BONN — The six-month old trial of members of Adolf Hitler's bodyguard ended in Osnabrueck yesterday with sentences of life imprisonment at hard labor imposed on three of the defendants convicted of murdering Jews in northern Italy in the autumn of 1943. Two other defendants received three year sentences.
The life sentences were pronounced on Hans Roehwer, 56, Hans Kruger, 57, and Herbert Schneller, 56, who were found guilty of shooting down at least 22 Jews at Lake Maggiore. Lud-wig Leithe, 47, and Oscar Schulz, 45, got the lighter sentences for aiding in the murders. All had been ordered to disarm Italians in the lake district following Italy's surrender to the Allies in 1943, but in the process arrested and shot Jews.

JERUSALEM — Israel maintained official silence on the announcement by the Defense Department in Washington that the United States has agreed to sell Israel additional batteries of Hawk surface-to-air missiles under a credit arrangement. There was no editorial comment either in Israel's press. The agreement was the first for the sale of U.S. military equipment to I^ael since the June, 1967, Arab-Israel war.

According to the Telegraph the shipments were not announced apparently at the request of American authorities who are sensitive about re-entering the Middle East arms race and are worried about the reaction of the "Zionist lobby."

LONDON—Rabbi Yehuda Leib Levin, who concluded his trip to the United States last week, told his congregation at Moscow's Choral Synagogue yesterday that American Jews have the "most distorted and utterly incorrect notions" about Jewish life in the Soviet Union, but that his trip had been "useful" in dispelling some of their misconcep-

plane in the U.S. arsenal. But other sources here noted that the sale of the Hawks was only the logical continuation of an old agreement. The U.S. agreed to sell Hawks to Israel in 1962 to offset weapons acquired by the Arab states from the Soviet bloc. Enough missiles to form a battalion were delivered to Israel in 1965 at a cost of $25 million.
A battalion normally has a total of 24 Hawks missile launchers each bearing three missiles. The new sale, according to the Pentagon, involves "additional batteries." A battery has six launchers and 18 missiles. The Hawk — Homing AU-the-Way-Killer—can destroy aircraft at altitudes as low as 100 feet and as high as 38,000 feet, which is considered "medium" altitude.
In Washington a Defense Department spokesman disclosed that agreement on the Hawk transaction was reached June 29 but refused to say how many batteries were involved. The announcement did say however that "acquisition by Israel of ad-ditional Hawks should enhance'^ '

viewed by the U.S. as a substitute for the 50 Phantom jets that were requested by Prime Minister Levi E^kol during his visit with President Johnson last January. The Administration has since been under strong pressure from many Congressmen and from political candidates to sell the Phantoms to Israel in view of the massive Soviet build-up of Egypt's Air Force. But the State Department is believed to have sought to defer the sale. ,Scme observers in Washington said today that the State Department recommended to the White House that formula be found to bolster Israel's air defense but deny her the Phantoms which could be used offensively. The Hawk is a purely defensive weapon.
Other sources speculated that the agreement to sell Israel additional Hawk missiles would pave the way for the sale of the Phantom jets. Following Mr. Esh-koFs visit, Mr. Johnson promised Israel about 20 more A-4 Sky-hawk fighter-bombers. The U.S. has ahready begun the shipment of three squadrons cf 48 Sky-hawks under a sales agreement concluded in 1966. Their delivery had been held up by the June, 1967, war. The President was said to have made no- commitment on Israel's request for the faster, more modern Phantoms. Officials have maintained that their sale remained imder "sympathetic consideration."
