THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1972 ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH 3A Lance, McNally Named To County Police Board iBond, Dowd a Disagree On No-Fault Plan Related article on page 4A. Missouri's two gubernatorial candidates, State Auditor (Kit) Bond, Republican, and Edward L. Dowd, -Democrat, disagreed today on the concept of a no-fault insurance program for Missouri. The two took the opportunity of a joint appearance before a Missouri Bar meeting at the Chase-Park Plaza Hotel to exchange some rather vigorous campaign blows as well.

Bond, in favoring the no-fault spent most of his speaking time By ASA E. BRYAN Of the Post-Dispatch Staff Two lawyers, D. Jeff Lance and Raymond F. McNally were appointed to the St. Louis County Board of Police Commissioners today by County Supervisor Lawrence K.

Roos. The appointments are subject to approval by the County Council and are effective 20 days after the council approves them unless a majority of the county circuit judges disapproves. The council will receive the appointments today and probably will take action next Thursday. McNally, 7330 Pershing Avenue, Univeristy City, succeeds Edwin J. Putzell the current vice chairman of the county police board.

1 1 has served two terms. Lance, 459 Cloisters Walk, Kirkwood, succeeds G. J. Nooney, who had asked not to be appointed to a second term. Usually, a board member serves two three-year terms.

Lance is a Democrat; McNally, a Republican. Lance, who was graduated from Southeast Missouri State University at Cape Girardeau and the University of Missouri Law School, is a former United States Attorney for Missouri's eastern district. He was appointed by the late President John F. Kennedy in April 1961 and served until December 1962, when he returned to the private practice of law. Lance has been the attorney for the NO BIRD'S EGG: William Dwyer and a friend, Mrs.

Dwyer, who stands six feet four inches tall, was knocked to the ground by the projectile, which went through his hat before striking him on the (Post-Dispatch Photo) Victim Leery Of Falling Objects Raymond F.

The County Charter provides that not more than three of the five county police board members belong to the same political party. promising to end the spoils system in 6tate government. He said the overriding issue of the campaign was which candidate could bring a true change in state government. He said he was committed to government serving the interest of the people, not the politicians.

Dowd's record as St. Louis circuit attorney provided Bond with a chance to throw a few campaign brickbats. Bond said that Dowd had been criticized when he was circuit attorney by the St. Louis Bar Association at the time for holding material witnesses in jail or on bond and detaining arrested persons for long periods without bringing them to a hearing. Bond noted Post-Dispatch reports in 1956 charging Dowd with having hidden microphones in his circuit attorney's office to secretly record office conversations.

Dowd fired back that in each of the cases Bond referred to, the Supreme Court had upheld the cases "and vindicated my actions." Dowd in turn accused Bond of not seeking the office on the basis of personal merit, but rather on waging a smear campaign against his opponent by repeatedly citing the support of the Steamfitters Union for Dowd. Dowd asked why Bond had not disclosed his assets or the approach, said that experience Jn' Massachusetts indicated that no-fault insurance had lowered premiums to consumers and resulted in rebates. who came out opposed to no-fault insurance maintained that many statistics publicized by Massachusetts state officials were misleading. "I have listened to all the arguments, I am not per-iuaded," Dowd said of no-fault insurance. "The exprience in Massachusetts shows the idea that reduced premiums is Dowd said that the adoption ftf a no-fault approach in Missouri would add nothing to the present system.

In fact, he it would mean taking something. away: "taking away from the people of this state 'he right to sue and recover damages they suffer from another's negligence." Dowd contended that in Massachusetts insurance companies 'had lowered premiums because companies established certain limitation for damages and refused to pay more. said that lawyers were committed to the ideal of there is a wrong, there a remedy. The concept of no-fault is opposed to that ideal, because the remedy under no--fault has nothing to do with I wrong. The wrongdoes is com pensated on the same basis as the victim." i replied, "Despite what you may try to do with sta- tistics, the experience in Massa-i chusetts shows that some kind of no-fault program would be justified in Missouri." Clerk, Guard Captain By DONALD E.

