Whereas, in my judgment, the public interest requires that James L. Hughes, District Director of Immigration and Naturalization Service, Gloucester City, New Jersey, Department of Labor, who, during the month of November, 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 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 exempt the said James L. Hughes from compulsory retirement for age for a period of one year ending November 30, 1940.
