      Glaude I. Parker, Esq., and Frank G. Butts, Esq., for the petitioner.
    
      A. Galder Maokay, Esq., for the Commissioner.
    This is an appeal from the determination of a deficiency of $5,095.-40 for the calendar year 1923.
    FINDINGS OF FACT.
    During the calendar year 1923, the petitioner was a resident and citizen of California, married and living with his wife. At the time required by law, the petitioner and his wife filed separate returns for the year involved, each reporting one-half of the income of the marital community for said year. The Commissioner held that the entire income belonged to the husband and increased the income as shown by his return by the amount reported by his wife, and computed the deficiency of $5,095.40.
