Before TUTTLE, Chief Judge, and MOORE* and BELL, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

1
The judgment of the Tax Court is affirmed. Petitioner's income received as a minister of the gospel is taxable. Dues paid the motor club were not dues to a professional society. The tires and roof leak damage did not qualify as casualty losses. There was a failure of proof with regard to sewage assessments being taxes and thus deductible, and the home repairs were mere personal expenses.

2
The appeal being without merit, it follows that the judgment appealed from should be and it is

3
Affirmed.
