““There is strong argument to be made in support of the proposition that Congress did not intend to make the 1952 Act retrospective in operation. At least the two Acts must be read together-as they are clearly in pari materia. And I think that the two when read together show that it was not the intention of Congress to make the 1952 Act controlling in that respect. We have seen that under the 1940 Act, prior to the 1952 Act, the petitioner became ineligible for naturalization thereafter. His present contention is that by the 1952 Act his disqualification for naturalization was retrospectively repealed. I cannot accept that view of the matter. The 1940 Act provided in clear language that his voluntary and intentional application for exemption was of itself sufficient to thereafter debar him from naturalization.””
