GARTH, Circuit Judge:

This appeal requires us to examine the validity and interrelationship of sent*721ences1 imposed upon the petitioner under 18 U.S.C. §§ 3651,2 36533 and 4208.4 We are obliged to decide among other issues: whether the petitioner’s sentence *722was properly imposed on July 28, 1965, and therefore, whether he was validly on probation at a time when an order for his arrest charging probation violation was issued on October 9, 1970. We must also determine whether the district court erred in sentencing the_ petitioner under the provisions of 18 U.S.C. § 420&(b) & (c)…