FRANKLIN Of the Post-Dispatch Staff When some persons see a shooting star, they make a wish; others rush for a telescope. From now on, however, William Dwyer of Wood River probably will just run for cover. Dwyer, 60 years old, would just as soon not be struck again by what he is certain was a meteorite a dark, speckled object about the size of a robin's egg that struck him on the head and almost knocked him unconscious Saturday. The first scientist to touch moon rocks with his bare hands, now an engineering professor at Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, is studying the object to determine whether it is, indeed, a meteorite. If it is, Dwyer is a very special individual one in a million billion, said SIU Professor Leonard C.

Jones after calculating the odds against a man being struck by a meteor. Jones said' that it is equally extraordinary that Dwyer was not injured seriously. This was of little comfort to Dwyer, who said he had a "terrible headache" when he returned to work at the Alton Box Board Co. He lives at 400 Woodland Avenue. Dwyer said he and Mrs.

Margaret Swanson, 71 years old, a widow, were a 1 i in the garden at the rear of her home at 213 West Drive in the Alton suburb of Cottage Hills. Mrs. Swanson, who was strolling about 10 feet ahead of Dwyer, said she heard him yell, "Something hit me!" and turned to find him on ground. Dwyer, who stands six feet four inches tall and weighs 260 pounds, was rubbing ihis head. Nearby lay his straw hat and the egg-shaped speckled object.

His hat had been punctured by the force of the projectile. "At first, I somebody had shot me or something," Dwyer said. There were no airplanes overhead; no children, who might have been throwing stones, played in the woods nearby. Dwyer picked up the object, but it was too hot to hold so he dropped it. About five minutes later, when the object had cooled enough to handle, the pair examined it.

"It is hard a metal of some kind," said Mrs. Swanson, "but it isn't as heavy as lead." One area of its surface "sparkles like diamond she said. Dwyer placed the object on the kitchen table and tried to saw it in two with a file. "It flattened the file," he said. Mrs.

Swanson gave the object to her son, Gilbert, a cartographer with the United States Aeronautical Chart and Information Center here. Coworkers trained in geology told him it was "definitely a meteorite." Professor Jones, who headed a team of specialists in Houston charged with analyzing lunar samples brought back by the Apollo 11 moon mission, was not so sure. Jones said that the object had some of the properties of me-t i "but the thing that puzzles me is its relative smoothness. The glassy inclusions, however, are similar to those found in other meteor fragments." A deputy circuit clerk and a Workhouse guard captain were shot in unexplained separate attacks last night. Samuel L.

Goldston, deputy circuit clerk and former Nineteenth Ward Democratic committeeman, was shot in the abdomen and left arm when walking to his parked automobile in the 1500 block of Wagoner Place at 11:30 p.m. Bennie Gregory, Workhouse guard captain, was shot in the abdomen and right arm by one of five teen-agers to whom he was talking.

Louis member of the State Highway Commissi commenting on the oeaths of two persons yester-cay, said he would meet with the other commissioners today to discuss methods of discouraging wrong-way drivers at the Seventh Street exit ramp of Interstate 70. The two were killed and two others were injured in an accident in the reversible lanes on 1-70 near the Street exit. Mrs. Shirley Perko, 45 years old, of 550 Mullanphy Lane, Florissant and her son David Allen Perko, 25, of 10460 Count Drive, Moline Acres, were killed. Lt.

Col. Clyde D. Allen, 41, of 1595 Fairmount Drive, Florissant, and Mrs. Perko's mother Mrs. Florence Smith, 76, of 550 Mullanphy Drive, were injured in the crash.

They were taken to City Hospital where their C-ndition was listed as serious. Police said the accident oc-cured at 11:15 wihen Allen entered the reversible lanes at Seventh Street going west, although the traffic was going east, and collided with the Perko car. Linsin said one proposed safety method for the exit ramp would be a system of lights that would lie flat on the pavement but would appear to be about 10 inches off the ground to a wrong-way motorist. The Highway Department is experimenting also with a red flasher light with a horn that would be activated if someone were driving the wrong way, he said. The Seventh Street ramp is the only entrance to the reversible lanes that does not have a barrier to warn a motorist that he is traveling the wrong way.

Denis Bigley, traffic studies engineer for the St. Louis district of the Missouri Highway BeDartment, said there was no figrrier at the ramp because the ra'mp was used in the same reversible manner as the lanes and a barrier would prevent amount of his "vast wealth with corporations that do business with the State of Missouri. "The people should be suspicious of a guy who comes back after 15 years out of the state and tries to buy the governorship," Dowd said.
