DuIIum Asks
InstulIment
Licensing

BALTIMORE, July % (AP) =.
The licensing of anyone who
sells anything on the Install
ment plan, including Bible
statesmen" was proposed yes
terday by John w. Dallam,
Maryland small loans deputy
administrator.
Mr.. Dallam told a Legisla-
tive Council Committee the Ii
censing and regulation of in
stallment-p lus-interest sellers
are necessary to protect the
gullible and unsuspecting pub
lie" from widespread abuses in
the consumer-finance field.
He promised to give the
committee, headed by Senator
Joseph A. Bertorelli, Demo-
crat Of Baltimore, a detailed
report on such abuses today.
Mr.. Dallem said sellers of
automobiles, home appliances
and other merchandise charge
more than the 6 per cent loan
interest rate set by Maryland
law but are exempt from this
restriction because their tran
SactionS are called conditional
sales contracts" instead Of
| loans.
Among abuses cited by Mr..
Dallam was the practice of
some companies which. he said,
require a buyer to pay for life
insurance during the term Of
his installment contract. But in
the event of death they retain
the entire insurance benefits
instead of merely the amount
still owed on the contract, he
said.
In other cases, he said, COM
panies charge double or triple
the proper rate for such insur-
ance.

HEADLINE PERSONALITY
GenioI Ted DoIton's Soft Sell
Gave Byrd Team q Hard Time

His circle of personal friends
even includes his political rival
Senator Byrd. They have
hunted together a number OF
times.
Senator Dalton was born SO
years ago at Dugspur in Car
roll County. Va, the seventh
of 10 children. His father,
Currell Dalton, farmed and
owned a general store. The
Daltons named their newest son
Theodore Roosevelt Dalton.
When young Ted Dalton was
II his father moved to a farm
in Pulaski County. The future
State Senator went of TO Will
liam and Mary where he earned
his law degree in 1924. After
graduation, he hung out his
shingle in Radford and has
been there ever since.
Senator Dalton's first venture
into politics as candidate for
commemorative Attorney was
unsuccessful. In 1923, he made
the race again and won He
served eight years.
Elected in Write-in
He lost his first bid for the
General Assembly as a candi-
date for the House of Delegates
but in 1914 was elected to the
State Senate by a write-in vote
that was drummed up in a 10
day campaign.
Senator Dalton and his wife
Mary, live in white Colonial
house at Radford, with a pack
If hunting dogs.
They have one son, John
who received his law degree in
1857 from the University OF
Virginia and who has been
mentioned as possible success
sor to his father in the State
Senate, assuming the Judicial
appointment is confirmed. And
there appears to be little doubt
about that Nnither Of Vir.
ginia's two Democratic Sena-
tors has volunteered any op-
position to the nomination
which now goes before the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee. The
nomination is for appointment
as United States District judge
for the Western District of Vir-
ginia, replacing Judge John
Paul who is retiring.

When Ted Dalton steps up
to the Federal bench, Virginia
Republicans will be just about
bankrupt for gubernatorial
material.
The lanky son of Virginia'S
southwest hill country whose
judicial nomination was sent
to the Senate yesterday by
President Eisenhower has been
his States own Nj Republican
for better than five years.
He established mis- reputation
as the COPS champion vote
getter in 1858, when he came
close to being Democratic Vir-
glnia's first Republican COVER
nor since reconstruction days.
His opponent in that election
was a DIFFERENTIATION man,
Democrat Thomas B, Stanley,
who won with scant SIS per
cent of the vote. That was a
near miracle in a State accus-
toned to settling things in the
Democratic primary. The mar
row margin of defeat was even
more spectacular for a Repub-
lican candidate who had to
wage virtually one-man cam
paign in many parts OF the
State.
Foes Too Strong
Four years later, the State
Senator from Radford again
was his party's nominee for
Governor. This time, Senator
Byrd, Democrat of Virginia,
took a personal hand in the
campaign. Senator Dalton
found himself running against
the Democrat nominee, j.
Lindsay Almond. jr., against
Senator Byrd, against massive
resistance, and against Little
Rock where indignation troubles
erupted in the midst of the
Virginia campaign.
His own pupil assignment
plan and criticism of massive
resistance were too moderate
for Virginia in 1857. He knew
it. Several months before the
election. he privately esti-
mated to reporters that the
outcome would be . to
against him. He Jared a bit
better than that, collecting
about SO per cent of the vote.
In any State where Republi-
cans are not so badly outnum-
bered, Senator Dalton would
have wound up in the executive
mansion years ago.
Affable Greeter
He meets people with the
ease of a railroad conductor
gfeetlng new passengers, ana
quickly makes friends on
first name basis. a
Once during a gGbernatorial
race when his reputation as a
campaigner was established,
Senator Dalton was waiting at
G. o. P. headquarters in Rich
mond while the local commit
tee argued over a minor issue.
While the argument went on.
Senator Dalton flung his coat
over his shoulders, walked out
on the sidewalk and started
shaking hands with passers by.

views, he will not get into the
squabble.
II am not too happy, however

II think Butler has done al

put a little needle in the leaders
but politicians should not be 81
thin skinned.
"I'll always stand with But
Ter. He has the confidence o.

said. His statements might
get him into trouble but the
party has to stand for some
thing. We just can't pusSyfoot

CriticiZes Tawes
Mrs. Otensek recently at

pointing more women for State
posts and issued a threat the
women might withdraw sup
port from him as a "favorite-
son candidate"
She coupled this with a foot
note that "all the women are

answer Mrs. Otensek's attack,
which had the backing Of the

The Governor said he felt
the Butler JohnSon-Raybu

He also said that there is
interest in the smaller States
forming a bloc to give them a
stronger voice in the presiden-

Such a move has been the
subject of informal talk and
