(a)Under such regulations as the Secretary of the Department may prescribe, a member of the armed forces accused of an offense against civil authority may be delivered, upon request, to the civil authority for trial.

The officer who imposes the punishment, his successor in command, and superior authority shall have power to suspend, set aside, or remit any part or amount of the punishment and to restore all rights, privileges, and property affected.
(e)The imposition and enforcement of disciplinary punishment under authority of this article for any act or omission shall not be a bar to trial by court-martial for a serious crime or offense growing out of the same act or omission, and not properly punishable under this article; but the fact that a disciplinary punishment has been enforced may be shown by the accused upon trial, and when so shown shall be considered in determining the measure of punishment to be adjudged in the event of a finding of guilty.

Art. 62. Reconsideration and revision.

(b)Where there is an apparent error or omission in the record or where the record shows improper or inconsistent action by a court-martial with respect to a finding or sentence which can be rectified without material prejudice to the substantial rights of the accused, the convening authority may return the record to the court for appropriate action. In no case, however, may the record be returned—
(1)for reconsideration of a finding of not guilty of any specification or a ruling which amounts to a finding of not guilty; or
(2)for reconsideration of a finding of not guilty of any charge, unless the record shows a finding or guilty under a specification laid under that charge, which sufficiently alleges a violation of some article of this code; or
(3)for increasing the severity of the sentence unless the sentence prescribed for the offense is mandatory. Art. 63. Rehearings.
(a)If the convening authority disapproves the findings and sentence of a court-martial he may, except where there is lack of sufficient evidence in the record to support the findings, order a rehearing, in which case he shall state the reasons for disapproval. If he disapproves the findings and sentence and does not order a rehearing, he shall dismiss the charges.
(b)Every rehearing shall take place before a court-martial composed of members not members of the court-martial which first heard64 Stat. 128 the case. Upon such rehearing the accused shall not be tried for any offense of which he was found not guilty by the first court-martial, and no sentence in excess of or more severe than the original sentence shall be imposed unless the sentence is based upon a finding of guilty of an offense not considered upon the merits in the original proceedings or unless the sentence prescribed for the offense is mandatory.

If the sentence as approved by an officer exercising general court-martial jurisdiction includes a bad-conduct discharge, whether or not suspended, the record shall be forwarded to the appropriate Judge Advocate General to be reviewed by a board of review.
(c)All other special and summary court-martial records shall be reviewed by a judge advocate of the Army or Air Force, a law specialist of the Navy, or a law specialist or lawyer of the Coast Guard or Treasury Department and shall be transmitted and disposed of as the Secretary of the Department may prescribe by regulations. Art. 66. Review by the board of review.
(a)The Judge Advocate General of each of the armed forces shall constitute in his office one or more boards of review, each composed of not less than three officers or civilians, each of whom shall be a member of the bar of a Federal court or of the highest court of a State of the United States.

In considering the record it shall have authority to weigh the evidence, judge the credibility of witnesses, and determine controverted questions of fact, recognizing that the trial court saw and heard the witnesses.

(e)The Judge Advocate General shall, unless there is to be further action by the President or the Secretary of the Department or the Court of Military Appeals, instruct the convening authority to take action in accordance with the decision of the board of review. If the board of review has ordered a rehearing but the convening authority finds a rehearing impracticable, he may dismiss the charges.

(f)After it has acted on a case, the Court of Military Appeals may direct The Judge Advocate General to return the record to the board of review for further review in accordance with the decision of the court. Otherwise, unless there is to be further action by the President, or the Secretary of the Department, The Judge Advocate general shall instruct the convening authority to take action in accordance with that decision.

Art. 68. Branch offices. Whenever the President deems such action necessary, he may direct The Judge Advocate General to establish a branch office, under an Assistant Judge Advocate General, with any distant command, and to establish in such branch office one or more boards of review. Such Assistant Judge Advocate General and any such board of review shall be empowered to perform for that command, under the general supervision of The Judge Advocate General, the duties which The Judge Advocate General and a board of review in his office would otherwise be required to perform in respect of all cases involving sentences not requiring approval by the President. Art. 69. Review in the office of The Judge Advocate General.

If real property is acquired subject to a lease, the term of such lease shall be considered to begin on the date of such acquisition. No lease shall be considered a supplement U lease if
(A)such lease is entered into primarily for purposes which are substantially related (aside from the need of such organization for income or funds 64 Stat. 951 or the use it makes of the rents derived) to the exercise or performance by such organization of its charitable, educational, or other purpose or function constituting the basis for its exemption under section 101,*Post*, pp. 953, 956. or
(B)the lease is of premises in a building primarily designed for occupancy, and occupied, by the organization. If a lease for more than five years to a tenant is for only a portion of the real property, and space in the real property is rented during the taxable year under a lease for not more than five years to any other tenant of the organization, leases of the real property for more than five years shall be considered as supplement U leases during the taxable year only if— “(1) the rents derived from the real property during the taxable year under such leases represent 50 per centum or more of the total rents derived during the taxable year from the real property; or the area of the premises occupied under such leases represents, at any time during the taxable year, 50 per centum or more of the total’ area of the real property rented at such time; or “(2) the rent derived from the real property during the taxable year from any tenant under such a lease, or from a group of tenants (under such leases) who are

Where real property is acquired subject to a mortgage or other similar lien, the amount of the indebtedness secured by such mortgage or lien shall be considered (whether the acquisition was by gift, devise, or purchase) as an indebtedness of the lessor incurred in acquiring such property even though the lessor did not assume or agree to pay such indebtedness, except that where real property was acquired by gift, bequest, or devise prior to July 1, 1950, subject to a mortgage or other similar lien, the amount of such mortgage or other similar lien shall not be considered as an indebtedness of the. lessor incurred in acquiring such property. Where real property was acquired by gift, bequest, or devise prior to July 1, 1950, subject to a lease requiring improvements in such property upon the happening of stated contingencies, indebtedness incurred in improving such property in accordance with the terms of such lease shall not be considered as an indebtedness for purposes of this subsection.

