SportsGroup Applauds Attorney s Position A newly-formed group of sportsmen, representing Holt, Knox, Boyd and Rock counties, Friday night applauded Knox County Attorney Merrit C. War ren's stand for refusing to pros ecute Knox County Assessor George Skogan of Center on a game law charge The group, which formed into the North - Central Nebraskas Game Conservation association, in resolutions also ailed for the resignation of Donald Robertson of North Platte, game commis sion member. Skogan allegedly was shooting from a county road when he was encountered by Game Warden Fred Salak of O'Neill. Salak went to Warren, who was reluc tant to take action pending the outcome of a similar case in Johnson county in which Rob ertson was caught shooting from a highway. State Game Commissioner Mel Steen of Lincoln sometime ago ordered the charges against Robertson dropped. Steen said the evidence did ,.ot justify the filing of the charge in the first place. Tlic 5-J sportsmen meeting at < . Iden hotel reasoned i ess of justice should nave been carried out in the Robertson matter and a hearing should have been held. Knox county was strongly re presented at Friday’s session j iere. "Mr. Warren was moral ly right,” the Knox delegation declared, “in refusing hi take action against Skogan until something is done about the Robertson case.” Sail Jack Luckert of Center: •1 doubt if you can find 12 men in Knox county who would con vict Skogan in view of the fact that charges against Robertson were dropped.

The different areas of Ne braska have registered diverse and opposite economic progress in the last five years with the eastern and central divisions of j the state faring the best. , This is the report of Business in Nebraska published by Edgar Z. Palmer, department of bui ness research for the University of Nebraska college of business administration. According to Palmer’s figures, the Omaha area has fared the best judged on four criteria of population, retail sales, agricul ture and industry. The Lincoln-Beatrice area has fared second best (see map) along with the lower Platte area of Fremont, Norfolk and Cen tral City. Economic growth and progress was also strong in the irrigated areas along the middle Platte (North Platte, Kearney, Grand Island and Hastings), Southeast Central' (York. Superior and Fairbury) and Southwestern Central (McCook, Holdrege, Min den). 1 I1L' oauuiuua ct 1 L Miuwt-U slight declines in two factors. Western Nebraska panhandle, Southwest (Imperial), north-cen tral (Ord, Albion), northeast (South Sioux City) showed de clines in one factor. Increases in all four phases of the economy analyzed—popula tion, retail trade, agriculture and manufacturing—were recorded in the Omaha, Lincoln and Lower and Middle Platte river areas. Population increased in the four “healthiest” areas and in the Panhandle. Greatest loss was in the southwest. Part of the agriculture loss in the area was due to poor rain fall and low cattle prices in 1954 as compared with 1949, the re port said. (See table.) Based on the dollar value of products, the greatest increases in manufacturing came in the Fremont - Norfolk - Central C‘ tv area, “The area has jumped to three and a half times what it was a few years ago,” Palmer said. “The northeast area (South Sioux City to Blair) has increas ed three times since 1947,” he also noted. Palmer noted an increase in the Omaha area greater in terms of dollars but less percentage wise. Omaha manufacturing grew over $50 million in the sev en years. The southwest area shows up well because crop and price of wheat were good in 1954 and not so good in the earlier year.
