                               UNITED STATES TAX COURT                                


               CHARLES H. DAVISON AND LESSIE B. DAVISON, Petitioners v.               
                    COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent                      


               Docket No. 15887-94.                  Filed August 26, 1996.           

                    W, a cash basis partnership, entered into an                      
               agreement in 1980 to borrow up to $29 million from J.                  
               J made an initial disbursement of $19,645,000.                         
               Pursuant to the loan agreement, J applied $227,647.22                  
               of the initial disbursement as a credit for interest W                 
               owed to J on a previous loan.  Pursuant to a subsequent                
               modification of the 1980 loan agreement, J agreed to                   
               advance $1,587,310.46 to W to enable W to satisfy its                  
               current interest obligation to J.  J made a wire                       
               transfer of $1,587,310.46 to W's bank account on Dec.                  
               30, 1980.  On Dec. 31, 1980, W made a wire transfer to                 
               J to satisfy W's current interest obligation.  The net                 
               effect of the Dec. 30-31 transaction was to increase                   
               the principal amount of W's loan from J by                             
               $1,587,310.46.  W claimed interest deductions of                       
               $227,647.22 and $1,587,310.46 and reported an ordinary                 
               loss on its partnership return for 1980.
