    The words ``basic allowance for subsistence'' are substituted for 
the words ``money accruing from the commuted rations'' to conform to the 
terminology of Sec. 301 of the Career Compensation Act of 1949 (37 
U.S.C. 251). Section 301 of the Career Compensation Act of 1949 
supersedes the authority of the Secretary of the Navy to commute the 
rations of enlisted members and authorizes in lieu thereof a basic 
allowance for subsistence. The words ``enlisted members of the naval 
service'' are substituted for the words ``enlisted men'' for uniformity 
of expression and for clarity. The word ``legally'' is omitted as 
surplusage. The words ``and subsisting in'' are inserted to make it 
clear that the mess must actually subsist the enlisted members assigned 
before the basic allowance of the members may be paid to the mess. The 
words ``to which they are assigned'' are inserted for clarity.