As a result of evidence adduced before various committees of the Senate and House of Representatives, the Congress herebyFindings of Congress. finds that—
(1)There exists a world Communist movement which, in its origins, its development, and its present practice, is a worldwide revolutionary movement whose purpose it is, by treachery, deceit, infiltration into other groups (governmental and otherwise), espionage, sabotage, terrorism, and any other means deemed necessary, to establish a Communist totalitarian dictatorship in the countries throughout the world through the medium of a worldwide Communist organization.
(2)The establishment of a totalitarian dictatorship in any country results in the suppression of all opposition to the party in power, the subordination of the rights of individuals to the state, the denial of fundamental rights and liberties which are characteristic of a representative form of government, such as freedom of speech, of the press, of assembly, and of religious worship, and results in the maintenance of control over the people through fear, terrorism, and brutality.
(3)The system of government known as a totalitarian dictatorship is characterized by the existence of a single political party, organized on a dictatorial basis, and by substantial identity between such party and its policies and the government and governmental policies of the country in which it exists.
(4)The direction and control of the world Communist movement is vested in and exercised by the Communist dictatorship of a foreign country. 64 Stat. 988
(5)The Communist dictatorship of such foreign country, in exercising such direction and control and in furthering the purposes of the world Communist movement, establishes or causes the establishment of, and utilizes, in various countries, action organizations which are not free and independent organizations, but are sections of a worldwide Communist organization and are controlled, directed, and subject to the discipline of the Communist dictatorship of such foreign country.
(6)The Communist action organizations so established and utilized in various countries, acting under such control, direction, and discipline, endeavor to carry out the objectives of the world Communist movement by bringing about the overthrow of existing governments by any available means, including force if necessary, and setting up Communist totalitarian dictatorships which will be subservient to the most powerful existing Communist totalitarian dictatorship. Although such organizations usually designate themselves as political parties, they are in fact constituent elements of the worldwide Communist movement and promote the objectives of such movement by conspiratorial and coercive tactics, instead of through the democratic processes of a free elective system or through the freedom-preserving means employed by a political party which operates as an agency by which people govern themselves.
(7)In carrying on the activities referred to in paragraph (6), such Communist organizations in various countries are organized on a secret, conspiratorial basis and operate to a substantial extent through organizations, commonly known as “Communist fronts”, which in most instances are created and maintained, or used, in such manner as to conceal the facts as to their true character and purposes and their membership. One result of this method of operation is that such affiliated organizations are able to obtain financial and other support from persons who would not extend such support if they knew the true purposes of, and the actual nature of the control and influence exerted upon, such “Communist fronts”.
(8)Due to the nature and scope of the-world Communist movement,-with the existence of affiliated constituent elements working toward common objectives in various countries of the world, travel of Communist members, representatives, and agents from country to country facilitates communication and is a prerequisite for the carrying on of activities to further the purposes of the Communist movement.
(9)In the United States those individuals who knowingly and willfully participate in the world Communist movement, when they so participate, in effect repudiate their allegiance to the United States, and in effect transfer their allegiance to the foreign country in which is vested the direction and control of the world Communist movement.
(10)In pursuance of communism’s stated objectives, the most powerful existing Communist dictatorship has, by the methods referred to above, already caused the establishment in numerous foreign countries of Communist totalitarian dictatorships, and threatens to establish similar dictatorships in still other countries.
(11)The agents of communism have devised clever and ruthless espionage and sabotage tactics which are carried out in many instances in form or manner successfully evasive of existing law.
(12)The Communist network in the United States is inspired and controlled in large part by foreign agents who are sent into the United States ostensibly as attaches of foreign legations, affili- 64 Stat. 989 ates of international organizations, members of trading Commissions, and in similar capacities, but who use their diplomatic or semidiplomatic status as a shield behind which to engage in Activities prejudicial to the public security.
(13)There are, under our present immigration laws, numerous aliens who have been found to be deportable, many of whom are in the subversive, criminal, or immoral classes who are free to roam the country at will without supervision or control.
(14)One device for infiltration by Communists is by procuring naturalization for disloyal aliens who use their citizenship as a badge for admission into the fabric of our society.
(15)The Communist movement in the United States is an organization numbering thousands of adherents, rigidly and ruthlessly disciplined. Awaiting and seeking to advance a moment when the United States may be so far extended by foreign engagements, so far divided in counsel, or so far in industrial or financial straits, that overthrow of the Government of the United States by force and violence may seem possible of achievement, it seeks converts far and wide by an extensive system of schooling and indoctrination. Such preparations by Communist organizations in other countries have aided in supplanting existing governments. The Communist organization in the United States, pursuing its stated objectives, the recent successes of Communist methods in other countries, and the nature and control of the world Communist movement itself, present a clear and present danger to the security of the United States and to the existence of free American institutions, and make it necessary that Congress, in order to provide for the common defense, to preserve the sovereignty of the United States as an independent nation, and to guarantee to each State a republican form of government, enact appropriate legislation recognizing the existence of such worldwide conspiracy and designed to prevent it from accomplishing its purpose in the United States. definitions Sec. 3.

