Section 812, act June 30, 1942, ch. 462, § 7, 56 Stat. 465, amended former sections 350 and 3501 of former Title 34, Navy.

It appears that section 808 of this Appendix does not apply to the Coast Guard since it has no staff officers and that section 809 does not apply because it amends provisions relating only to the Navy and Marine Corps. As pointed out in notes under sections 806, 807, 810, and 812, they have been superseded with respect to the Coast Guard.

Section 814, act June 30, 1942, ch. 462, § 9, 56 Stat. 465, had prohibited any reduction of pay by virtue of former sections 806-814 of this Appendix, and provided for termination of sections 806-814 of this Appendix on June 30 of fiscal year following that in which World War II ended.
