## Opinion text

HAMITER, Justice
(dissenting).
In my opinion the doctrine of privileged comment respecting the efforts of public or quasi-public persons, as enunciated in Flanagan v. Nicholson Publishing Company, 137 La. 588 , 68 So. 964 , L.R.A.1917E, 510, Ann.Cas.1917B, 402 (not since overruled), is appropriate to this case, and the trial judge, I think, properly and correctly applied it in dismissing this suit.
I respectfully dissent.