TITLE II— EMERGENCY DETENTIONEmergency Detention Act of 1950. short title Sec. 100. This title may be cited as the “Emergency Detention Act of 1950”. findings of fact and declaration of purpose Sec. 101. As a result Of evidence adduced before various committees of the Senate and the House of Representatives, the Congress hereby finds that—
(1)There exists a world Communist movement which in its origins, its development, and its present practice, is a worldwide revolutionary movement whose purpose it is, by treachery, deceit, infiltration into other groups (governmental and otherwise), espionage, sabotage, terrorism, and any other means deemed necessary, to establish a Communist totalitarian dictatorship in all the countries of the world through the medium of a worldwide Communist organization.
(2)The establishment of a totalitarian dictatorship in any; country results in the suppression of all opposition to the party in power, the complete subordination of the rights of individuals to the state, the denial of fundamental rights and liberties which are characteristic of a representative form of government, such as freedom of speech, of the press, of assembly, and of religious imi worship, and results in the maintenance of control over the people through fear, terrorism, and brutality.
(3)The system of government known as a totalitarian dictatorship is characterized by the existence of a single political party, in organized on a dictatorial basis, and by substantial identity b between such party and its policies and the government and governmental policies of the country in which it exists.
(4)The direction and control of the world Communist movement is vested in and exercised by the Communist dictatorship of a foreign country.
(5)The Communist dictatorship of such foreign country, in exercising such direction and control and in furthering the purposes of the world Communist movement, establishes or causes the establishment of, and utilizes, in various countries, action organizations which are not free and independent organizations, but are sections of a worldwide Communist organization and are controlled, directed, and subject to the discipline of the Communist dictatorship of such foreign country.
(6)The organizations so established and utilized in various countries, acting under such control, direction, and discipline, endeavor to carry out the objectives of the world Communist movement by bringing about the overthrow of existing governments and setting up Communist totalitarian dictatorships which will be subservient to the most powerful existing Communist 64 Stat. 1020 totalitarian dictatorship. Although such Communist organizations usually designate themselves as political parties, they are in fact constituent elements of the worldwide movement and promote the objectives of such movement by conspiratorial and coercive tactics, and especially by the use of espionage and sabotage, instead of through the democratic processes of a free elective system or through the freedom-preserving means employed by a political party which operates as an agency by which people govern themselves.
(7)In the United States those individuals who knowingly and willfully participate in the world Communist movement, when they so participate, in effect repudiate their allegiance to the United States and in effect transfer their allegiance to the foreign country in which is vested the direction and control of the world Communist movement; and, in countries other than the United States, those individuals who knowingly and willfully participate in such Communist movement similarly repudiate their allegiance to the countries of which they are nationals in favor of such foreign Communist country.
(8)In pursuance of communism’s stated objectives, the most powerful existing Communist dictatorship has, by the methods referred to above, already caused the establishment in numerous foreign countries of Communist totalitarian dictatorships, and threatens to establish similar dictatorships in still other countries.
(9)The agents of communism have devised clever and ruthless espionage and sabotage tactics which are carried out in many instances in form or manner successfully evasive of existing law, and which in this country are directed against the safety and peace of the United States.
(10)The experience of many countries in World War II and thereafter with so-called “fifth columns” which employed espionage and sabotage to weaken the internal security and defense of nations resisting totalitarian dictatorships demonstrated the grave dangers and fatal effectiveness of such internal espionage and sabotage.
(11)The security and safety of the territory and Constitution of the United States, and the successful prosecution of the common defense, especially in time of invasion, war, or insurrection in aid of a foreign enemy, require every reasonable and lawful protection against espionage, and against sabotage to national-defense material, premises, forces and utilities, including related facilities for mining, manufacturing, transportation, research, training, military and civilian supply, and other activities essential to national defense.
(12)Due to the wide distribution and complex interrelation of facilities which are essential to national defense and due to the increased effectiveness and technical development in espionage and sabotage activities, the free and unrestrained movement m such emergencies of members or agents of such organizations and of others associated in their espionage and sabotage operations would make adequate surveillance to prevent espionage and sabotage impossible and would therefore constitute a clear and present danger to the public peace and the safety of the United States.
(13)The recent successes of Communist methods in other countries and the nature and control of the world Communist movement itself present a clear and present danger to the security of the United States and to the existence of free American institutions, and make it necessary that Congress, in order to provide 64 Stat. 1021 for the common defense, to preserve the sovereignty of the United States as an independent nation, and to guarantee to each State a republican form of government, enact appropriate legislation recognizing the existence of such worldwide conspiracy and designed to prevent it from accomplishing its purpose in the United States.
(14)The detention of persons who there is reasonable ground to believe probably will commit or conspire with others to commit espionage or sabotage is, in a time of internal security emergency, essential to the common defense and to the safety and security of the territory, the people and the Constitution of the United States.
(15)It is also essential that such detention in an emergency involving the internal security of the Nation shall be so authorized, executed, restricted and reviewed as to prevent any interference with the constitutional rights and privileges of any persons, and at the same time shall be sufficiently effective to permit the performance by the Congress and the President of their constitutional duties to provide for the common defense, to wage war, and to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, the Government and the people of the United States. declaration of “internal security emergency” Sec. 102.
(a)In the event of any one of the following:

(2)Declaration of war by Congress, or

(3)that such agency is not being substantially compensated for the loss in revenue resulting from such acquisition by
(A)other Federal payments, or
(B)increases in revenue accruing to the agency from the carrying on of Federal activities with respect to the property so acquired, then the local educational agency shall be entitled to receive for such fiscal year such amount as, in the judgment of the Commissioner, is equal to the continuing Federal responsibility for the additional financial burden with respect to current expenditures placed on such agency by such acquisition of property, to the extent such agency is not compensated for such burden by other Federal payments. Such amount shall not exceed the amount which, in the judgment of the Commissioner, such agency would have derived in such year, and would have had available for current expenditures, from the property acquired by the United States (such amount to be determined without regard to any improvements or other changes made in or on such property since such acquisition), minus the amount which in his judgment the local educational agency derived from other Federal payments and had available in such year for current expenditures.

