AUSTIN—Morel than 9,000 Tex-
as men and women were fatally
stricken last year by strokes. That
is one of the most ominous words
in the language today. Wha£ does
it really mean?
The medical term is “cerebral
vascular accident,” because it is
caused by cerebral vascular dis-
ease. The body’s cerebral vascular
system is the brain's network ot
bood vessels. Thus, cerebral vascu-
lar disease refers to diseases of
vessels in the brain.
Brain cells require a good blood
supply in order to work properly—
more so than most other body cells.
When something 'happens to that
blood supply, the brain itself is
impaired.
That something could be a hem-
morhage, thrombus, embolus, com-
pression or a spasm. Each one of
those key words is a major cause
of strokes.
A hemmohhage (bleeding) is the
result of a break in a brain artery
which allows blood to escape and
damage surrounding brain tissue.
This Scene Could Have Been Taken Here . .

Another name for strokes of this
type is “apoplexy.’
A thrombus is caused by a clot
of blood forming in a brain artery,
stopping the flow of blood to the
part of the brain it supplies. But
when a clot is formed in a dis-
eased heart or elsewhere in the
body and pumped to the brain to
plug an artery, it is called an
embolus.
A tumor, swollen brain tissue, or
i large clot in another vessel may
press upon a brain vessel to stop
compression. A spasm is caused
when a muscular artery constricts
or tightens up, reducing the flow of
blood to a particular brain area.
IMost strokes do not produce im-
mediate death. A large number of
victims live for many years. An
estimated two million people who
nave had strokes are alive in the
United States today—many of
them disabled because of it.
Present medical knowledge can
prevent some but not all strokes.
Certain conditions causing cerebral
vascular disease—high blood pres-
sure, for example—can often be
helped by modem treatment, and
-everal conditions associated with
blood clot formation respond to
anti-clotting drags. Too, blood ves-
sel defects with which some child-
ren are bom can now be corrected
by surgery.

Carla's Relations Willi Your income
Tax Given By District Director
COFFEE TIME—Even following a hurricane, a soldier needs a cup of
hot coffee and the Salvation Army was there to provide it. Shown
above, right, is Lt. Lamar Foreman pouring coffee for PFC Jerome
Cramr of Ganado, Te::as, a member of the 36th Division National
Guard following Hurricane Caila’s devastation in Edna, Texas. More
than 60 Salvation Army officers and 18 Disaster Mobile Canteens were
in the Gulf Coast area to provide relief for storm victims.
E. L. Phinney, District Director
of Internal Revenue in Austin said
tod y that, damages to property
caused by Hurricane Carla and re-
cent severe storms can result in in-
come tax deductions for 1961 and
in some instances may form the
basis for claims for refund of
taxes paid in prior years.
Phinney stated that the actual
property losses suffered from dam-
ages to dwellings, automobiles,
grounds, boats, furniture, and oth-
er business and nonbusiness prop-
erties are deductible on income tax
returns.
Two factors are important in
computing these casualty losses:
(1) The adjusted basis of the prop-
erty, and (2) the decrease in the
fair market value of the property
as a result of the casualty. The
adjusted basis of the property gen-
erally is its cost less depreciation.
Decrease in fair market value is
the difference between the value of
the property immediately before
and immediately after the casualty
The loss is determined by sub-
tracting the value immediately af-
ter the damage, before any repairs
are made, rtom the value immed-
iately before the casualty. The dif-
ference is the amount of the tax
deduction unless it is more than
the adjusted basis of the property.
In such case tihe tax loss is limit-
ed to the amount of the adjusted
basis of the property. Any insur-
ance or relief payments received
must also be subtracted to offset

the amount of the loss determiwwi;
under these rales.
The costs of repairing or ettarn-
ing up after the casualty arc .ac-
ceptable as evidence of ! the do-
crease in the value of the prwgarty
if (1) they are necessary to irasbmv
the property to its precasuallta >tan-
ciition, (2) the amount spiamt for
repairs is not excessive, (a) they
do no more than take rare (her
damage sustained, and (4S> the
value of the property after reywirs
is no more than its vatu* before
the casualty.
Expenses for personal iafsewes..
temporary lights, fuel, mating; or
rentals for temporary quart®*.ar* -
not allowable in computing the cas-
ualty loss deductions.
Phinney also advised that the
casualty losses suffmxd by man%
taxpayers in 1961 will exceed their
incomes for that year. These tax-
payers may have a net operating
loss, after making certain adjgat-
ments, which can bo earned buck
until absorbed to offset income for
the three preceding years and then
carried forward) to offset income in
each of the five years following
1961. Income tax refunds will fee
made in these instances, but claims
cannot be filed by calendar year
taxpayers until after December 51, .
1961.
Phinney urged property owners ,
to record evidence of losses as sons
as possible rather than waiting' un-
til the next filing period. Ap-
praisals made before and after
the damage, records showing the
costs of properties, depreciation
sustained, and insurance and dis-
aster relief recoveries are 3ome of
the important records that are nec-
essary to establish losses.
Property owners having exten-
sive losses or complicated tax prob-
lems should seek advice from the
Internal Revenue Service or com-
petent tax practitioners for details
in recording evidence of losses and
in preparing their tax return*.
Phinney also stated that tax-
payers may secure Internal Reve-
nue Service Document 5174, “How
the Federal Income Tax Applies to
Hurricanes, Floods, Tornadoes,
Other Disasters, Thefts and Con-
demnations,” by writing to Inter-
nal Revenue Service, 314 West lltfa
Street, Austin, Texas.
