   OPINION.

Smith:

The facts, except as to amount of compensation received, and question in issue in these proceedings are the same as in Robert G. Gordon, 5 B. T. A. 1047. The decision in that case is controlling. The compensation received was not exempt from income tax.

Judgments will be entered for the respondent.
