Under Sections 4 5 4 (b ) and 1221(5) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1954, the amount of discount at which bills issued here­
under are sold is considered to accrue when the bills are sold, re­
deemed or otherwise disposed of, and the bills are excluded from

bills (other than life insurance com panies) issued hereunder must
include in his income tax return, as ordinary gain or loss, the dif­
ference between the price paid for the bills, whether on original
issue or on subsequent purchase, and the amount actually received
either upon sale or redemption at maturity during the taxable year
for which the return is made.
