Thinner now, and older, the Cosa Nostra in. formant emerged from solitary federal confinement for his first reappearance in public Tuesday at a Brooklyn hijacking trial. Defense lawyers, fighting in vain to block testimony, asked the 64-year-old mobster how long he has been in solitary at the federal correctional institute in Milan, where he is doing life for murder. 25 months, to be replied Valachi, with a precise knowledge of passage. Q.

Twenty.four hours a day? A. Yes. Q. Do you get any exercise? A. On the roof sometimes, in the summertime.

Valachi, his hair still In the familiar crew cut, but his suit now too large for his once portly frame, was interrogated first In the absence of a federal jury. The defense sought to prove him mentally incompetant to testify. But Federal Judge John F. Dooling allowed Valachi to proceed as a government witness against five men accused of a $50,000 hijacking In 1959. One of the defendants Is Carmine Persico, 35, one-time comrade of Valachi in the old Joseph Profacl Cosa Nostra family in Brooklyn.

33 years in the crime syndicate ended in 1963 when he broke his blood oath of secrecy to bare the inner workings of the Cosa Nostra to a Sen. ate rackets subcommittee in a sensational series of televised hearings. Allowed to testify before the jury, Valachi described a meeting with Persico and two other of the defendants after their ar. rest for the 1959 hijacking. He added of Persico: wanted to been paying tax.

No progress was made Tuesday night In a meeting between city council's personnel committee and negotiators for the city's firemen. Committee chairman James Conti said another meeting to continue the negotiations between the two groups is scheduled for sometime next week. City firemen continued to picket city hall for a pay hike of 10 per cent, which was given to city policemen and nurses at Jamestown General Hospital, but denied to the firemen. Meanwhile, the city has offered the smoke eaters a pay raise of only five per cent, but the firemen refuse to accept the offer. Still unresolved are contracts with workers in the Department of Public Works, who are represented at the negotiations by the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employes.

A state mediator named by the Public Employment Relations Board has both sides back to the bargaining table to begin negotiating again.
