PER CURIAM.
This is an appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York rejecting appellant’s claim for certain tax refunds. The issue and the facts are well stated in the opinion of the court below. 139 F.Supp. 883. Although the case is a close one, we cannot say the District Court improperly refused to upset the administrator’s determination that the applicators were “employees” within the statutory scheme. United States v. Silk, 331 U.S. 704, 67 S.Ct. 1463, 91 L.Ed. 1757; Bartels v. Birmingham, 332 U.S. 126, 67 S.Ct. 1547, 91 L.Ed. 1947; Ringling Bros.-Barnum & Bailey Com. Shows v. Higgins, 2 Cir., 189 F.2d 865; Westover v. Stockholders Pub. Co., 9 Cir., 237 F.2d 948.
