Bipartisan Plan Would Name State Judges by Commission
Parkersburg West Virginia June 25 A plan to name judges through bipartisan commissions instead of direct elections was urged by President Fred L. Davis of the West Virginia Bar Association at the Parkersburg Rotary club. The proposal calls for a commission of laymen lawyers and a presiding judge to submit three names to the governor, who would appoint one for a term ending at the next election. The public would vote on whether the appointee remains in office, with reelection possible only if the nominating process is repeated. Davis argued the system would depoliticize courts uphold merit and attract better jurists.

Two Columbia Gas system officials asked the Public Service Commission to authorize restrictions on natural gas sales for space heating in West Virginia.
