Dim Future Seen for Text Bill Senate Bill No. 1 to eliminate the four per cent sales tax on text books ;will probably not come out of committee during this Session of the state Senate, Sen. Jo Hays, D-Centre, said last night. The bill is now in the finance committee of which Hays is vice chairman. It has been in this committee since Jan. 24, Hays said that it has not yet been con sidered by the committee. THE BILL IS an amendment, to the "Selective Sales and Use Tax" which was passed March 6, 1956. It extends exemptions of this act to include "textbooks -91 d for use in colleges, univer 'ties and educational -institutions r schools approved by the Def lartment of Public Instruction of the Commonwealth of Pennsyl vania." The act already exempts re .publications sold by re ligious groups, Bibles. mail order catalogues and direct mail adver tising literature. If the bill does come out of committee before the end of the present session, Hays said, "the chances of it passing are very re mote" The bill probably would not pass because :no one can deter mine the amount of revenue that Party Holds Caucus For Congressmen The University party held a caucus for interested USG Con gressmen Thursday night.
