NAME CHARLES GEBHARD DEPUTY BANK RECEIVER

Harrisburg, Today.—(AP)—Luther A. Harr, secretary of banking, Monday announced two changes in the list of deputy receivers in the division of closed banks.

The department is liquidating only the trust department of the latter bank, its commercial assets having been taken over by special liquidating trustees. Thomas J. Callahan replaces Walter Oliver as deputy receiver of the five closed banks in Luzerne county.
