By JOHN BECKLER WASHINGTON House Judiciary Committee has voted to make public most of the evidence it has received in secret impeachment hearings during the past seven weeks. When the material will be released remains unclear but some members say all evidence relating to the Watergate cover-up, including the committee's versions of White House tapes, could be made public in a few days.

Chairman Peter W. Rodino who will have the right to edit the material before it is released, said Tuesday he hoped the entire record of more than 7,000 pages would be available for public scrutiny when the committee starts debating proposed articles of ipeachment, now scheduled for July 15. "THIS IS information on which one can make an evaluation," said Rodino. "It should come to the attention of the public." The 22-16 vote came on a motion by Rep. Wayne Owens D-Utah.

Most of the evidence to be released consists of factual statements bearing on the conduct of President Nixon and his aides without any in- terpretaion or conclusioas. However, it also includes the evidence: that led the Watergate tfrand jury to vote 19 to 0 to name Nixon as an unimlicted ro-ronspiratorin the Watergate JOLLY NINE Mrs Fxlna Smith of 1129 1st st NK entertained members of her Hunro Thursday at the Pmcs Restaurant, Canton. went to Mrs. Cleo Manner, Mrs. Evelyn Jasinski, Mrs Arvme Kicker and Mrs.
