Syllabus
1. A taxpayer who kept his books on the accrual basis deducted on his income tax returns for 1937 state taxes assessed against him during the taxable year.

Held that, under the Revenue Act of 1936, the deduction was properly disallowed. P. 320 U. S. 519.
2. The Board of Tax Appeals applied the correct rule of law in this case, and the court below properly refused to disturb its determination. Dobson v. Commissioner, ante, p. 320 U. S. 489. P. 320 U. S. 519.

Certiorari, post, p. 720, to review the affirmance of a decision of the Board of Tax Appeals, 45 B.T.A. 286, which sustained the Commissioner's determination of a tax deficiency.
