HARRISBURG <IP^—The ohalr man of the Senate Finance Committee predicted that the House - approved income - sales tax bills would be rejected in the Senate as a revenue-raising package. Sen. EMward J. KessJer, R., Lanoasteer, discounted the pos' sibility the program would be pushed across by a solid Demo¬ cratic minority bloc with the help of some Republican sen¬ ators. "I don't believs the package will pass—that's my personal opinion." Kessler said. "I do not agree with reports there are six Rppublican senators for it and I don't believe there ar* 20 Democrats for it." Will Obey Caucus Kessler, a foe of an Income tax and a proponent of a sales tax as a means of raising neces¬ sary revenue, reiterated he would abide by the decision of the Republican oauoue on whether or not his committee should report the bills to the floor next week. '1 would not place my Judg¬ ment above that of the caucus," he said. "If the caucus feels It is politically best, or best from a financial standpoint to bring them out. they will come to the floor for a vote." The statement was made after he was asked whether there was a feeling in Senate Republican ranks that rejection of the program and insistence on an outright sales tax at 3% wita» a Rapi»blicaa tag, migbi provide Democrats with potent campaign amibition In this year's presidentiai and state wide eleotlons. Package Deal The income tax Is the Demo¬ cratle phase of the program that passed the House last Tuesday night, while the "aelec- tlve" sale* tax on ssrsn eate- gories of duralble and hixury items is GOF-sponsored. Also in the package Is a Republican gross receipts tax, ailso a 2% tax on food, drink and lodgings in public establishments. He said the decision "one way or another" will be made Sun¬ day night at a meeting here to which all Republican senators were invited, but that the bills, in any event, would not come to the floor before Tuesday.
