Historical and Revision Notes

1948 ActBased on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 753g (May 14, 1930, ch. 274, § 8, 46 Stat. 327). The second paragraph was originally a proviso. Minor changes of phraseology were made.

1949 ActThis section [section 61] corrects the third paragraph of section 4008 of title 18, U.S.C., by redesignating the “War Department” as the “Department of the Army”, to conform to such redesignation by act of July 26, 1947 (ch. 343, title II, § 205(a), 61 Stat. 501), and by inserting a reference to the Department of the Air Force, in view of the creation of such Department by the same act.

Editorial Notes

Amendments1949—Act May 24, 1949, substituted “the Army, Navy, or Air Force” for “War, or the Navy”.
