WATERMAN, Circuit Judge.

The petitioner, The Gregg Company of Delaware, appeals from a decision of the Tax Court, 23 T.C. 170, 1954, that the amounts paid by petitioner to its parent corporation on its so-called “Fifty-Year 4% Income Notes” were not deductible “interest * * * on indebtedness” within the meaning of Section 23(b) of the Revenue Acts of 1934, 1936, and 1938, 26 U.S.C.A.
