OPINION

Simpson, Judge:

The respondent determined that the petitioner was liable as transferee for deficiencies in the income tax of the Protective Life Insurance Co. as follows:

Year Deficiency

1958_$200, 589. 67

1959_ 156, 645. 21

1960_ 212, 785. 62

Year Deficiency

1961_$338,490.63

1962__ 76,142.43

1966_ 471. 28

The issues in this case have been severed, and the only issue to be decided herein is whether consents executed by an officer of Protective, subsequent to — but within 2 years after — its dissolution, were valid and extended tbe period of limitations on assessments against Protective.
