Historical and Revision Notes
May 24, 1939, ch. 146, § 453 Stat. 755Based on title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., § 185c (, ).
This section was changed so as to make provisions for enlisted men parallel to similar provisions for commissioned and warrant officers (see §§ 240 and 310 of the revised title). It seems fair and equitable that similar provisions should apply to all classes of personnel insofar as practicable. 81st Congress, House Report No. 557.
