PER CURIAM.
These petitions for review were argued jointly with the petitions in Goodstein v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, and Commissioner of Internal Revenue v. Goodstein, 1 Cir., 267 F.2d 127, and presented substantially the same questions. Consequently the decision of the Tax Court is affirmed on the basis of our opinion in the Goodstein cases decided today.
