Austin Some observers now
predict that Legislative inves-
tigations of insurance compan-
ies will continue beyond tho
sessions end.
Panels in both houses are
delving into circumstances lead-
ing to the bankruptcy of tho
ICT Insurance Co. of Dallas.
The more they investigate tho.
more widespread and complicat-
ed the involvements.
Recent disclosures from the
testimony Former Insurance
Commission Chairman Garland
Smith was on several occasions
the guest of Ben Jack Cago
onetime ICT head on pleasure
trips. Smith's son-in-law Max
Wayne Rychlik received $8400
in salary from Cage for a jdb
with no duties. 1ST lost $2000-
000 in a series of stock trans-
actions with Pierce Brooks
head of National Bankers Lifo
Insurance Co. of Dallas.
A Senate committeeman said
that an independent investiga-
tor had been hired to look into
the affairs of at least five oth-
er insurance companies.
Meanwhile the Senate passed
a bill by Sen. William S. y of
Victoria to reorganize the In-
surance Commission. It abolish-
es the present board and substi-
tutes an executive director and
a part-time three-man policy
board.
An amendment by Sen.
Frank Owen of El Paso would
require the Insurance Commis-
sion to move out of its head-
quarters. It occupies some eight
floors of the International Life
Insurance Co. building in Aus-
tin. I "ttrn nnnl ntwlrwl 4-Vin- 4-Un
state should not be paying .to
an insurance company over
which it exercises control. Op-
ponents counter that insurance
companies of Texas pay tho
rent and the money does not
come out of the state's general
revenue fund.
They say further that if the
commission returned to the old
LanU Office building now in
adequate for the enlarged com-
mission the state wolud be pro
viding free space and forcing
other departments to move
and pay rent.
They also point out that there
is no other building in Austin
large enough to house the In-
surance Commission.
Gov. Price Daniel is support
ing a bill in the House by Rep
Marshall O. Bell of San An-
tonio which would ' provide a
full-time insurance board. The
Scnato version is not the Gov-
ernor's bill.
New Commission Pushed
Governor Daniel has put the
"emergency" label on his re-
quest for a State Law Enforce-
ment Commission.
Rep. R. H. Cory of Victoria
submitted the Governor's pro-
posal in a bill co-signed by J02
House members.
Commission's duty would be
to "put the spotlight of truth"
on charges of official miscon-
duct. Twelve members would in-
clude a chairman appointed by
the Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court plus 11 other
members named by grand jury
foremen in the state's judicial
districts.
Daniel Backs TPA Bills
Simultaneously with-his an-
nouncement -of a Crime Com-
mision Bill Governor Daniel
gave unqualified endorsement
of 15 "Better Government" leg-
islative measures recommended
by the Texas Press Association.
Daniel extended his personal
compliments to TPA and the
press of Texas for "unselfish
effort in the fight lo bring bet-
ter government to the State and
its citizens."
In his endorsement the Gov
ernor said "the 15 bills sponsor-
ed by the press of Texas would
supply some badly needed laws
ana strengthen existing laws.
They have my unqualified en
dorsement."
New Water Board
Another phase of the water
conservation program h a s
reached conference committee
stage. Bills to create the Texas
Water Development Board pas-
sed both houses.
Senate version -calls for a five
member board: House three
members. Board's responsibil-
ity would be to administer the
$200000000 bond issue. Money
is to be loaned to local districts
for conservation projects.

limits has stirred the perennial
controversy between the motor
freight and railroad industries.
Truckers are pushing a bill
to increase tho limit now 68-
; contend that putting the in-
creased weight on an extra
axle would mean no more wear
and tear on roads than present
lonus. xrucKers uicy add paiu
$97000000 or 41 per cent of
state highway use taxes in
1956.
A State Highway Depart-
ment bridge designer said that
a 72000-pound load would shor-
ten the lives of Texas bridges.
A railroad spokesman warned
that truckers 'can't pay enough
for the damage done to Texas
highways."
Loan Laws Urged
Measures to regulate small
loan businesses are being stud-
ied in the House. At committee
hearings Former Sec'y of State
Tom Reavlcy the Texas Junior
Bar and a military" official
made strong appeals for loan
regulation. They cited cases of
interest and charges allegedly
running to nearly 300 per cent.
A bill by Rep. Tony Korloth
of Sherman would license per-
sons making loans up to ?500
allow 10 per cent interest and
other charges up to 3 per cent
a month on unpaid balance of
less than $100.
Mental Health Department
Session's trend toward reor-
ganizing stae agencies has ex-
tended to mental hospitals.
A last-minute Senate bill in-
corporates the recommendations;
of a national authority who sur-
veyed the Texas hospital sys-
tem. Dr. Francis J. Gcrty of
Chicago proposed "disentang-
ling" . mental hospitals from
"unrelated services" (tuberculo-
sis hospitals and special
schools). He also suggested a
model demonstration program
at a new 500-bed hospital in the
Houston-Galveston area.
New bill would create a De-
partment of Mental Health un-
ricr the present State Board
for Hospitals and Special
Schools. Texas Medical Associa-
tion has endorsed the plan.
