Executive Order 8252—Exemption of Samuel J. Gompers From Compulsory Retirement For Age

Whereas, in my judgment, the public interest requires that Samuel J. Gompers, Chief Clerk, Department of Labor, who was exempted from compulsory retirement for age for a period of one year by Executive Order No. 7958 of August 19, 1938, be further exempted from such compulsory retirement for a period of one year:

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 further exempt the said Samuel J. Gompers from compulsory retirement for age for a period of one year ending September 30, 1940.
