that he did not ask for raise of
salary, in an answer he made
Tuesday in an alleged attack on
him made by Judge Gilbert Du'

deplored the statements Of Judge
Dupre, saying in part:
II deeply regret that Hon.
Gilbert lupre found it necessary
to make personal attack on me
and nv many friends on the floor

I do not doubt honesty or sim
