1. Clause (2) of paragraph (e) of § 278 of the Revenue Act of 1924, which declares that that section shall not "affect any assessment made . . . before the enactment of this Act," does not render inoperative the provisions of paragraph (c) of the same section authorizing waivers with respect to taxes of which the assessment had been made but the collection had become barred prior to the date of the Act. P. 428.

2. Waivers given after the date of the Revenue Act of 1924 with respect to the collection of taxes barred before that date are not invalid under clause (1), paragraph (e) of § 278 of that Act. See McDonnell v. United States, ante p. 420. P. 429.