(c)The local contribution rate for a local educational agency for any fiscal year shall be computed by the Commissioner of Education, after consultation with the State educational agency and the local educational agency, in the following manner:

(2)he shall then divide
(A)the aggregate current expenditures, during the second fiscal year preceding the fiscal year for which he is making the computation, which the local educational agencies of such comparable school districts made from revenues derived from local sources, by
(B)the aggregate number of children in average daily attendance to whom such agencies provided free public education during such second preceding fiscal year. The local contribution rate shall be an amount equal to the quotient obtained under clause
(2)of this subsection. If, in the judgment of the Commissioner, the current expenditures in those school districts which he has selected under clause
(1)are not reasonably comparable because of unusual geographical factors which affect the current expenditures necessary to maintain, in the school district of the local educational agency for which the computation is being made, a level of education equivalent to that maintained in such other districts, the Commissioner may increase the local contribution rate for such agency by such amount as he determines will compensate such agency for the increase in current expenditures necessitated by such unusual geographical factors. 64 Stat. 1103 limitations on eligibility; limitations on payment

(B)of this paragraph, the Commissioner may waive the 3 per centum condition of entitlement contained in such clause whenever, in his judgment, exceptional circumstances exist which would make the application of such condition inequitable and would defeat the purposes of this Act.

(A)such agency’s percentage requirement for eligibility (as set forth in paragraph
(1)of this subsection) shall be 6 per centum instead of 3 per centum (and those provisions of such paragraph

(a)or
(b)to receive a payment for any fiscal year with respect to the education of a child; and
(2)under State law, the eligibility of such agency for State aid with respect to the free public education of such child is determined on a basis no less favorable to such agency than the basis used in determining the eligibility of local educational agencies for State aid with respect to the free public education of other children in the State; and
(3)such agency is not yet eligible to receive for such child part or all of such State aid, the payment under subsection
(a)or (b), as the case may be, shall be increased by an amount equal to the amount of State aid for which such agency is not yet eligible. adjustment for certain decreases in federal activities

(1)a local educational agency has made preparations to provide during a fiscal year free public education to a certain number of children to whom subsection
(a)or
(b)applies; and
(2)such number has been substantially reduced by reason of a decrease in or cessation of Federal activities, the amount to which such agency is otherwise entitled under this section for such year shall be increased to the amount to which, in the64 Stat. 1104 judgment of the Commissioner, such agency would have been entitled but for such decrease in or cessation of Federal activities, minus any reduction in current expenditures for such year which the Commissioner determines that such agency has effected, or reasonably should have effected, by reason of such decrease in or cessation of Federal activities. certain federal contributions to be deducted

(B)that the portion of such increase so resulting from activities of the United States which still exists in such fiscal year amounts to not less than 25 per centum (or to not less than 15 per centum where, in the judgment of the Commissioner, exceptional circumstances exist which would make the application of the 25 per centum condition of entitlement inequitable and would defeat the purposes of this Act) of the number of all children in average daily attendance at the schools of such agency during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1939; and
(C)that such activities of the United States have placed on such agency a substantial and continuing financial burden; and
(D)that such agency is making a reasonable tax effort and is exercising due diligence in availing itself of State and other financial assistance but is unable to secure sufficient funds to meet the increased educational costs involved, then such agency shall be entitled to receive for the fiscal year in which the determination is made, and for each succeeding fiscal year ending before July 1, 1954, an amount determined as follows: For the fiscalDetermination of amounts. year ending June 30, 1951, 100 per centum of the product determined as provided in paragraph (2); for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1952, 75 per centum of such product; for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1953, 50 per centum of such product; and for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1954,25 per centum of such product.

The determination under clause
(B)shall be made by the Commissioner after considering the current expenditures per child in providing free public education in those school districts within the State which, in the judgment of the Commissioner, are most nearly comparable to the school district of the local educational agency for which the computation is being made.

