These consolidated causes came on to be heard on the record and on the briefs and oral arguments of attorneys for the contending parties;

And it appearing from the Tax Court's findings of fact, supported by substantial evidence and not clearly erroneous, and its application to the facts found of the principle of Arrowsmith v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, 344 U.S. 6, 73 S.Ct. 71, 97 L.Ed. 6, that the holding of the Tax Court is correct;

The decision in each of the four consolidated cases is affirmed for the reasons stated in the opinion of the Tax Court. 27 T.C. 406.
