PROCTOR, Circuit Judge
(dissenting).
The facts presented by appellant (plaintiff) on the motion for summary judgment ■do not, in my opinion, constitute circumstances beyond assured’s control preventing him from applying for a waiver of premiums; therefore the summary judgment in favor of the United States should be affirmed. However, I do not wish to be understood as agreeing with the trial judge’s view that mental incapacity is the only circumstance which might put it beyond an assured’s control to make timely application for waiver of premiums. It is conceivable that some physical obstacle, restraint, or disability might render it impossible for an assured to make timely application for waiver.
