          points in another direction, in this case we agree with the                 
          Commissioner that it is appropriate to use an analogy to our                
          long-followed procedure in deficiency cases.  That procedure, as            
          described in Nordstrom v. Commissioner, 50 T.C. 30, 32 (1968), is           
          to file an order requiring both parties                                     
                    to furnish the Tax Court, insofar as                              
                    ascertainable and to the best of their                            
                    abilities, the names and addresses of the                         
                    heirs at law of the decedent, under the law                       
                    of the jurisdiction wherein the decedent was                      
                    a resident when his death occurred                                
          and for the Court to then notify the heirs.  Id.                            
               We think this is the most reasonable procedure in the                  
          absence of a statute or regulation providing differently.  To               
          enable the parties to search for heirs, this case will be                   
          continued,                                                                  
                                             And an appropriate order will            
                                         be issued.
