LEVIN H. CAMPBELL, Circuit Judge.
Each of the appellants was convicted at a separate non-jury trial held in the District Court for the District of Puerto Rico of entering upon a United States naval reservation in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1382.1 Of their numerous challenges to the convictions and ensuing sentences, the most substantial is their contention that in each case the government failed to prove all elements of the offense charged. We agree, and on this basis are constrained to reverse the convictions.
