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.
Dr II. D. Gildersleeve was
earned temporary chairman of
the sporting group Arthur J.
Noccker, temporary secretary.
Re-mictions were forwarded to
Gov. Victor Anderson.
nderson and A tty .-Gen. Clar
nc Beck earlier had made
r .ss announcements concerning
complete investigation of the
n x county incident. Initially
was talk Of ousting War
ltn for failure to press charges
, -amst Skogan. On the heels of
the O’Neill meeting, how-ever,
’he ouster possibilities began to
diminish.

•’enist'er declared four or
five hundred sportsmen would
move on Lincoln in behalf of
Mr. Warren’s stand, if neces
sary. Groups from other coun
ties pledged support.
Appointed to the resolutions
committee were: Joe Dobry
of Center, Arthur Runnels of
Stuart, Warren Jordan of Butte.
Resolutions upholding Warren
and calling for Robertson’s resig
nation were unanimously adopt
ed.
The group also talked about

ing fees, pleasant and unpleas
ant experiences with game war
dens.

Central Portion of
State Shows Gains
East Nebraska Also
Reports Rise
((Illustration below.)
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.
