Executive Order 8603—Exemption of James C. Wynde From Compulsory Retirement for Age

Whereas, in my judgment, the public interest requires that James C. Wynde, Deputy Collector of Customs, Treasury 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 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 James C. Wynde from compulsory retirement for age for a period of one year ending November 30, 1941.