C. § 23 (k)](/us/usc/t26/s23/k).section 23 (k); “(M) Blocked Foreign Income.—There shall be excluded income derived from sources within any foreign country to the extent that such income would, but for monetary, exchange, or other restrictions imposed by such foreign country, have been includible in the gross income of the taxpayer for any taxable year which preceded its first taxable year under this subchapter. In determining the taxable year for which income derived from foreign sources would have been includible (but for such restrictions) in cases where specific identification can not be made, such determinations shall be made in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary. Where income derived from sources within any foreign country is includible (without regard to this sentence) in a taxable year succeeding the first taxable year under this subchapter, and but for monetary, exchange, or other restrictions imposed by such foreign country would have been includible in the gross income of the taxpayer for its first taxable year under this subchapter, such income, in case such first taxable year began before July 1, 1950, shall be considered (in the application of this subparagraph) as having 64 Stat. 1143 been includible in gross income of a taxable year which preceded such first taxable year in an amount equal to that portion of such income as the number of days prior to July 1, 1950, in such first taxable year bears to the total number of days in such first taxable year. Deductions properly chargeable and allocable to income excluded under this subparagraph shall not be allowed; “(N) Interest—Credit Based Upon Invested Capital.—If the excess profits credit for the taxable year is computed under section 436 the deduction for interest shall be reduced by an*Post*, p. 1156. amount equal to 75 per centum of so much of such interest as represents interest on the indebtedness included in the daily amounts of borrowed capital (determined under section 439 (b)).*Post*, p. 1161. “(O) Interest—Credit Based Upon Income.—If the excess profits credit for the taxable year is computed under section 435, the deduction for interest shall be reduced by an amount*Post*, p. 1148. which bears the same ratio to the interest on the indebtedness included in the daily amounts of borrowed capital (determined under section 439 (b)) as the excess of the amount*Post*, p. 1161. determined under section 435
(C)over the aggregate, divided by the number of days in the taxable year, of the amount determined under section 435

The taxpayer (other than a taxpayer to which the next sentence applies) shall compute the tax and file its return without the application of this subparagraph. If, prior to one year from the date of the beginning of the short taxable year, the taxpayer has disposed of substantially all its assets, in lieu of the twelvemonth period provided in the preceding provisions of this subparagraph, the twelvemonth period ending with the close of the short taxable year shall be used. For the purposes of this subparagraph, the excess profits net income for the short taxable year shall not be placed on an annual *Ante*, p. 1143.basis as provided in subparagraph (A), and the excess profits net income for the twelvemonth period used shall in no case be considered less than the excess profits net income for the short taxable year. The benefits of this subparagraph shall not be allowed unless the taxpayer, at such time as regulations prescribed hereunder require, makes application therefor in accordance with such regulations, and such application, in case the return was filed without regard to this subparagraph, shall be considered a claim for credit or refund.

If the number of such succeeding years is greater than the number necessary to obtain an aggregate of four taxable years, there shall be omitted so many of such succeeding years, beginning with the last, as are necessary to reduce the aggregate to four. “(B) Deductions of any class for any taxable year shall not be disallowed under such paragraph unless the amount of deductions of such class to be disallowed for such year exceeds 5 per centum of the average excess profits net income for the taxable years within, or beginning or ending within, the base period, computed without the disallowance of any class of deductions under such paragraph. Such average excess profits net income shall, for the purposes of this subparagraph, be computed by aggregating the excess profits net incomes of all such taxable years, dividing such aggregate by the total number of months in such years, and multiplying the. quotient by 12. For the purposes of this subparagraph, the excess profits net income for any taxable year shall in no case be less than zero. “(C) Deductions of any class shall not be disallowed under such paragraph unless the taxpayer establishes that the increase in such deductions— “(i) is not a cause or a consequence of an increase in the gross income of the taxpayer in its base period or a decrease in the amount of some other deduction in its base period, which increase or decrease is substantial in relation to the amount of the increase in the deductions of such class, and “(ii) is not a consequence of a change at any time in the type, manner of operation, size, or condition of the business engaged in by the taxpayer. 64 Stat. 1147 “(D) The amount of deductions of any class to be disallowed under such paragraph with respect to any taxable year shall not exceed the amount by which the deductions of such class for such taxable year exceed the deductions of such class for the taxable year for which the tax under this subchapter is being computed. “(11) Taxes paid by lessee.—If under a lease for a term of more than 20 years entered into prior to December 1, 1950, the lessee is obligated to pay any portion of the tax imposed by this chapter upon the lessor with respect to the rentals derived by such lessor from such lessee, or is obligated to reimburse the lessor for any portion of the tax imposed by this chapter upon the lessor with respect to the rentals derived by such lessor from such lessee, such payment or reimbursement of the tax imposed by this chapter shall be excluded by the lessor and a deduction therefor shall not be allowed to the lessee. For the purposes of this paragraph an agreement for lease of railroad properties entered into prior to December 1, 1950, shall be considered to be a lease including such term as the total number of years such agreement may, unless sooner terminated, be renewed or continued under the terms of the agreement, and any such renewal or continuance under such agreement shall be considered part of the lease entered into prior to December 1, 1950. “(12) Bad debts in case of banks.—In the case of a bank (as defined in section 104) using the reserve method of accounting for[53 Stat. 36](/us/stat/53/36).[26 U.

(c)a rate of return (computed to the nearest thousandth) for the four year period 1946 through 1949. Such base period rate of return for each industry classification shall be obtained by aggregating the net income and interest deduction (such amounts being determined as provided under subsection (a)) for such four years and dividing the aggregate by the sum of the total assets (determined as provided under subsection (a)) for such four years. “(c) Industry Classification.—For purposes of this subchapter the classification of taxpayers by industry shall be as provided in the table below.

