The lawmakers were expected quit for the weekend after today's meetings, winding up their fhird week in session. The sales tax bill, recommen ded by the State Budget Com mission, would make permanent an increase from 3 to per cent in the statewide levy.

Spokesmen estimated it would produce about $25 million of the proposed S3S.8 million budget for the coming two years. Rep.

Russell Davis of Hinds County sought unsuccessfully to insert another self 'repealer clause in the measure, making the half cent hike expire in 1968.
