WPB Permits
0utputofhi||ion
Refrigerdtors
High Priority Users
To Fill Needs Before
Stores Get Any

The War Production Board has
set a production limit of 1,l55, 900
domestic mechanical refrigerators
during the rest of 1945 and the first
three months of 1916, but whether
civilians will receive any will depend
on Army and other essential de-
mands.
The agency explained that curbs
on refrigerator manufacture were
necessary because of shortage of
sheet steel. The industry will be
held to 655, 900 units during the cur
rent and fourth quarters of this
year. and to 100000 in the first
quarter of next year.
Although priorities have been as
signed for manufacture of 265, 200
refrigerators this quarter, WPB ex-
poets that not more than 10000 gill
be produced.
All of those will become part OF
the frozen stockpile and will be re-
served for hospitals, the military
and other high priority customers
None of this group will be sold at
retail. WPB said, however. that ii
may be possible to release some later
after essential demands have been
met.
The stockpile of refrigerators
which have not been manufactured
since the start of the war, has
dropped considerably and must be
replenished before consumers can
have a chance at new models, it
was explained.
Among the manufacturers given
quotas were General Electric, 49,078
units during the third quarter; Frig-
idaire, 58,3l8; Nash Kelvinator, 49,
749; Seeger-Sunbeam. 26.49o, and
Servel, 20,945.

Last-MinuteC Campaign
For Appointed Judge
Made in Alexandra

The Alexandria Juvenile Welfare
Association today was making a
last-minute drive for votes in to-
morrow's primary to make the new
ofice of juvenile judge an ap-
pointive one.
In its efforts to secure an ap-
pointed judge, the welfare group
had the backing of former Judge
Thurman Arnold, Lowell Mellett,
columnist and former presidential
administrative assistant, and Alex
andria's Mayor William T. wilkins.
Alexandria only local issue at
the polls tomorrow, the question
of whether the new judgeship
created In May at special session
of the State Legislature, should be
filled by election or appointment by
the City Council has been a con-
troversial issue since before the
ofice was actually created.
Council Favors Election.
On two occasions the City Coun-
Gil has gone on record fayoring an
elected judge, although it originally
backed an appointed jurist.
Mr.. Arnold declared the judge
should be appointed because the
post Is unique In its requirements"
and the appointee should be selected
only after investigation of his So
cial case work understanding and
his legal experience.
The Juvenile Welfare Association,
an outgrowth of group repre-
senting the Parent-Teacher Asso-
citation, the Ministerial Association,
the Medical Society and the Coun-
Gil of Social Agencies have been
working to convince voters that the
State code calls for the appointment
of juvenile judge.
This method, the group says, is
favored by the National Probation
Society on the ground that the
Judge must have specialized train
ing I'M social work as well as legal
experience and that such a person
would not be likely to enter in a
popularity contest" at the polls.
Other Officers Appointed.
The group points out that the
health officer, superintendent Of
schools and other city officials re-
quiring specialized training also are
appointed.
An anonymous group has spon-
sored advertisements calling for the
choice Of the elective method, basing
their arguments on the right of the
electorate to choose a judge.
Groups who have indorsed the ap-
pointive method are the PTA, the
Council of Social Agencies. the Alex
andria Woman's Club, the Civitan
Club, the Ministerial Association, the
Family Service Society, the Women's s
Auxiliary of Christ Church, the
Committee of 100, the Woman's
Citizens League, the Business and
Professional Woman's Club and the
Odd Fellows In addition to the
