GENERAL RULE. — " (1) ORDINARY INCOME.—Except as otherwise provided in this

Such gain shall be recognized notwithstanding any other provision of this subtitle. "(2) RECOMPUTED BASIS.—For purposes of this section, the term 'recomputed basis' means, with respect to any property, its adjusted basis recomputed by adding thereto all adjustments, attributable to periods after December 31, 1961, reflected in such adjusted basis on account of deductions (whether in respect of the same or other property) allowed or allowable to the taxpayer or to any other person for depreciation, or for amortization under section 168.
