Arzaga was convicted on two counts, each charging a violation of 21 U.S.C.A. § 174, the first for importing opium from "Mexico, the second for concealing opium, knowing it to "have been imported. The Court imposed a sentence of three and one-half years on each count. Arzaga, after he had almost completed serving sentence of the first count, filed a petition for correction and modification of the sentence. This the District Judge denied. Appeal followed.

The crimes charged by the two counts are separate and distinct, since each count required proof of different elements than those required by the other. Palmero v. United States, 1 Cir., 112 F.2d 922. Affirmed.
