From Page 1B within a family and a lot of guilt settles in on the child. can assure you there is no case that has greater emotional impact on you than this," Mountjoy said.

"You have to work very hard to shield the child and I think you absorb some yourself." O'Hara told police officers, juvenile court officials and day -care providers at the St. Louis con-, ference that he would ask the General Assembly for 167 new investigators to field complaints next vear. Legislators reconvene in January and will face unusual pressure from all state agencies for increased funding because, for the first time in several years, the state expects to have a multimillion-dollar surplus of money. O'Hara also released a proposal calling on law enforcement and juvenile officers statewide to "co-investigate" child abuse complaints with his agency as soon as the complaints are received. That cooperative effort would allow police to remove abused children from the home immediately for their protection and would speed up prosecution without the child having to repeat details of the abuse, he said.

Bob Thompson, a detective with the St. Louis County Police Department, said the department decided to take an active role four years ago and assigned all seven detectives to work with Family Services investigators as soon as a childabuse complaint received. The number of complaints has increased so dramatically, however, the department now is taking only complaints of serious physical injury, Thompson said. From Page 1B said it's unlikely Republicans will substantially support Ramsey, who finished second in a fourman field in the GOP primary for sheriff in 1980. "As far as how the voters vote.

I don't think it will change that much." Martens said. "I do think it will create internal problems within the Republicans in the county. It already has. I think it will leave a bad flavor in many people's mouths for years to come, "Buff Lamb in 1980 came to the Republican Central Committee and asked that we endorse and support his candidacy for sheriff. If he was re-elected, (he said) he would not seek re-election in 1984.

Of course, the Republican Central Committee did do what he requested and he was re-elected. "The members of the Republican Central Committee at that time started to look for a replacement candidate for 1984. They had already rallied around Dwight McNiel prior to Jack Savage or Buff Lamb announcing their candidacies. Several members of the Republican Central Committee were on the committee to elect Dwight McNiel as sheriff." Lamb's endorsement has angered some Republicans, Martens said. "Most of the ones that I've talked to do not feel that it was the proper thing to do," Martens said.

"Some of the Republicans that supported Buff Lamb and Jack Savage feel that it's all right to do such a thing." Donald Rollers, Democratic Party chairman, said he believes the endorsements will aid Ram- Candidate calendar Public appearances scheduled this week by political officeholders and candidates in the Springfield area include: Helen White, Democratic candidate for Greene County commissioner, will conduct a of town meetings to hear citizen concerns.

A retired crane operator for U.S. Steel in Chicago, he "It wasn't possible for all seven of our detectives to handle 3.000 complaints a month," Thompson said. "We found more sexual abuse than we ever believed." Enforcement from county to county is unequal and "in a small county, law enforcement officials are very busy," Pearl said. "I think Greene County probably is more efficient on sexual abuse investigations than many rural counties," Pearl said. "We have the people with the expertise, training and background (in the Springfield Police Department and the Greene County prosecutor's office)." Many changes to protect children have occurred since 1975 when the DFS first was given authority to investigate all complaints of child abuse, said Pamela Pettit, a St.

Louis official with the state agency. would go to the homes to investigate and if we found anything, we had to leave to call the police," Pettit said. "We worked with officers, whoever showed up, and they were not trained in whether they could take a child into protective custody." Now police departments have specially trained officers and many counties send officers to the homes with division employees as soon as a complaint is received, Pettit said. Laws against offenders are more punitive and probation is not permitted for second offenses, Pearl said. we need to back this up is someone to work with these children so they are not further victimized by the legal system, Pearl said.

A child's fear is he'll tell and his father will go to sey. The sheriff's post, which pays $18,850 yearly, is the only contested countywide office in the November election. A total of 15,386 residents are eligible to vote. That figure is up 1,027 from the 14,359 voters eligible for the primary. The county clerk's chief deputy, Doris Deidiker, attributed the increase to the presidential election.

McNiel was fired by Lamb in February from his job as chief deputy after McNiel entered the sheriff's race. McNiel had served as Lamb's chief deputy for three years. In his agressive campaigning and fund-raising prior to the primary, McNiel spent nearly $12,500 outspending Lamb and Savage together nearly 6-to-I. McNiel holds an associate degree in criminal justice administration from Drury College in Springfield. Ramsey, meanwhile, describes his own campaign as a low key, door to door effort.

"The only rote Buff Lamb has played in this campaign is that he has supported me," the 39- year-old Ramsey said. Jack Savage, a candidate in the primary, has supported me in the newspaper. He is a supporter and that's Ramsey's law enforcement career consists of two stints totaling six years with the Ozark Police Department, including two years as police chief, and two years with the sheriff's department.
