v.
UNITED STATES of America, Appellee.
No. 9030.
United States Court of Appeals Tenth Circuit.
April 5, 1967.
Joe Cannon, Oklahoma City, Okl., for appellant.
John W. Raley, Jr., Asst. U. S. Atty., (B. Andrew Potter, U. S. Atty., was with him on the brief), for appellee.
Before PICKETT, LEWIS and HICKEY, Circuit Judges.
DAVID T. LEWIS, Circuit Judge.
After entry of plea of guilty to each of four counts charging failure to file income tax returns for the years 1958, 1959, 1960 and 1961, violative of 26 U.S.C. § 7203, the District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma placed appellant upon probation for a period of five years and reserved imposition of sentence pursuant to the authority under 18 U.S.C. § 3651.

This appeal followed, appellant asserting that the trial court abused its discretion in ordering revocation of probation and imposing sentence.
The trial court made two specific findings of fact: that appellant had made no payments for the support of his children since December 1, 1965 and that appellant had been financially unable on his own to make the child support payments since December 1, 1965.
