          $106,037.66, and $232,028.76 on his 1982, 1983, and 1984 returns,           
          respectively.  Respondent concedes $1,060.71 and $1,371.02 of               
          omitted income with respect to petitioner's 1982 and 1984                   
          returns, respectively.  Respondent also claims that petitioner              
          failed to report income that he received through Newtowne from              
          Saltergate I and Park Place in the amounts of $120,000 and                  
          $180,000 on his 1982 and 1984 returns, respectively. Respondent             
          bears the burden of proof with respect to these claimed increased           
          deficiencies.  Rule 142(a).                                                 
               Petitioner does not deny that he received the amounts as set           
          forth in the findings herein.  In any event, substantial evidence           
          was presented which leads us to the conclusion that petitioner              
          received the amounts of income claimed by respondent (as modified           
          by the Court).  Petitioner asserts that the payments from                   
          Newtowne originated with the partnerships and were either:  (1)             
          Repayments to petitioner of loans he made to the partnerships or            
          (2) nontaxable partnership withdrawals.                                     
               We addressed petitioner's arguments in our discussion                  
          regarding the unreported partnership fee income supra.  In                  
          holding that the payments petitioner received from the                      
          partnerships were income, we found that there was no evidence in            
          the record which indicates that the amounts were:  (1) Repayments
