1 Stat. 738.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------

    The authority to transfer Navy personnel to the Hospital Corps and 
personnel of that Corps to other branches or designations in the Navy is 
omitted as unnecessary because transfers within the Navy are permitted 
under provisions which authorize the Secretary of the Navy to establish 
grades and ratings (34 U.S.C. 176) and to administer the Department (5 
U.S.C. 171a(c)).
    The saving provision of 34 U.S.C. 34a which provided that no person 
would suffer any reduction in grade, rating, or pay, is omitted as 
executed. It pertained to personnel who, when the Hospital Corps was 
reorganized under the Act of August 4, 1947, ch. 459, Secs. 301, 302, 61 
Stat. 738, were in grades and ratings prescribed by prior laws.
