Denney Favored for Nebraska Judgeship Says Tiemann
Lincoln Nebraska Gov Norbert Tiemann said Rep Robert V Denney has the inside track on a Nebraska judgeship. He declined to name a favorite to replace Denney and praised Bob Barnett without pressuring for the post. Tiemann backs Barney Adams in the Third District Railway Commission race over Duane Gay, Adams having filled the post after Fred Petersons death.