S. C. § 3761](/us/usc/t26/s3761). relating to compromises), then the correction shall be made by an adjustment under this section. If in a subsequent determination of the tax under this subchapter for such taxable year such inconsistent treatment is not adopted, then the correction shall not be made in connection with such subsequent determination. “(2) Such adjustment shall be made only if there is adopted in the determination a position maintained by the Secretary (in case the net effect of the adjustment would be a decrease in the income taxes previously determined for such year or years) or by the taxpayer with respect to whom the determination is made (in ease the net effect of the adjustment would be an increase in the income taxes previously determined for such year or years) which position is inconsistent with the treatment accorded such item in the prior taxable year or years which was not correct under the law applicable to such year. “(3) Burden of proof.—In any proceeding before the Tax Court or any other court the burden of proof in establishing that an inconsistent position has been taken
(A)shall be upon the Secretary, in case the net effect of the adjustment would be an increase in the income taxes previously determined for the prior taxable year or years, or
(B)shall be upon the taxpayer, in case the net effect of the adjustment would be a decrease in the income taxes previously determined for the prior taxable year or years. “(c) Method and Effect of Adjustment.— “(1) The adjustment authorized by subsection (b), in the amount ascertained as provided in subsection (d), if a net increase, shall be added to, and, if a net decrease, shall be subtracted from, the tax otherwise computed under this subchapter for the taxable year with respect to which such inconsistent position is adopted. “(2) If more than one adjustment under this section is made because more than one inconsistent position is adopted with respect to one taxable year under this subchapter, the separate Adjustments, each an amount ascertained as provided in subsection (d), shall be aggregated, and the aggregate net increase or decrease shall be added to or subtracted from the tax otherwise computed under this subchapter for the taxable year with respect to which such inconsistent positions are adopted. “(3) If all the adjustments under this section, made on account of the adoption of an inconsistent position or positions with respect to one taxable year under this subchapter, result in an aggregate net increase, the tax imposed by this subchapter shall 64 Stat. 1180 in no case be less than the amount of such aggregate net increase. “(4) If all the adjustments under this section, made on account of the adoption of an inconsistent position or positions with respect to a taxable year under this subchapter (hereinafter in this paragraph called the current taxable year), result in an aggregate net decrease, and the amount of such decrease exceeds the tax imposed by this subchapter (without regard to the provisions of this section) for the current taxable year, such excess shall be subtracted from the tax imposed by this subchapter for each succeeding taxable year, but the amount of the excess to be so subtracted shall be reduced by the reduction in tax for intervening taxable years which has resulted from the subtraction of such excess from the tax imposed for each such year. “(d) Ascertainment of Amount of Adjustment.—In computing the amount of an adjustment under this section there shall first be ascertained the amount of the income taxes previously determined for each of the prior taxable years for which correction is prevented. The amount of each such tax previously determined for each such taxable year shall be
(1)the tax shown by the taxpayer, or by the predecessor, upon the return for such prior taxable year, increased by the amounts previously assessed (or collected without assessment) as deficiencies and decreased by the amounts previously abated, credited, refunded, or otherwise repaid in respect of such tax; or
(2)if no amount was shown as the tax by such taxpayer or such predecessor upon the return, or if no return was made by such taxapayer or such predecessor, then the amounts previously assessed (or collected without assessment) as deficiencies, but such amounts previously assessed, or collected without assessment, shall be decreased by the amounts previously abated, credited, refunded, or otherwise repaid in respect of such tax. There shall then be ascertained the increase or decrease in each such tax previously determined for each such year which results solely from the treatment of the item consistently with the treatment accorded such item in the determination of the tax liability under this subchapter. To the increase or decrease so ascertained for each such tax for each such year there shall be added interest thereon computed as if the increase or decrease constituted a deficiency or an overpayment, as the case may be, for such prior taxable year. Such interest shall be computed to the fifteenth day of the third month following the close of the excess profits tax taxable year with respect to which the determination is made. There shall be ascertained the difference between the aggregate of such increases, plus the interest attributable to each, and the aggregate of such decreases, plus the interest attributable to each, and the net increase or decrease so ascertained shall be the amount of the adjustment under this section with respect to the inconsistent treatment of such item. “(e) Interest in Case of Net Increase or Decrease.— “(1) If an adjustment under this section results in a net decrease, or more than one adjustment results in an aggregate net decrease, the portion of such net decrease or aggregate net decrease, as the case may be, subtracted from the tax which represents interest shall be included in gross income of the taxable year in which falls the date prescribed for the payment of the tax under this subchapter. “(2) If an adjustment under this section results in a net increase, or more than one adjustment results in an aggregate net increase, the portion of such net increase or aggregate net increase, as the case may be, which represents interest shall be allowed as a deduction in computing net income for the taxable year in which falls the date prescribed for the payment of the tax under this subchapter. 64 Stat. 1181 “SEC. 453.

The average annual mineral units, natural gas units, or timber units shall be computed by dividing the aggregate of such mineral units, natural gas units, or timber units for the normal period by the number of months for which the mineral property, natural gas property, or timber block was in operation during the normal period and by multiplying the amount so ascertained by twelve. In any case in which the taxpayer establishes, under regulations prescribed by the Secretary, that the operation of any mineral property, natural gas property, or timber block is normally prevented for a specified period each year by physical events outside the control of the taxpayer, the number of months during which such mineral property, natural gas property, or timber block is regularly in operation during a taxable year shall be used in computing the average annual mineral units, natural gas units, or timber units, instead of twelve.

(b)or subsection
(c)with respect to such income as is attributable to excess output above the specified quota. “SEC. 454.

Income described in this section shall not be considered abnormal income under section 456.*Post*, p. 1186. “(c) Adjustment on Account of Changes With Respect to Installment Basis Taxpayers and With Respect to Taxpayers With Income From Long-Term Contracts.—If an adjustment specified in subsection
(a)or subsection
(b)is, with respect to any taxable year, prevented, on the date of the election by the taxpayer under subsection
(a)or subsection (b), as the case may be, or within two years from such date, by any provision or rule of law (other than this subsection and other than section 3761, relating to compromises), such[53 Stat. 462](/us/stat/53/462).[26 U.

