both of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed. Other provisions of said section
409 are incorporated in sections 659 and 2117 of this title.
Definitive language in section 412 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed.,
as to offense being a felony was deleted to conform with section 1
of this title. (See reviser's note under section 550 of this
title.)

penitentiary" in section 412 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., in view
of power of Attorney General under section 4082 of this title.
Minimum punishment provision "less than one year nor" in section
412 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., was omitted for reasons in
reviser's note under section 203 of this title.
Maximum fine of $5,000 was substituted for minimum fine of $500
in section 412 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., as being more
consonant with the scheme of penalties and offenses provided by
Congress for most sections in this chapter.
Sentence in section 412 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., "Nothing
in this section shall be held to take away or impair the
jurisdiction of the several courts under the laws thereof;", was
omitted in view of section 3231 of this title.
