By RICH KIRKPATRICK Antedated Press Writer HARRISBURG (AP) Last minute changes and dis- may a the legislative clock to run out without final action on bills to strengthen both campaign reporting and ethics codes for judges and lawmakers.

A conference committee of three Senate and three House members was to meet today to try to agree on an acceptable version of the omnibus campaign bill. Major stumbling blocks include provisions for a fall primary and an election commission to police campaign financing, according to Senate Majority Leader Thomas Lamb, one of the conferees. The campaign bill was sent to conference committee Monday after the Senate refused to concur with House amendments to the measure. Lamb said there are strong feelings against changing the primary from May to September. "A number of political leaders feel there's just not enough time in the fall primary to put the thing (campaign) together.

"There is direct opposition at this time to the whole concept of the (election) commission," he said. Among the provision's criticis are C. Delores Tucker, commonwealth secretary, whose department would lose some power to the new commission. A number of lawmakers have lined up behind Mrs. Tucker, Lamb indicated.

The Republican-controlled House also wants the commission members picked from lists compiled by legislative leaders. The Senate prefers to let the governor control the selections, subject to its-advice and consent. "The thing is up in the air, that's all I can say," Lamb said. Prospects for action on the ethics bill dimmed when Senate Democrats postponed a'second consideration of the measure. Lamb said some members had indicated they wanted to offer amendments and the delay will permit them to do so.

But time is short for both bills. The ethics bill must be read on two more days before it can be passed. It would then Suspected Guerrilla Bases Israelis Shell Lebanon By ASSOCIATED PRESS Israel shelled suspected Arab guerrilla bases in Lebanon through the night after a terrorist suicide raid left four Israelis dead at the border town of Beit Shean. However, the shelling was not considered a direct reprisal for the raid. Military sources and border residents said Israeli guns have been pumping shells nightly into southern Lebanon in an attempt to pin down Palestinian guerrilla bases there.

Lebanese sources said their army was on the alert for retaliatory Israeli raids across the border. Premier Rashid Solh said: "Israel always invents pretexts to attack Lebanon, although we have repeatedly declared that we are not responsible for guerrilla raids." Solh said his government a a i measures to protect Lebanon and all residents," including the 18 Palestinian refugee camps in the country. Israel and the Palestinian guerrillas traded threats of new attacks on each other in the wake of the Tuesday raid at Beit Shean, in which the three Palestinian raiders also were killed. "We are determined to remove the guerrilla policy with force wherever and whenever we can find the in Israel, in the Arab states and all over the world," Israeli Information Minister Aharon Yariv told a news conference in Jerusalem. The Marxist Popular Democratic Front, which announced in Damascus that it was responsible for the raid on Beit Shean, said it would continue to attack "where the enemy least expects until Israel recognizes our rights and existence, and until a secular democratic Palestine state is established." "We still hold the olive branch," said a spokesman for the guerrilla group, "but we find it inevitable to use the rifle which we also hold with the other hand." This was a reference to the speech last week to the United Nations General Assembly by guerrilla chief Yasir Arafat, who said he came before the assembly bearing an olive branch and a gun.

Israeli a were reported cruising off the coast of southern Lebanon, where they have made two attacks in the past three weeks. The Lebanese Defense Ministry put its army on the alert, and the Palestinian guerrillas throughout Lebanon were also alerted. "The casualties of Beit Shean are an example of the peace and harmony projected for this country by Arafat and his band of killers," said an Israeli spokesman. But a PLO spokesman at the United Nations said he felt no embarrassment because of the raid. He said the fact that the Israeli troops did not negotiate with the guerrillas before storming the apartment building they had seized proved Israel's "addiction to violence," and the raid should be an embarrassment to Israel.

He also expressed the PLO's "deep sense of sorrow for the innocent victims who fell in the crossfire after Israeli authorities decided to storm the building." The U.S. State Department condemned the "tragic spectacle of a terrorist attack on innocent civilians." District Thefts Probed A rash of thefts is continuing to plague police in this district.

Dubbed, "The Clean and Green Bill," it would give farmers real estate tax breaks in exchange Filipino Youth In B.C. WASHINGTON (AP) A 16-year-old Filipino youth who was sent to the United States after his father held the Philippine ambassador at gunpoint was reunited with his family today. Appearing tired but calm, Napoleon Lechoco Jr. was embraced by his mother at suburban Dulles International Airport as he completed a 10.000-mile trip across the Pacific. "I'm very happy to be here," the teen-ager said.

His mother, saying "My son is so tired," put her arm around him and led him to a waiting car. An attorney for the family said they would try to have the boy see his father as soon as possible. The boy's father threw down his gun and surrendered to police early Tuesday at the Philippine Embassy chancery after Manila authorities agreed to send the youth to his family. During a stopover in Honolulu, the young man told newsmen he was "going to be very, very happy to see my parents and brothers and sisters again." The rest of his family emigrated to the United States two years ago. During a later stop in San Francisco, the Lechoco youth said, "I think he should not have done such a thing." Escorted by Philippine Col Frederico Navarro, chief of a of the i i i presidential guard battalion, the youth also told reporters at the airport that he had been free to leave the Philippines since last September but remained to finish school and help his grandfather.

Navarro also insisted that the youth previously had planned to fly to the United States "in a couple of days" and that the father's action had been unnecessary. "It was just a coincidence. He a a i a anytime," Navarro said. Philippine Secretary of Tourism Jose Aspiras had told newsmen Monday night that the Lechoco youth was under investigation by the Manilla government and that this accounted for the delay in issuing him a travel permit. Aboard the same Philippine Airlines flight were three children of i i i Amb a a a Romualdez, who had been held hostage by Napoleon Lechoco Sr.

The father was not able to be on hand at the airport for his son's arrival. He has been charged with assaulting and abducting an official of a foreign government. U.S. District Judge George L. Hart Jr.

committed Lechoco to a local hospital Tuesday for a series of mental tests. Letter Carriers Meet Saturday Branch 520, National Assn. of Letter Carriers, will meet on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. at the W-3-PIE Radio Club House on the old Pittsburgh Rd. Entertainment Tonite 7 P.M.

High grain prices have forced many ranchers to sell their animals at a loss rather than buy expensive feed.