ABNORMALITIES IN INCOME IN TAXABLE PERIOD. “(a) Definitions.—For the purposes of this section— “(1) Abnormal income.—The term ‘abnormal income’ means income of any class described in paragraph
(2)includible in the gross income of the taxpayer for any taxable year under this subchapter if it is abnormal for the taxpayer to derive income of such class, or, if the taxpayer normally derives income of such class but the amount of such income of such class includible in the gross income of the taxable year is in excess of 115 per centum of the average amount of the gross income of the same class for the four previous taxable years, or, if the taxpayer was not in existence for four previous taxable years, the taxable years during which the taxpayer was in existence. “(2) Separate classes of income.— Each of the following subparagraphs shall be held to describe a separate class of income: “(A) Income arising out of a claim, award, judgment, or decree, or interest on any of the foregoing; or “(B) Income resulting from exploration, discovery, or prospecting, or any combination of the foregoing, extending over a period of more than 12 months; or “(C) Income from the sale of patents, formulae, or processes, or any combination of the foregoing, developed over a period of more than 12 months; or “(D) Income includible in gross income for the taxable year rather than for a different taxable year by reason of a change in the taxpayer’s method of accounting. All the income which is classfiable in more than one of such subparagraphs shall be classified under the one which the taxpayer irrevocably elects. The classification of income of any class not described in subparagraphs
(A)to (D), inclusive, shall be subject to regulations prescribed by the Secretary. “(3) Net abnormal income.—The term ‘net abnormal income’ means the amount of the abnormal income less, under regulations prescribed by the Secretary,
(A)115 per centum of the average amount of the gross income of the same class determined under paragraph (1), and
(B)an amount which bears the same ratio to the amount of any costs or deductions relating to such abnormal income, allowable in determining the normal-tax net income for the taxable year, as the excess of the amount of such abnormal income over 115 per centum of such average amount bears to the amount of such abnormal income. “(b) Amount Attributable to Other Years.—The amount of the net abnormal income that is attributable to any previous or future taxable year or years shall be determined under regulations prescribed by the Secretary. In the case of amounts otherwise attributable to future taxable years, if the taxpayer either transfers substantially all its properties or distributes any property in complete liquidation, then there shall be attributable to the first taxable year in which such transfer or distribution occurs (or if such year is previous to the taxable year in which the abnormal income is includible in gross income, to such latter taxable year) all amounts so attributable to future taxable years not included in the gross income for a previous taxable year. “(c) Computation of Tax for Current Taxable Year.—The tax under this subchapter for the taxable year, in which the whole of such 64 Stat. 1187 abnormal income would without regard to this section be includible, shall not exceed the sum of: “(1) The tax under this subchapter for such taxable year computed without the inclusion in gross income of the portion of the net abnormal income which is attributable to any other taxable year, and “(2) The aggregate of the increase in the tax under this subchapter for the taxable year (computed under paragraph (1)) and for each previous taxable year which would have resulted if, for each previous taxable year to which any portion of such net abnormal income is attributable, an amount equal to such portion had been included in the gross income for such previous taxable year. “(d) Computation of Tax for Future Taxable Year.—The amount of the net abnormal income attributable to any future taxable year shall, for the purposes of this subchapter, be included in the gross income for such taxable year. “(1) The tax under this subchapter for such future taxable year shall not exceed the sum of— “(A) the tax under this subchapter for such future taxable year computed without the inclusion in gross income of the portion of such net abnormal income which is attributable to such year; and “(B) the decrease in the tax under this subchapter for the previous taxable year in which the whole of such abnormal income would, without regard to this section, be includible which resulted by reason of the computation of such tax for such previous taxable year under the provisions of subsection (c); but the amount of such decrease shall be diminished by the aggregate of the increases in the tax under this subchapter for the future taxable year as computed under subparagraph
(A)and for the taxable years intervening between such previous taxable year and such future taxable year which have resulted because of the inclusion of the portions of such net abnormal income attributable to such intervening years in the gross income for such intervening years. “(2) If, in the application of subsection (c), net abnormal income from more than one taxable year is attributable to any future taxable year, paragraph
(1)of this subsection shall be applied with respect to such future taxable year in the order of the taxable years from which the net abnormal income is attributable beginning with the earliest, as if the portion of the net abnormal income from each such year was the only amount so attributable to such future taxable year, and (except in the case of the portion for the earliest previous taxable year) as if the tax under this subchapter for the future taxable year was the tax determined under paragraph
(1)with respect to the portion for the next earlier previous taxable year. “(3) If in the application of paragraph
(1)to any future taxable year it is determined that the decrease in tax computed under paragraph
(B)with respect to the net abnormal income, a portion of which is included in the gross income for the future taxable year, does not exceed the aggregate of the increases in tax computed under paragraph
(B)with respect to such net abnormal income, then the portions of such net abnormal income attributable to taxable years subsequent to such future taxable year shall not be included in the gross income for such subsequent taxable year. For the purpose of computing the tax under this subchapter for a taxable year subsequent to the future taxable year, the portion of net abnormal income attributable 64 Stat. 1188 to the future taxable year shall not be included in the gross income for such future taxable year to the extent that the inclusion of such portion of net abnormal income in the gross income for such future taxable year did not result in an increase in tax for such future taxable year by reason of the provisions of paragraph (1). “(e) Application of Section.—This section shall be applied only for the purpose of computing the tax under this subchapter as provided in subsections
(c)and (d), and shall have no effect upon the computation of base period net income. For the purposes of subsections
(c)and (d)— “(1) Net abnormal income means the aggregate of the net abnormal income of all classes for one taxable year. “(2) Under regulations prescribed by the Secretary, the tax under this subchapter for previous taxable years shall be computed as if the portions of net abnormal income for each previous taxable year for which the tax was computed under this section were included in the gross income for the other previous taxable years to which such portions were attributable. “(3) If both subsections
(c)and
(d)are applicable to any current taxable year, subsection
(d)shall be applied without regard to subsection (c), and subsection
(c)shall be applied as if the tax under this subchapter, except for subsection (c), was the tax computed under subsection
(d)and as if the gross income and the other amounts necessary to determine the adjusted excess profits net income were those amounts which would result in the tax computed under subsection (d). “SEC. 457. CORPORATIONS COMPLETING CONTRACTS UNDER MERCHANT MARINE ACT. “(a) If the Federal Maritime Board certifies to the Secretary that the taxpayer has completed within the taxable year any contracts or subcontracts which are subject to the provisions of section 505

