W. Pace, chairman of the Utah Liquor Commission, this morning informed The that Wallace Grange, Price, has been appointed manager of the Price liquor store effective August 1. At the present time the store is being managed by Oliver Oster-berwho was sent here from Salt Lake City following the dismissal of Mr. Culp. The Liquor Commission, according to Mr. Pace, considered four applications for the position and felt that Mr. Granges qualifications and recommendations were right for the job. Sun-Advoc- g, At arraignment proceedings in the city court of Price yesterday, Mr. Culp waived preliminary hearing and the matter was bound over to the district court for further action. The Price agency had been operated under contract to the state with the management receiving a flat sum each month for salary and expenses. It was reported following investigation of the shortage, that irregularities in the reports and in bank deposits extended back over a period of about 18 months and that a check was started when the agencys reports were late in reaching the state office.

As far as Mr. Hanks was informed last Friday, only two youngsters who had received any Salk vaccine had contracted polio. These two had all the symptoms of the disease, including the spinal test, but they had no paralysis. They were in the hospital only four days and they are now completely recovered. Only one case of polio has been reported from Carbon county thus far in the current "polio season. Elsie Tabor, 7, daughter of Earl and Zina Tabor, Price, is now in the Utah Valley hospital at Provo. The youngster had not received any of the Salk vaccine. Same counties have reached a 100 per cent immunization against polio. Among these are Washington, Piute, Juab and Wayne.
