OPINION.
TIETJENS, Judge:
The Commissioner determined a deficiency in estate tax liability of $996.97.
The only question for decision is whether the powers to appoint the proceeds of certain life insurance policies possessed by decedent at the date of her death, June 20, 1956, were created after October 21, 1942. If they were created after that date the proceeds would be includible in her gross estate as determined by the Commissioner.