(d)Equity Invested Capital.—The equity invested capital for any day of any taxable year shall be determined as of the beginning of 64 Stat. 1189 such day and shall be the sum of the following amounts, reduced as provided in subsection
(e)— “(1) Money paid in.—Money previously paid in for stock, or as paid-in surplus, or as a contribution to capital; “(2) Property paid in.—Property (other than money) previously paid in (regardless of the time paid in) for stock, or as paid-in surplus, or as a contribution to capital. Such property shall be included in an amount equal to its basis (unadjusted) for determining loss upon sale or exchange. If the property was disposed of before such taxable year, such basis shall be determined under the law applicable to the year of disposition, but without regard to the value of the property as of March 1, 1913. If the property was disposed of before March 1, 1913, its basis shall be considered to be its fair market value at the time paid in. If the unadjusted basis of the property is a substituted basis, such basis shall be adjusted, with respect to the period before the property was paid in, by an amount equal to the adjustments proper under section 115
(1)for determining earnings and profits.[54 Stat. 1004](/us/stat/54/1004).[26 U. S. C. § 115 (1)](/us/usc/t26/s115/1).

(d)may be determined by computing its excess profits net income either with or without reference to section 462 (b), and its average base period net income under sections 435
(e)or 442 (c), subject to the rules provided in sections 462 *Ante*, pp. 1149, 1164.(c) or (d), may likewise be determined by computing its excess profits net income either with or without reference to section 462 (b).

(1)without regard, however, to that part of such section which provides that in no event shall the excess profits net income of any corporation for any month be less than zero. “(2) For the purposes of this section, if the acquiring corporation*Ante*, p. 1193. was in existence, as provided in section 461 (a), at the beginning of its base period and, for any full month of such base period, either the acquiring corporation or any component corporation was not in existence, such corporation’s excess profits net income for such month shall, notwithstanding the last sentence of*Ante*, p. 1149.*Ante*, p. 1157. section 435
(d)(1), be an amount equal to 1 per centum of the equity capital (as defined in section 437 (c)) of such corporation at the close of the day before the transaction described in section *Ante*, p. 1191.461

(b)as of the day before the transaction described in section 461
(a)occurred, or at the close of the base period of such corporation, whichever is earlier. In case either the acquiring corporation or any component corporation owned stock in any other such corporation on the first day of such owning corporation’s first taxable year under this subchapter, the amounts computed under this paragraph with respect to such corporations shall be adjusted, under regulations prescribed by the Secretary, to such extent as may be necessary to prevent the excess profits 64 Stat. 1195 net income of such corporations for the base period of the acquiring corporation from reflecting money or property having been paid in by either of such corporations to the other for stock or as paid-in surplus or as a contribution to capital, or from reflecting stock of either having been paid in for stock of the other or as paid-in surplus or as a contribution to capital. For the purposes of this paragraph, stock in either such corporation which has in the hands of the other corporation a basis determined with reference to the basis of stock previously acquired by the issuance of such other corporation’s own stock shall be deemed to have been paid in for the stock of such other corporation. “(3) For every month of the acquiring corporation’s base period and for each month thereafter for the period ending June 30, 1950, there shall be added to the excess profits net income of the acquiring corporation for that month, as determined under paragraphs
(1)and (2), the excess profits net income of each component corporation for that month so determined. The excess profits net income of the acquiring corporation for any month, recomputed as provided in the previous sentence, shall, in no event, be less than zero. “(c) Use by Acquiring Corporation of Alternative Average Base Period Net Income Based on Growth Provided for in Section 435 (e).—*Ante*, p. 1149.*Ante*, p. 1191. “(1) In the case of a transaction described in section 461 (a), other than a transaction described in section 461

In any such case, where the transaction occurred on or after July 1, 1950, the monthly excess profits net income of the corporation entitled to the benefits of section 435

(4)and (5), and the net sales of the component corporation for the period prior to the date of the transaction, shall be allocated as between the component corporation and the acquiring corporation in the same ratio as the excess profits net income of the component corporation allocated under subsection (i), and such allocated payroll, gross receipts, and net sales amounts shall be treated by the component corporation and by the acquiring corporation as the payroll, gross receipts, and net sales of the component corporation and the acquiring corporation for the period prior to the transaction. In the appli- 64 Stat. 1197 cation of the test prescribed in section 435
