               operation from X, Inc. to Y, Inc., gave rise to a                      
               taxable liquidating dividend from X, Inc., to P.  R

                    2.  Held, further, the transfer of the club’s                     
               operation from X, Inc., to Y, Inc., constituted a tax-

               Schedule C deductions for parking fees and for bad                     
               debts is sustained.                                                    
                    4.  Held, further, R’s penalty against P is                       
               sustained with respect to the deficiencies arising out                 
               of the disallowances of P’s Schedule C deductions.
