More Tough Talk In Russian Press MOSCOW (AP)-A military court has sentenced another jew to a long term in a labor camp for plotting to hijack a Soviet airliner to Israel, and Pravda charged today that "imperialist propaganda" is waging a campaign to talk Soviet Jews into emigrating to Israel. Jewish sources said Soviet Army Lt. Vulf Zalmanson was Divert a 10-year sentence in Leningrad Thursday for taking part the plot last June to hijack a small Aeroflot plane to Israel. His term was five years less than the maximum sentences given earlier to other defendants in the case. Zalmanson was the 15th Russian to face trial in the hijack plot.

Two women and one child were released. Two Jewish defendants received death sentences which were later commuted to 15-year labor camp terms. The rest of the defendants, all but two of them Jewish, received labor camp sentences ranging from 4 to 15 years. Despite the tough talk in the Soviet press on what Pravda called the "Jewish question," the trial of nine other Jews in. Leningrad was postponed Wednesday 10 minutes after it began.

The official reason was that one of the defendants had come down with flu. Jewish informants said the trial will open again next week, but the Moscow correspondent of the French Communist party newspaper L'Humanite said he had learned that the Soviet government had decided to halt prosecution. Twelve to 14 other Jews are reported awaiting trials in Soviet prisons in Riga, Kishinev and Odessa. Protest against the Leningrad trial and other trials reportedly planned for Jews in the Soviet Union continued in the United States, and counterprotests continued from the Kremlin. Pravda, the Soviet Communist party newspaper, said "world imperialism and Zionism" are "stooping to vile methods" in an effort to undermine the patriotism of the Soviet Un- ion's Jewish citizens.

"It is common knowledge that these citizens, born, reared and educated in the U.S.S.R. have broad, equal rights with all members of Soviet society," the newspaper said. The Soviet government newspaper Izvestia said Thursday that an "anti-Soviet campaign is being fired up in the United States" and that "such activities suit someone in Washington." But Izvestia said "Tel Aviv extremists" are clearly behind the campaign and that there is a "connection between Israeli hawks and the American Zion- ists-pogromists." A bomb exploded outside the cultural building at the Soviet Embassy in Washington today, ripping through a metal door and shattering windows but causing no injuries. The Kremlin warned the United States three days ago that it could not guarantee the safety of American citizens in the Soviet Union if attacks on Soviet citizens and offices in the United States continued. Russian citizens' delegations followed'up the warning Thursday by parading to the U.S.

Embassy in Moscow with letters protesting the attacks. Three men accosted a second secretary at the embassy when lie and his wife returned to their car from a theater Wednesday and one of them 'asked: "How would you like it if you came out of the theater and were severely beaten, your car smashed, and there were uncon- trollabledemonstrationsoutside your embassy?" The diplomat, Robie M. Palmer said the man told him that anti-Soviet actions by U.S. Jewish groups are inexcusable and that the U.S. government must be conniving in them.

The American said he talked with the men about 15 minutes and one of them grabbed him by the lapels of his coat at one point. But he said there were no other physical gestures made toward him and that at the end of the talk he shook hands with the three men. People In News SAN CLEMENTE, Calif.

DETROIT for the United Auto Workers and Chrysler Corp. meet today for their first serious main-table talks in three weeks following rejection by the union of the company's long-awaited new wage proposal. The proposal for the most part closely followed the pattern set in new contracts between the UAW and General Motors Corp. and P'ord Motor Co.

But UAW President Leonard Woodcock said it had "deficiencies" in sections dealing with retroactivity of the first year wage increase for workers paid by the hour and with pay hikes for salaried employes. Chrysler Vice President William M. O'Brien said the company was prepared to negotiate on both items. The'UAW leadership is to meet Monday to make a decision "as to its course of action, leaving open the days between now and Monday in the hope that the Chrysler Corp. management will see the wisdom of avoiding the regrettable necessity of a strike deadline," Woodcock said.

The Chrysler wage offer, which O'Brien estimated would cost the firm $700 million over three years, would raise first year wages by from 49 to 57 cents an hour with the average raise to be 51 cents. The offer, however, made no mention of retroactivity of the 25 cents of "new money" in the first-year wage boost, which would cost the company about $10.7 million. Both Woodcock and the UAW Chrysler department head, Doug Fraser, have said repeatedly they would not accept anything less. Thesalariedemployeproblem is unique to Chrysler, since it alone has a substantial number i if UAW-represented salaried employes. The union represents 110,000 production workers and 10,000 salaried workers at Chrysler.

Also included in the offer were unlimited cost-of-livingi wage scale raises and retirement at a $500 monthly pension after 30 years service at age 58.

Mc- FT. McPHERSON, Ga. (AP) Three former soldiers have they saw American open fire on a group of onarmed and unresisting civilians during an infantry assault on the village of My Lai in 1968. The former GIs were the first prosecution witnesses to testify Thursday in the court-martial of Sgt. Charles Hutto, accused of assault with intent to kill at least six civilians at My Lai.

Two more prosecution witnesses were on call today before the defense begins bringing in witnesses from its subpoenaed list of 30. One of the prosecution witnesses heard Thursday said Hutto was with the soldiers who were firing at the civilians. The witness testified he did not see the defendant fire or point his weapon. Capt. Franklin Wurtzel, the Army prosecutor, declared in his opening statement that Hutto borrowed an M16 rifle to shoot a group of civilians.

Tommy Lee Moss of Spartanburg, S.C., said the 22-year-old Hutto was among a group of soldiers he saw confronting civilians. Now a college student and of the village. The witnesses all belonged to the 2nd Platoon with Hutto but were in different squads. The witnesses said they were unable to see the actions of members of the 1st Platoon, commanded by Lt.

KANSAS CITY (AP) Miss Sally Priesand, 24, is preparing to become what is believed to be America's first woman rabbi but she denies she has anything like women's liberation in mind. "I didn't choose this so I could champion women's rights," Miss Priesand said Wednesday night after speaking at Temple B'nai Jehudah on a visit to Kansas City. "I chose this career because the Jewish faith is something in which I have a deep personal belief," said the blue mini-skirted coed who wore knee-high boots. "I believe one woman was ordained in Europe in this century," said Miss Priesand, who is in her seventh year of study at the Hebrew Union College- Jewish Institute of Religion at Cincinnati.

"My goal isn't to break with tradition and I don't think women have played a secondary role in Judiasm. It was an honored one, but one that was usually restricted to the home. She said gaining admission to the school was easy. "I don't believe anyone there worried about it," she said. "They must have thought I wouldn't go through with it I'd drop out.

"There was some opposition at the beginning, of course, but it has died down. And even if I don't have everyone's support, at least I have their and that's just as good." Miss Priesand acknowledged that she could study to be a rabbi only in the Jewish reform movement and that even there some congregations would not accept her. But she said her primary concern is to finish her studies expects to graduate in find a congregation of about 200 families to accept her. doTrii Zatezalo' 49 "vice ores- national Airport and said Thurs- Cormack and two other retired shipping clerk, Moss said the ci- aolph vice pres- lotl nW House members. vihans "seemed to be very rdentof the civic Ha'za'Bank'in day Gilligan was "an old cus- Kansas City, was accused Thursday by the St.
