WHEREAS, in Commonwealth Act Numbered thirty-eight, appropriating funds for the necessary expenses of the Government of the Philippines during the nineteen hundred and thirty-seven, the National Assembly has placed the Bureau of Prisons under the Department of Justice instead of under the Philippine Army or under the Office of the President, notwithstanding the provisions of Executive Order Numbered Forty-one, dated June twenty-ninth, nineteen hundred thirty-six, ratified by it;
