Before KALODNER and HASTIE, Circuit Judges, and MODARELLI, District judge.
PER CURIAM.
The questions presented here are (1) whether payments from the principal of a trust, created by her deceased husband during his lifetime, to a divorced wife under a separation agreement and divorce decree, are taxable as income to her under Section 22(k) of the Internal Revenue Code,1 and (2) whether a payment in a lump sum of arrears in the monthly amounts provided under the separation agreement and divorce decree, constituted 'fixed or determinable annual or periodical' income from sources within the United States, taxable to the divorced wife, a non-resident alien, under Section 211(a)(1)(A),2 and as such was subject to withholding tax under Section 143(b).3 The Tax Court ruled in the affirmative on the two questions and we are in complete accord with its disposition for the reasons so well stated in its opinion, 16 T.C. 1398.
The decision of the Tax Court will be affirmed.
