Executive Order 8562—Exemption of James L. Hughes From Compulsory Retirement for Age

Whereas, in my judgment, the public interest requires that James L. Hughes, District Director of Immigration and Naturalization, Gloucester City, New Jersey, Department of Justice, who was exempted from compulsory retirement for age for a period of one year by Executive Order No. 8260 of September 21, 1939, 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 James L. Hughes from compulsory retirement for age for a period of one year ending November 30, 1941.
