By DAVE CHEAVENS AUSTIN, (AP) The Senate's reasons for turning down A. Harrison as top executive officer of the insurance remained an official secret today, but the uproar of speculation went on.

Harrison, 47, one of the top investigators in the collapse of U.S. Trust and Guaranty and of the ICT Insurance was rejected in a surprise executive session action that set Capitol tongues wagging. He had the reputation during his 10-year tenure as first assistant auditor of a investi. stale tough of scores close looks into state government activities- the shady side. As such, Harrison was assigned by C.

State Auditor H. Cavness to what he found in the sensationally-tangled affairs of U. S. Trust and Guaranty Co. Among other things were names of legislators who been paid retainers A.

B. Shoemake-1 names that continually cropped up in legislative and grand jury investigations.

Dist. Judge C. Woodrow Laughlin, in a judgment entered in August, ruled that Valerio had won the commissioner's post in a write-in vote in the 1956 general election. After the commissioners court failed to seat Weatherly filed a motion in district court asking that the commissioners be declared in contempt of court. Laughlin dismissed the motion and Weatherly carried the contempt request to the Court of Civil Appeals.

Whether Valerio will be able to take office immediately under the appellate court's order remained a question this morning. Sidney P. Chandler, representing the commissioners court i in defense of the suit, said the commissioners would be able to purge themselves of the contempt by filing a. supersedeas bond suspending the district court judg. ment until final disposition of Ramos' appeal.

Chandler said the bond was being prepared this morning and would be filed as soon as Judge Laughlin set an amount. Ramos filed a supersedeas bond on his portion of the judgment shortly after Valerio made moves to have the judgment enforced. Weatherly has contended that Ramos' supersedeas bond came too late and that Valerio qualified for the office before the bond was filed. Any action taken before the bond was filed must stand, Weatherly has argued. It appears certain that Weatherly will again urge this stand if the commissioners court attempts to block the judgment again by filing a supersedeas bond.

"Unless we have assurance in writing within five days," the court opinion stated, "that respondents will carry out the judgment of the trial court, we will proceed to enter judgment holding respondents in contempt of this court." The penalty is a jail sentence, Weatherly said. Still pending in the Fourth Court of Civil Appeals is an argument on the merits of the Valerio case. Weatherly said the oral arguments probably will come up within a few weeks, but the ruling today obliges Duval commissioners to recognize Valerio until after the merits have been determined, or be held in contempt. In another action in the case this morning, the court turned down Weatherly's request to dismiss Ramos' appeal. Weatherly sought the dismissal on the grounds that the appeal was moot since Judge Laughlin had terminated Ramos' temporary district court appointment as 'commissioner.

County Judge Dan Tobin later appointed to the post again, but Weatherly contended that appointment is void on the grounds there was no vacancy to be filled.

Some senators in off-the-record comments on Harrison's rejection insisted that his qualifications were major factor in the closeddoor session at which the matter was considered yesterday. They said that he had not had enough direct insurance experience to qualify Nominations are considered by the Senate in executive session under a constitutional provision for secrecy, Thus there will not be any official explanation of what the Senate did, Harrison himself had no comment, Neither did the governor. Among other speculations resulting from the confirmationsecrecy policy were these: That the action was an indirect slap at Gov. Price Daniel since he named the insurance board that appointed Harrison. The Senate, however.

confirmed the three Daniel appointees who had originally agreed that Harrison was the man for the job because of his executive ability and his reputation for incorruptibility, That the action was an expression of dissatisfaction over progress made thus far in the muchheralded reorganization of the insurance department to answer the scandal charges. Harrison was appointed on June 21 on a temporary basis, named for a two-year term Aug. 5. That the action was the Senate's method of reminding the newly set up insurance board that it holds the ax of rejection over any one it might name to the post. The section of the law giving the Senate this power is unusual in Texas government--for example.

the welfare board names its head. the safety commission names the chief of the department of public safety, without submitting the appointees to the powerful Senate. Some observers of the insurance scene believed that the Senate's action would make it extremely difficult for the insurance board to find an independent, hard-hitting, scrupulous and qualified man to take the job The board itself was left stranded without an administrative officer-so much so that under the law it can not legally pay its help until a new executive head can be found. Tax Troubles Hit Gaillard ploye popular with some types casculated to make a state em- PARIS. -Premier Felix Gaillard's eight-day-old government was threatened with revolt today over new taxes.

Opposition arose from the moderates, who make up more than one-fourth of his National Assembly supporters. Gaillard submitted proposals to the assembly's finance committee to obtain more money for the almost empty treasury. They include levying about $238 million in new taxes and increased corporation taxes. The moderates opposing the proposals are the peasant party and independents. They are expected to water down the tax measures in committee.

That would force Gaillard to ask a vote of confidence on them in the assembly tomorrow. Moderate opposition there might bring down the coalition government.

With an estimated 30 percent of the returns in, Garcia with 000 votes led his nearest opponent by more than 100.000 ballots, The Liberal Party's Joseph Yulo ran second with 300.000 votes while Manuel P. Manahan, youthful political heir to the late Ramon Magsaysay, was third with 250.000. However, Garcia was almost certain to be saddled with an opposition party vice president. The Liberal Party's vice presidential president, popular Diosdado Macapagal, led the field with more than half a million votes and held a two-to-one lead over his rival, Joseph P. Laurel, Jr.

From the start of the campaign playboy Laurel was regarded as the albatross around Gar. cia's political neck. Returns more than proved this point. President Garcia's entrenched machine was too much even for IN FLORIDA Egret Nest Sites Bow To Progress NEW YORK. (AP) The Amegret, a majestic bird ican almost exterminated because once its feathers looked so well on milady's hats, is in trouble again.

Florida real estate development is the difficulty this time, Robert P. Allen, research ornithologist of the National Audubon Society, disclosed the new threat the egret's survival in a report to delegates attending the society's 53rd convention here yesterday. He said the development of Florida, the so-called "heartland" of the species, has eliminated all but two or three egret nesting sites. An immense slaughter of egrets occurred during the last century when their dramatic plumage won high favor as a decoration for women's hats, The Audubon Society led a successful fight to save them. Allen reported that the big wood a huge bird like the egret, also is in jeopardy for the same reasons.

Drought and real estate development have forced the wood ibis to abandon its normal nesting sites in Florida for substitutes in Latin America, Allen said.

The compromise on wages was prepared by international union officials in a meeting with a special committee of the AFL-CIO Executive Council and John R. Steelman, former labor adviser to President Truman. Suffridge said in a statement that Montgomery Ward thus far has failed to bargain in good faith and has proposed "a complete rejection of any improvement in the conditions of the workers we represent."

While they hardly hoped to win. Manahan and his "young turks" did hope to poll enough votes to set themselves up as a force to be reckoned with four years hence.
