He said he had not made any announce ment of his action and had nos. in tended to, but that the criticism that has been levelled at him by Str.te em ployes and others for not making any cut in his ova, salary, together with the recent announcement by Gover nor Pollard of Virginia that he was cutting his salary 10 per cent, had induced him to make it public.
