the management
of apprehension, arterioSclerosis
and coronary disease. I tell them
that the solution is not yet here,
but that ! am confident that one
day - and relatively soon - we
will have the answer. Not now.
Attain Normal Weight
For years I have told patients
that what was important was
loss Of weight until the normal
was reached. I told them that
cholesterol would take care Of
itself until such time as we
knew more about it. And I also
stressed that. once having lost,
the patient should under no cir
cumstances go on a weight-gain-
ing hinge again. In observing
patients over the years l had
noticed that those who made
wide swings in weight did worse
than those who held the weight
line.

Are you In a dilemma? Fat
or thin are you frustrated about
how diet is affecting your blood
pressure? Are you ready to
throw in the sponge and eat
Everything? Then perhaps I can
straighten you out.
When I first began to practice
over rs years ago the people
in the United States were not
diet-conscious. They were only
interested in the special diets
If they had diabetes.
Obesity was not the dirty
word" it is today. Jokes were
made about the fat man as being
the happy-go-lucky man. He
was not looked upon-as he is
today-as a potential menace to
himself.
AS l recall 1t there were no
special diets for high blood pres
sure and coronary disease. Low
sodium diets such as the rice
diet and others were not yet a
prominent part Of the national
scene.
And feeding the coronary pa
|tient? We may have told him
to take of some weight--but we
didn't care how he did it. In
other words, we were not full
of theories about cholesterol-
high foods and saturated and
non-saturated fatty acids. The
truth is we had all we could do
to make the diagnosis Of coro-
nary thrombosis in those days.
Few doctors and electrocardio-
graph machines and fewer could
read the tracings correctly.
/ Things Different Now
I But today things are different
and confusing-to both doctor
and his patient. We are being
bombarded daily by new theories
and new diets in the manage
ment of apprehension and coro-
nary disease.
/ Last night an intelligent lay
man said to me: I'm on a mer-
Iry-go-round. I try to cooperate
since I've been told my pres
sure's high. but I get all mixed
up. About two months ago my
doctor was all excited about
Icholesterol intake. He warned me
against fats of all kinds in addi-
ton to keeping me of salt. But
yesterday he said: Forget what
I said about the cholesterols. It's
not so much the cholesterols as
the kind Of cholesterols you eat.
| You can take the non-saturatsd
oils; but be sure to stay away
from the saturated oils"
j Then the patient continued:
Now / ask you. doctor. What's
the modern patient to do? II the
doctors are mixed up about 1t

assessments generally run be-
tween 40 and SIS per cent Of
sale price averages. AS a matter
of practical need. local assess
|ment boards are usually given
considerable leeway by the
courts in the way they arrive at
their assessments.
Supreme Court View
There are certain basic con-
cepts Of good assessment prac-
tice. however. THE value of
property" the United States Su-
preme Court has said, results
from the use to which it can
be put and varies with the prof.
itableness Of that use, present
and prospective, actual and an
ticipated."

board says it bases its appraisals
on construction costs, land
value. depreciation. rentals and
sales prices" 1t flgures-among
other things-what 1t would cost
to replace the structure with
one of similar usefulness today.
and what it would cost to acquire
a comparable piece of land.
Property owners dissatisfied
with the method Of determining
fair market value" or the tech
nique with which it is applied
can take their case to court. This
may not be happy alternative,
but 1t is q most important one.

u Whether or not Mrs. Weeks
! whose valuable 15-acre tract Of
Arlington land will now cost her
around 81 400 a year in taxes in

sof unreasonable reasSesSment
can perhaps be argued.
One realtor has pointed out
that the new evoluation of $685.
900 on the Weeks property is
still only 40 per cent of actual
value; that the full value accord
ing to county reasoning is now
about $4,000; and that since
residential lots in the widows
area are going for around $4,000
each. she might realize over
4330.000 If she were inclined TO
parcel it for sale. On the other
hand, this observation does not
take into account the very con-
siderable capital gains taxes
which would result-or the prac-
teal question of whether this
amount has been actually ten
dered.
q Two Facts Stand Out
But aside from the predica-
ment. pleasant or unpleasant. in
which the Arlington woman has
been placed. two facts stand out.
One is that Mrs. Weeks is by no
means alone in her kind OF
trouble. The other is that, unlike
the landed lord and vassal of
old. her problem arises out Of
the operation Of q fixed and
practicable law.
Virginia law. as wen as that
in Maryland. the District and
most other places. requires real
estate boards to make assess
ments for tax purposes at fair

varies with locale. but it does
