in politics as her husband is.

was judge of the Hastings
Court (the equivalent of a
circuit court in Roanoke.
Va, and was supposed to stay
out of partisan politics. Mrs.
Almond did the politicking
for the family.
Long active in the Demo-
cratic Women's Club in
Roanoke, and its president
for one period, 80" (for
Josephine) has labored on
behalf of many Virginia
Democrats.
Some observers have sug-
gested that if Mr.. Almond
had for any reason had to
withdraw from the governor
ship race, his wife would have
made a capable substitute.
Fifty-six years old. Mrs.
Almond has greying dark
brown hair, brown eyes, and
q matronly figure.
A Good Speaker
She has made many po-
litical speeches during her
years as an active worker in
the Democratic vineyards.

conviction and effectiveness.
Strangely, perhaps, since
he has run for Office several
times, she never has made a
political speech on behalf Of
her husband.

is to go along with him on
campaigns, to lend moral
support and to look after
him." she said yesterday by
telephone from r 20 a n o ke e,
where she had gone home to
vote.

"Of course, ! would be
happy to go any place my
husband wanted" she added.
But I think it would be aw-
fully nice for him to wind up
his career of service to the,
people of California by serv-

crossed. I hope the voters of
California will continue to be
as kind to him as they have

usual sense, Mrs. Almond
says. My hobbies are poll

She loves to read, but

time for it any more" She
also is very interested in
taking care of my home,
which I do without servants,

she says.

Virginia, just fine.
Mrs. Knight, a statueSque,
rk-haired beauty of 80 who
became the Governors bride
just three years ago, frankly
admits she is enchanted with
Washington.
Il fell in love with the city
the first time I visited it,
three years ago, and I still
feel the same way" she said,
glancing out of the window
of her Sheraton
Hotel room with a pleased
smile.
Mrs. Knight won't quite
admit the truth of earlier
published stories, which sug-
gested that the Governor
would decide to switch from
the governorship to the Sen
ate race because Virginia
wants to go to Washington.
But she almost does by i'm

met Lindsay Almond-who
had been born in Charlottes-

to stay with an uncle in
Roanoke in 1921 while he
took his bar exam.
The couple met again two
years later, when Almond
came back to Roanoke to set
up a law practice. and they
were married in 1925. She
did a little substitute teach

during the two years between
her graduation and her mar

Insurance and Securities
Executives Watch Test
The test as to whether VALIC
is an investment company is be-
ing watched across the Nation
and especially by life insurance
companies, which are said to be
divided on the question Of vari-
able annuities.
While Metropolitan Life has
been pictured as leader of q
group opposing this type Of sales
contract. some 100 other life in
Surance companies are said to be
considering its adoption and are
expected to move into this ape
parently lush field if the SEC
fails to win jurisdiction. Pruden-
tial has been credited as leader
Of this latter group.
Securities dealers, many Of
whom look on variable annuities
as a new type Of unregulated
competition. also are watching
the case. The NASD has inter-
vened and become a party COM
plainant.
Little VALIC of Washington,
OF which John D. Marsh is
controlling stakeholder, pro-
vides a test case. Mr.. Marsh
also has the major inter-
est in j. D. Marsh and Associates
and Marsh Estate Planning AS
