Whereas, in my judgment, the public interest requires that John F. Phillips, assistant to the superintendent, Mechanical Division, Department of Operation and Maintenance, The Panama Canal, who, during the month of September, 1942, 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 John F. Phillips from compulsory retirement for age for a period of one year ending September 30, 1943.
