U.S. District Court Judge William J.

Bauer imposed the longest setences five years for extortion and one year for perjury, to be served consecutively on suspended Capt. Clarence D. Braasch, former commander of the East Chicago district and the city traffic department. The policemen were accused of operating a "$100 a month" extortion club, which shook down tavern operators in the city's near North Side night club belt from 1966 to 1970. The 18 policemen and another convicted man, whose sentencing was deferred because he was ill, were convicted by a U.S.

district court jury in October after a 42-day trial. Four others were acquitted. Bauer rejected as "not well taken" the arguments of defense attorneys that he should show leniency to the policemen on grounds that there is equal guilt between a person who bribes and one who is bribed. "The people of Chicago put their trust in their policemen," the judge said. U.S.

William R.

Pogue, who has Comet View Obscured By Sunlight united Press International WASHINGTON The Comet Kohoutek is becoming brighter on its dash toward the heart of the solar system but its proximity to the sun is obscuring the view from earth, the Space Agency reported yesterday. The glare of dawn will continue to interfere wtih the view until after the comet makes its closest approach to the Sun Dec. 28 and begins its trip back out of the solar system. "The morning twilight is seriously interfering with Kohoutek ground-based observations," said a spokesman at NASA's Comet Operations Center at the Goddard Space Flight Center. He also said that the comet is getting to the point where an amateur observer should not look at it with binoculars or a telescope because of the danger he accidentally might look into the sun.

The best observations of the comet are now being made by the Skylab 3 astronauts from their orbiting space station. The comet is not as bright as was expected but the astronauts said yesterday it intensity was increasing. put the wrong cannister of film in another Kohoutek camera last week producing pictures badly out of focus. "Someone is getting the short end of the stick, and I don't want to be held to blame for it," Pogue said. "When we're pressed bodily from one point of the spacecraft to another with no time for even mental preparation, let alone getting the experiment ready, there's no way we can do a professional job.

"I don't like being put in an incredible position where I'm taking somebody's expensive equipment and thrashing about wildly with it and trying to act like a one-armed paper hanger." The trio yesterday passed Skylab l's month-long milestone for time in space and said they felt their historic 84-day mission had just begun. They said Kohoutek was "getting longer and stronger" by the day as they continued to study and photograph it. Pogue, Edward G. Gibson and Gerald P. Carr, moved into second place in spaceflight endurance records behind the Skylab 2 crew, which was aloft 59 days and 11 hours.

They completed the first third of their flight at 9:23 a.m., and 28 minutes later surpassed the time of Charles Conrad, Joseph P. Kerwin and Paul J. Weitz of 28 days, SO minutes.
