Raymond F. Garrity, Washington, D. C. (Garrity, Ferguson & Phillipps, Carl A. Phillipps, Washington, D. C., on brief), for petitioners.

Edward Pesin, Newark, N. J., for S. Arthur Stern, filed a brief as amicus curiae.

Before FRIENDLY, KAUFMAN and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


We affirm the judgment of the Tax Court on the opinion of Judge Fay. Although the Commissioner might well have taken a more lenient view on the facts here presented, it is plain that the petitioners did not comply with requirements on which the Commissioner was entitled to insist.
