1940, ch. 439, title I, Secs. 1, 3, 5, 54 Stat. 670, 671).
Section consolidates sections 9, 11, and 13 of title 18, U.S.C.,
1940 ed., with only such changes of phraseology as were necessary
to effect consolidation.
The revised section extends the provisions so as to include the

of this title. (See reviser's note under that section.)
Minor changes were made in arrangement and phraseology.
