Executive Order 8002—Exemption of Harry Peale From Compulsory Retirement for Age

Whereas, in my judgment, the public interest requires that Harry Peale, architect, Office of the Quartermaster General, War Department, who, during the month of January, 1939, will reach the retirement age prescribed for automatic separation from the service, applicable to him, be exempted from compulsory retirement for age for a period of six months:

Now, Therefore, by virtue of and pursuant to the authority vested in me by section 204 of the act of June 30, 1932, 47 Stat. 382, 404 (U.S.C., title 5, sec. 715a), I hereby exempt the said Harry Peale from compulsory retirement for age for a period of six months ending July 31, 1939.
