Executive Order 5852—Authorizing the Appointment of Mrs. Gladys L. Knight

Mrs. Gladys L. Knight may be appointed to an existing vacancy in the rating of junior typist, Grade CAF-1, at $1,260 per annum, Headquarters, United States Marine Corps, Washington, D.C., without regard to the civil-service act or rules.

Mrs. Knight is the widow of First Lieut. Clarence M. Knight, United States Marine Corps, who was killed in line of duty in an airplane accident on July 22, 1929, at Ocotal, Nicaragua. The death of her husband has left Mrs. Knight without support, and she is in need of employment in order to provide herself and minor child with the necessities of life.

This order is issued upon the recommendation of the Secretary of the Navy.
