cover the reference to the exception made to the provisions of
subsection (b), section 61h of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., which
expressly prescribes the circumstances under which a person may be
lawfully deprived of his employment and compensation therefor.
Changes were made in phraseology.

deprivations based upon race, creed, and color which are now set
out in section 246 of this title, replaced term "political
activity" with more precise terms and definitions, and raised the
amount of maximum fine from $1,000 to $10,000.
