                          KATHERINE A. WEIR, Petitioner v.

               her right to payments under his military pension.                      
                    1.  Held:  Incident to P’s divorce from her                       
               ex-husband, P received as her separate property an                     
               interest in ex-husband’s military pension, and payments                
               by ex-husband to her pursuant to agreement were gross                  
               income to her pursuant to sec. 61(a)(11), I.R.C.                       
                    2.  Held, further, P is liable for an addition to                 
               tax under sec. 6651(a), I.R.C., and a penalty under                    
               sec. 6662(a), I.R.C.
