James H. Stewart, Jr., Harrisburg, Pa. (James S. Bowman and Nauman, Smith, Shissler & Hall, Harrisburg, Pa., on the brief), for appellants.

Joseph Kovner, Dept. of Justice, Washington, D. C. (Louis F. Oberdorfer, Asst. Atty. Gen., Lee A. Jackson, Melva M. Graney, Martin B. Cowan, Attorneys, Department of Justice, Washington, D. C., Bernard J. Brown, U. S. Atty., on the brief), for appellee.

Before McLAUGHLIN, STALEY and HASTIE, Circuit Judges.


STALEY, Circuit Judge.

This appeal requires us to determine whether plaintiffs' decedent, Gertrude McCormick, had such an interest in two separate trusts at the time of her death that they are includible in her gross estate under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1939. In a suit for refund of estate taxes, the district court answered this question in the affirmative. 208 F.Supp. 228 (M.D.Pa., 1962).
