The opinion

RUDKIN, Circuit Judge

(concurring). The amount involved in this case must be paid at some time, to somebody. The only question is whether it should be paid now, or at the end of the period prescribed by the terms of the policy. For this reason, the case *737 is trifling so far as the government is concerned, except for the principle involved. I entertain very grave doubts whether a person earning from $125 to $250 per month, and expenses, as a traveling salesman, is totally and permanently disabled within the meaning of the law. He certainly would not seem to be as a matter of fact.

However, giving the defendant in error the benefit of such doubts as I entertain, I concur in the result.
