| 4 | | disability, and of any veterans who died during the induction | 5 | | periods specified

periods, such | 7 | | periods to be those beginning September 16, 1940, and ending
| 8 | | December 6, 1941, and beginning January 1, 1947 and ending June | 9 | | 26, 1950
and the period beginning February 1, 1955, and ending | 10 | | on the day before
the first day thereafter on which individuals | 11 | | (other than individuals liable
