The controversial college-deferment issue evoked the sharpest debate as the House voted 362 to 9 to extend for 4 years the existing military draft law, due to expire June 30. The House-passed version clashes with a Senate bill that would give the President broad authority to revise draft policy. Another difference is the House's insistence that Congress have the final say over whether a lottery-style selection system can be used as President Johnson desires. The differences must be resolved in a Senate-House conference committee. One member after another denounced as disgraceful last night's proceedings, but the majority of those present tired after a marathon session the night before repeatedly voted lo limit debate and shouted down amendments.

Snow, Rain Lash New England But Weekend Will Be Nicer Danger Of War In Mideast Growing From The Record Wire Services Wives and children of United States diplomats began a speeded-up evacuation from the United Arab Republic and Israel today. They packed up after American-aided attempts to head off an Israel-Arab war showed few results and a semi-official Cairo newspaper said the United States was heading into conflict with the Arab nations. A dozen families from the U. S. Embassy in Israel left Tel Aviv last night for Rome after the State Department ordered all dependents of U.

S. diplomats to leave Israel and Egypt within 48 hours. The evacuation also started from Cairo. More than 500 women and children were covered by the order. In Ottawa, a Canadian Government informant said President Johnson told Prime Minister Lester B.

Pearson at their conference yesterday he may propose a Big Four summit conference if U. N. efforts for peace in-the Middle East do not succeed. U. N.

Secretary-General U. Thant returned to New York last night after talks with President Gamal Abdel Nasser and other Egyptian officials. He was expected to report Egypt's position to the Security Council this weekend and ask what should be done next. Nasser reportedly agreed to revival of the U. N.

(Continued on A-5, Column 4) Heavy rain, snow, and gale winds swept wide areas in New England as the nation prepared for a 4-day Memorial Day weekend. Eight inches of snow were reported at East Burke, Vt, and 7 inches in mountain areas of New Hampshire from yesterday's spring storm. Snow mixed with rain also fell in Windsor Locks, the latest snow in that city in more than 60 years.

Travel Firms Hurt By Mideast Crisis degrees, one degree below the previous mark set in 1949. But the weatherman confidently predicts milder temperatures tomorrow, after cold drizzly weather today, bringing cheer to the hearts of every one except safety experts who wish people would stay close to home. The highway death toll forecast by National Safety Council President Howard Pyle was as many as 750 American dead by midnight Tuesday. Last year's record kill was 542 17 higher than the previous record set during the last 4-day Memorial Day weekend in 1963. Fifteen highway deaths are predicted by the State Safety Council this weekend.

One of the two persons who drowned in the State last year was a 17-year-old Rutherford boy who had tried to swim across Barbours Pond in West Paterson. State authorities will put into effect several special measures in an effort to prevent highway carnage. Major highways will be watched by two helicopters to report accidents and traffic congestion and 683 State Troopers will be on duty. Patrol cars assigned to the New Jersey Turnpike have numbers painted on them so they can be dispatched to trouble spots quickly by helicopter crews. Special emergency telephones are now in operation on bridges on the Turnpike, over the Hackensack and Passaic Rivers.

Construction work has been prohibited along the entire length of the New Jersey Turnpike which is expected to carry more than a million cars. The traffic peak is expected at about 6 P. M. today and on Sunday evening. War Def iers Can Be Jailed By BRIAN A.

The vast majority report travelers are holding their reservations, waiting to see what develops in the area before cancelling out. Israel Lines Affected El Al Israel Airlines said yesterday that there were some cancellations.

A spokesman said the first time this was felt was on Tuesday, following the State Department's warning Monday to Americans not to travel to the area. Since then the United States Embassy in Cairo ordered the temporary evacuation of all official American dependents in the United Arab Republic. Pan American World Airways said outbound traffic fell to 1,076 persons on Tuesday from 1,693 on Monday. Trans World Airlines reported it has assigned extra flights from Tel Aviv.

ROAD OPENING IS P0STP01D Meeting Is Planned On Paramus Issue Paramus The Garden State Parkway called off the sched-uled opening of Interchange 166, scheduled for noon today, after Borough officials threatened to put up their own barricade if the existing barriers were removed. The decision, announced only 40 minutes before the opening time, headed off. at least temporarily, the possibility of a court fight between the town and the New Jersey Highway Authority, operator of the toll road. Paramus officials say the" interchange at the Washington Township line is unsafe because it funnels traffic into blind curves which make left turns at the ramps extremely hazardous.

A meeting between local officials and Authority director D. Louis Tonti to discuss the question has been tentatively set for Monday afternoon. The Borough says Tonti verbally agreed on several occasions to keep the Interchange closed permanently following the opening of Interchange 165 at East Ridgewood Avenue. Tonti disagrees, saying the closing was only temporary, 1 I the Laotion border. The separate marine drives in the narrow border area were aimed at smashing units of five North Vietnamese divisions in the area.

A marine multi-battalion force launched its attack into the D. M. Z. yesterday and fought a vicious 6-hour battle before routing Communist defenders and taking Hill 117. a North Vietnamese fortress from which the Communists fired mortars and rockets at the American border outposts.

In the central highlands, a company of about 150 American soldiers of the 4th Division was badly cut up today fighting off an ambush by North Vietnamese soldiers wearing flashy red berets and Communist suicide snipers lashed in trees. The snipers caused many of the G. I. casualties. Reports Conflict The United States Command in Saigon said five of the American troops were killed and 46 wounded, but a report from the battlefield said about half of the company was killed or wounded.

The United States Command said 71 North Vietnamese were killed. Other action was reported in the muddy Mekong Delta and near Saigon, where three helicopters were shot down and eight more riddled by bullets while evacuating a South Vietnamese patrol. The 4th Division company was hit while searching the jungle for two Red regiments. The company commander was cut (Continued on A-2, Column 4) country's arsenals.

We've had nothing but cancellations for the Middle East and Greece," said a spokesman at Vacations International in Closter. "No one is booking for the area and we may even have Mediterranean cruises drop off." "Things are slightly shaky," said J.

W. Lusk, manager of the Ridgefield Park office of Fugazy travel Bureau. He said if the tension there increases, the bottom will drop out of tourism.

Memorial Day, the first 4-day holiday weekend since Independence Day, 1963, is expected to bring mild temperatures but chilling highway statistics. Last night the mercury plunged to a record low of 44 by Armalite Division of Fairch-ild Engine and Airplane Company, weighed 8.4 pounds, just ounces less than the M-14 which the M-16 has replaced as the combat weapon for close-in jungle fighting. Because of weight and supply problems, a round was developed for the AR-10 which was redesignated the AR-15. The AR-10 was changed slightly to completely enclose its mechanisms within the rifle's chamber, and the new AR-15 included a dust cover which opened automatically when fired. By 1960, the first M-16 models were delivered to Special Forces units in Vietnam.

A rifle is a small item in the A Record Report the marines provide an example of the intensity of these periodic debates.

Probably less energy was expended on the decision to build the U. S. S. Forestal, the nation's first supercarrier, than was devoted to the M-16 debate. Perhaps for this reason if not for the fact that it was not needed for an immediate full-scale war the M-16 is the most thoroughly tested weapon ever issued American soldiers.

Predecessor of the M-16 appeared in the 1950s as the AR-10, a rifle similar in appearance and operation to the later AR-15 which became the M-16.
