GILDER WINS BY 5 SHOTS AT 261

By John Radosta, Special To the New York Times

Bob Gilder walked away with the Manufacturers Hanover Westchester Classic today by a five-stroke margin. His total of 19-under-par 261 for four rounds was the lowest score on the PGA Tour since Johnny Miller shot 260 in the 1975 Phoenix Open. Gilder also broke the Westchester Classic record of 269, also by Miller, in 1974 when the par was 72. Toward the end, Gilder said, he was emotionally drained from the excitement of winning and from the double-eagle 2 he had made Saturday, and from a cold he was battling. All he wanted to do, he said, ''was to get in without tripping over my own feet.''

MAY ORDERS FOR TOOLS FELL 56.7%

By Lydia Chavez

Orders for new machine tools fell 56.7 percent in May from their level a year earlier, the National Machine Tool Builders Association said yesterday. The decline indicates that companies are pessimistic about the prospects for an economic recovery in the third quarter, analysts said. Because of the lag before delivery, companies generally order new tools several months before they expect to need them. ''The month of May was an absolute disaster,'' said Eli S. Lustgarten, an analyst with Paine, Webber, Mitchell Hutchins Inc. ''Conditions have not stabilized and most corporations are still in the process of scaling back their capital spending plans.''

ISRAEL PROCLAIMS TOUGH PROPOSALS FOR ENDING WAR

By David K. Shipler, Special To the New York Times

The Israeli Cabinet issued a peace plan for Lebanon today, calling for the Lebanese Army to enter west Beirut and for the Palestine Liberation Organization to lay down its arms and leave the country along the Beirut-Damascus highway. Israel guaranteed safe passage for the P.L.O.'s members and leaders. The six-point proposal, designed to accomplish Israel's most ambitious goals in the war while avoiding an all-out Israeli assault on Palestinian strongholds in west Beirut, had the tone of an ultimatum. It began with an Israeli pledge to observe the current cease-fire, but warned that any violation would cause a military response ''with full severity.''
