At least six Jewish political prisoners in the Potma camp in Soviet Mordovia have declared a hunger strike in protest against prison conditions, according to reports Wednesday from Soviet Jewish sources. Their action has resulted in a prohibition against their learning Hebrew and meeting with other Jewish inmates. The six are Lt. Wolf Zalmanson, Yisroel Zalmanson, Solomon (Shlomo) Dreizner, Vladimir Osherovich Mogilever, David Iserovich Chernoglaz and Semeon Abramovich Levit.
