July 15, 1939, ch. 282; re-
stated Oct. 14, 1940, ch.
875, § 5, 54 Stat. 1137.
The words ‘‘under such regulations as he may pre-
scribe’’, in 10:455e and 32:164d, are omitted, since the
Secretary has inherent authority to issue regulations
appropriate to exercising his statutory functions. The
reference to 10:455a–455d and 32:164a–164c, and the words
‘‘nor any other law of the United States shall be con-
strued as limiting the power and authority’’, are omit-
ted, since the revised section makes explicit the au-
thority of the Secretary to require the prescribed hos-
pitalization and care. The words ‘‘or in training, under
the provisions of section 62—’’ are omitted as covered
by the words ‘‘active duty’’. The words ‘‘in the active
military service’’ are omitted as surplusage. With the
exception of 32:62 (4th proviso of last sentence), the ref-
erences to 32:62–65, 144–146, 183, and 186, in 10:455e and
32:164d, do not refer to members of the Army National
Guard of the United States and are therefore omitted
from the revised section. 10:455e (1st proviso) and
32:164d (1st proviso) are omitted since they apply only
to the National Guard and are covered by section 320 of
title 32.
