    The words ``and shall be an extra number therein'' are omitted, 
since, in the opinion of the Judge Advocate General of the Army (JAG 
210.85, Feb. 21, 1923), they were repealed by the Act of July 31, 1935, 
ch. 422, 49 Stat. 505. The words ``in the discretion of the President, 
employed * * * assigned to duty'' are omitted as surplusage. The words 
``arms, corps, department'' are omitted, since the Air Force does not 
have organic corps created by statute.
