Patterson, head chemist (Powder Expert), U.S. Naval Powder Factory, Indian Head, Maryland, who was exempted from compulsory retirement for age for a period of one year by Executive Order No. 7819 of February 17, 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 George W. Patterson from compulsory retirement for age for a period of one year ending March 31, 1940.
