PER CURIAM.


The District of Columbia Tax Court affirmed the Assessor's appraisal of certain shares of stock owned by Arthur J. May at his death in 1950. The question for us to decide is whether the Tax Court was clearly wrong. District of Columbia v. Pace, 320 U.S. 698, 64 S. Ct. 406, 88 L. Ed. 408. We think it was not clearly wrong.

Affirmed.
