Larcombe, principal clerk, Office of the Surgeon General, War Department, 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 six months:

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, see. 715a), I hereby exempt the said Huntt P. Larcombe from compulsory retirement for age for a period of six months ending November 30, 1940.
