But this would not produce new revenue in a massive sum.

Therefore, the sources said, Rockefeller decided to recommend a statewide sales tax of at least 4 per cent and possibly 5 per cent. The exact figure has not been decided. The tax would apply to all retail sales, except food and drugs and probably clothing. Rockefeller's fiscal experts have estimated that a 4 per cent levy would produce close to $1 billion and a 5 per cent tax would produce more than $1.2 billion. The state would not keep all of the money, however, because New York City and five Upstate counties now levy sales taxes.

The state could not expect to take away this revenue, which is expected to total about $565 million this year, from them.

(AP) Gov. Rockefeller has decided, at least tentatively, to propose a statewide retail sales tax of 4 or 5 per cent, highly placed sources reported today. Depending upon how much of the revenue would be left to local governments, some of whom already impose such a levy, the tax could yield more than $500 million to help balance his new budget.

The mechanics have not been worked out, but it is assumed that sales taxes now imposed by local governments would be dropped automatically or that, at any rate, the system would not impose the full state tax on top of the local taxes. Any proposal the Republican governor might make would be subject to approval of the Legislature, now under Democratic control for the first time. Democratic leaders have taken no position on the question. If they come out strongly against the idea in the next few weeks, the sources said, Rockefeller might try another approach. The governor has acknowledged that he has been considering a sales tax to meet demands for greater state spending, and his office maintains publicly that no final decision has been made.

Sources close to the governor report, however, that Rockefeller has concluded there is no acceptable alternative to a sales tax to raise the large chunk of new revenue he needs. In late fall, fiscal aides in the administration said Rockefeller faced a $400-million gap between potential revenues and minimum spending levels in his new budget. Since then, he has proposed major increases in state aid for public schools and in per capita aid and other forms of spending. As a result, the gap is said now to approach $600 million, and the budget is expected to exceed $3.2 billion. An administration official, who asked not to be identified by name, said the governor obviously would not recommend such spending increases without having a "broad base" tax in mind.

The only other available big revenue-producer is the state income tax, which now yields about $1.3 billion a year. To extract $500 million from this tax, Rockefeller would have to recommend a 40 per cent increaseand he regards this as politically impossible. The other alternative would be to prepare a "package" of various tax increasessuch as a cigarette-tax boost, higher the Laotian countryside, photographing Communist installations along the Ho Chi Minh Trail.

Among other points, he pro.

(AP) The element of illegal traffic in narcotics has been injected into the investigation of the New Year's Eve slaying of a Sacketts Harbor man, his wife and his brother.

The three, all with police records, were Peter Egan, 28, his wife, Barbara, 24, and the brother, Gerald, 19. They were found shot to death at a rest area off Route 81, about two miles north of here. A State Police official said Monday night that the investigation into the gangland-style slayings was "starting to develop on the possible implications" that narcotics traffic in connection with syndicated crime was involved. Lt. Supervisor Henry Res ling of the State Bureau of Criminal Investtigation would not elaborate, however, the possible links between narcotics traffic and the slayings.

He did say that numerous trips by the trio to the Buffalo area were among factors under investigation. Each of the Egans was shot twice in the back of the head. The brothers were found inside Gerald's station wagon. Mrs. Egan was sprawled beside the vehicle.

5 Daily Orange Founder Dies BUFFALO (AP) Irving R. Templeton, attorney, or mer journalist and founder of the student newspaper, the Daily Orange, in his undergraduate days at Syracuse University, died Monday in Buffalo General Hospital. He was 83. Templeton, a native of Buffalo, suffered a stroke shortly before Christmas, was hospitalized and then released to spend the holidays at his home. He returned to the hospital last week after a relapse.

Templeton, a 1904 graduate of Syracuse, founded the Daily Orange in his senior year, was the newspaper's first editor and aided in establishing the Orange Publishing Co. which published it. By ROBERT T. GRAY ALBANY, N.Y. (AP)Democrats struggled today to compromise a bitter leadership squabble and spare themselves the embarassment of failure to organize the Senate when the Legislature convenes Wednesday.

Party leaders looked to a Senate caucus tonight to produce a majority leader who could step in Wednesday and bring order out of the indecision of the past few weeks. As it is, the Democrats, taking control of the Legislature for the first time in 30 years, will have to rely largely on Republicans to help them launch their new regime. Leadership fights have prevented the Democrats from filling the hundreds of legislative jobs open to them. Holdover Republican appointees will be at their desks Wednesday to assist the Democrats until the new majority members name their own aides. Gov.

Rockefeller's seventh annual message Wednesday will mark the formal opening of the 188th legislative session. Ile will address a joint meeting of the Senate and Assembly in the Assembly chamber. The Senate has been the scene of the major Democratic dispute. Sen. Julian B.

Erway of Albany was named majority leader by a vote of Democratic senators who will serve in the new Legislature. But oppostion to him, on the ground he was too conservative, sprang up immediately among New York City liberals. Erway lost substantial support when he became the target of charges that, among other things, he had opposed civil rights legislation. The leader of the anti-Erway movement, Sen. Seymour Thaler of Queens, contended last night that the Albany senator could not achieve election Wednesday.

At the peak of his strength, Erway had 29 of the 33 Democratic votes. He will need 30 votes to achieve election as majority leader if all 58 senators are present Wednesday. The specific vote will be on the election of a Senate president pro tern, in which all senators participate. The winner automatically becomes majority laden Erway, who has the backing of Democratic State Chairman William H. McKeon and several other party leaders, has stood fast, maintaining the original vote was binding.

A new vote is expected at tonight's caucus, however. In the Assembly, Stanley Steingut of Brooklyn was designated as speaker at a Democratic meeting.

Ford of Michigan hung an "under new management" sign up on the White House Republican leadership today and said the emphasis now is on initiative, not reaction. Ford said in an interview he wants the minority party to press its own solutions to national problems. This is the "policy of alternatives" long advocated by the group of younger Republicans who pushed Ford to the leadership in two steps the chairmanship of the Republican Conference two years ago and the top minority post Monday.

S.

Eliot, one of the 20th century's greatest poets. Eliot, 76, a native of the United States and a British subject since 1927, died at his home in London Monday night. The cause of death was not announced. A voice of the "Lost Generation" between the world wars, Eliot revolutionized poetry and also was a noted critic and successful playwright. He won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1948.

The same year he was awarded the Order of Merit, one of Britain's highest honors. Last year he received the U.S. Medal of Freedom, highest civil honor the president can bestow. Eliot's best-known poem was "The Waste Land," published in 1922. Other major poems included "The Love Song of J.

Alfred Prufrock" (1917), "The Hollow Men" (1925), "Ash Wednesday" (1930) and "The Cocktail Party," in 1950. "The Waste Land" depicted an age of uncertainty, despair, squalor and decay through which a wanderer struggled in the hope of finding an abiding faith but met only disillusionment. Eliot later was converted to Anglo-Catholicism and came to believe there was a way out of the waste land. In "Murder in the Cathedral" and "The Cocktail Party" he developed the thesis that Western man must choose between a pagan society and a way of life guided by Christian principles.
