Reconversion program shifts into high gear amid long waits
Washington reports the reconversion drive is underway but households face months before most long missing appliances return to stores. The War Production Board will free metal for civilian goods and phase out its priority system for nonmunitions over six months. Refrigerators may not appear until September or October, likely as depots. Buyers will be listed, often far down, with mid 1946 as the likely date for walk in access. Estimates show five to eight year runs for some items like washing machines and vacuum cleaners, while radios may not arrive before early 1946.
