By Jimmy Hatlo HARRISBURG (UPI) Key party caucuses on both sides of the House today may indicate the extent of the hassle looming in the politically-divided Legislature over Gov. David L. Lawrence's tax and budget programs.

House Minority Leader Albert W. Johnson (R-McKean) scheduled an "important" party caucus for 3 p.m. for a discussion of governor's $1,907,003,000 budget, entailing 400 million dollars in new revenues, "before we make a statement on the floor." Johnson and other GOP leaders indicated earlier that the House Democrats may have to go it alone, without any support from the minority. The Democrats control the House, where all tax measures must originate, by a slim 108-102 majority. A total of 106 votes are required for passage of bills and any defections from party ranks or absenteeism could provide a serious roadblock for the majority leadership.

Majority Leader Stephen Mc-Cann (D-Greene) plans a party caucus at 2:30 p.m. in an attempt to enlist solid support from within his own ranks for passage of the tax measures, without help from the GOP. McCann has set a preliminary target date of March 11 for passage of the first of the tax measures, but concedes that may have to be set back if he runs into difficulties. First Looms The initial test may come on the proposed ZM per cent sales tax, which comes up for initial reading in the House today. First reading generally is given without opposition, to place a bill in position for debate or amendment.

The legislation carries out the recommendations of a bipartisan Tax Study Committee, endorsed as a package by Lawrence and designed to increase the levy's yield by 264 million dollars, for a total of 719 million dollars in the 1959-61 fiscal period. In addition to the increase in the rate from 3 per cent, the proposed expansion would cover al coholic beverages, trade-ins, electric and telephone bills, restaurant meals above 10 cents, utility maintenance equipment and tools, and repair and service charges. The tax committee pointed out that the state stands to get an additional 22 million dollars in revenue if the higher sales tax goes into effect April 1. Also up for first reading is a companion bill to boost the pres ent hotel occupancy tax from 3 to 3Vi per cent, and a proposed hike in the cigarette tax from five to six cents a pack to finance payment of the Korean bonusi Other parts of the tax package, consisting of suggested new levies, have not been introduced yet. They include restoration of the penny a bottle tax on soft drinks and taxes on cigars, pipe and chewing tobacco, gross receipts of gas companies, underground gas storage, and intangible per sonal property.

Administration Bills In non-fiscal developments, the governor announced a package of new administration measures would appear in the Legislature this 'week including a proposal that Pennsylvania join in an in terstate compact on mental health. The Keystone State would join with New York, Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Mas sachusetts, Maine, New Hamp shire, Kentucky, Louisiana, Min-nesota and Oregon in the agree- ment suggested by the Council of State Governments. Among the aims would be transfer of patients to an mstitu tion in another state if clinical studies deem such a move advis able, and provision for after-care or supervision of patients on convalescent status or conditional release. Lawrence said other administration bills to make their debut in the General Assembly would: Repeal an act of 1771, which prohibits the sale of clams and oysters in the months without the letters May, June, July and August. Amend the Penal Code to make defacing of state park property a summary offense.

Add radiational control to the functions of the state health secretary. Provide that rules and regulations governing state parks also apply to the Pennsylvania State Park at Erie, Washington Crossing Park and the Valley Forge Park. Permit the state Fish Com-i mission to substitute seasons and creel limits where desirable. The Senate will reconvene at 3 p. m.

and the Jfause at 4:30 p. m. today. A butterfly table is a small drop-leaf table with brackets shaped like wings of a butterfly. FrM booklet Sells yoa ho to prepare for Hw many ub opportunities open to women trained as Practical Nurses.
