Whereas, in my judgment, the public interest requires that J. Humbird Smith, market master, Department of Weights, Measures and Markets of the Government of the District of Columbia, who during the current month, 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 J. Humbird Smith from compulsory retirement for age for a period of one year ending July 31, 1939.
