      Words "by the juvenile court of the District of Columbia, as well
    as to those committed by any court of the United States," at end of
    section were omitted as unnecessary, and word "all" inserted before
    "persons", without change of meaning.
      Provision against penitentiary imprisonment for a term of 1 year
    or less without consent of defendant was incorporated in section
    4083 of this title.
      The phrase "if in his judgment it shall be for the well-being of
    the prisoner or relieve overcrowded or unhealthful conditions in
    the institution where such person is confined or for other
    reasons", was omitted as unnecessary.
      Changes were made in phraseology.

    ed., providing for execution of sentences in houses of correction
    or reformation; and section 748 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed.,
