Russia In The Dark News SGT. WILLIAM B. DARNELL, of the Missouri Highway Patrol in Portageville, is presented a dangerous drug chart by James Savage, Osco Drug Pharmacist. The chart will be used in the zone 5 area which extends from the vicinity of New Madrid south to the Arkansas line as an aid in identifying dangerous drugs. Smart Money May Be Missing A Bet Jack Flach Reports: in the Globe Democrat In all of the premature talk these days about the possible Democratic nominee for governor in 1972, the so called smart money boys may be overlooking a man who should run a strong race.

Without too much tub thumping mainly because the election is still two years away St. Louisan Edward L. Dowd is making a determined bid for the number one job. Dowd barely missed becoming the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor two years ago and ran a good enough race to whet his appetite for the upcoming contest two years hence. It appears his arch rival for the number two post in 1968, William S.

Morris of Kansas City, who went on to win the job, will again be one of his main enemies in side the party in 19 7 2 IF YOU REMEMBER, Morris won the nomination with 207,000 votes to Dowd.s 189,000 in a squeaker, and then defeated Kansas City Republican Lem T. Jones. Although being dose only counts in horseshoes, friends reftised to throw in the towel as far as his political career was concerned. With a little more money and time, Dowd supporters claim, their man would have made it two years ago. So this time around, Edward Dowd is doing his campaigning early and in earnest to cover Missouri.s 114 counties.

Not tied to any political factions, Dowd apparently will again have to scratch for the money that has become ever so necessary to run any kind of a statewide race. Dowd is not the handshaking, backslapping type of politician who has been a part of Missouri Democratic politics for so many years. a serious type of campaigner who likes to talk issues rather than make small talk and jokes. As a result tough to get to know for some occasional listener in the political area a. but little by little Dowd is plugging away and making inroads at Democratic rallies, at civic gatherings and at neighborhood get-togethers.

AS FORMER president of the St. Louis Board of Police Commissioners and a former St. Louis circuit attorney, Dowd has good credentials. Bill Morris, of course will have the backiig of Gov. Heames but since Heames is now a governor, there is some question as to just how valuable an asset he will be.

Morris clobbered Dowd two years ago in home area Kansas City. But in 1972, if two other contenders from that part of the state get into the race, the lieutenant governor will find the going a bit rougher in his hometown. True Davis of St. Joseph and Charles Curry of Kansas City appear on the verge of jumping into the race and the more entries from the western part of the state the better the chances appear for Dowd, some of his LENINGRAD yoi heard?

is a mathematician. Only if there is protest in the West will he ever see his wife and child Then, clutching his briefcase nervously, he hurried off hoping he had not been observed. Americans are often puzzle what the fuss over intellectuals in the Soviet Union is all about. In simplest terms the answer is that the rays of light are trying to penetrate total darkness. The Communist Party considers it essential that the mass of the people be kept under a news blackout.

And it places theopponents of the policy of deliberate obscurantism in jail or in the madhouse. If the people don't know the facts, tl ey cannot criticize. Those who do not know must live on rumors and in fear. Ignorance is turned into a sophisticated means of political control In protest of this policy Gen. Pyotr G.

Grigorenko has been detained in an insane asylum. An Dr. Jaures Medvedev, who wrote a book on the rise and fall of the 8t alinist geneticist Trofim Lysenko, was released recently only after the strongest protest by the entire academic community. A SMALL group of third-year students at the Language Institues of Leningrad University was asked by Editorial Research Reports if they knew what had become of Andrei Amalrik It quickly turned out that they had heard of the name, but did not even know he was a writer, that he had been arrested in May, and that he would be tried. They seemed ashamed of their own ignorance, upset that a Westerner knew more about what was happening in their own country than they did.

During the conversation which followed, one of the students explained that he had failed his philosophy examination for his lack of understanding of This student, 20 years old, had never read Plato or Aristotle. (The last thing a Russian government would want is for anyone to question life in the manner of Socrates.) In his philosophy course, outstanding figures from Locke to Warrants Approved BENTON: The County Court approved these bills recently: Printing Benton printing for Sheriff, $59.80. Claude REvelle, Benton, garbage pick-up at Jail, $10.00 Salvage, Sikeston, Flooring for County Jail, $25.00. Benton Postmaster, stamps for County mailing machine, $500.00. John Dennis, Sheriff, Benton, board of County prisoners, $530.25.

Kierkegaard went entirely un mentioned. Even Russian thinkers such as Martov, Trotsky and Bukharin are never read only denounced. Striking up a conversation on a park bench with a Red Army captain, it soom became apparent that he was highly interested in taking a look at a copy of the (London)Economist on my lap. The officer said that, unfortunately, there were no discussions in the Russian press about the very essential economic reforms which are to be carried out. There is no real debate, for example, about the priority heavy industry is to receive over the production of consumer goods in the next five-year plan.

THE CAPTIAN, confessing himself to be an optimist, concluded the conversation by saying that he hoped it would be possible to one day purchase foreign newspapers as it had been in the time of Lenin. Meantime, intellectuals show their protest by publishing an underground newspaper called Samizdat (Self-publishing). This paper is produced in the manner of a chain letter: each recipient types three copies and passes these on to others, adding his bit of news at the very end. The blackout technique has been tried before in Russian history, under the Tsars. Ultimately it has always failed.

The government may erect even larger statues than the one which has now quietly appeared over tomb alongside the Kremlin. But until it abandons its deliberate policy of suppressing the truth, it seems certain that dissidence in Leningrad and elsewhere will continue to gather force.
