The South Vietnamese strategy appeared to be to hold back while U.S. warplanes blasted the North Vietnamese bunkers. More than 70 U.S. B52s pounded areas around Quang Tri and Hue with 1,700 tons of bombs.

Some of the strikes were within a mile of Quang Tri City. In the air war against North Vietnam, U.S. fighter-bombers hit North Vietnam with more than 300 strikes Sunday, the U.S. Command said. The raiders destroyed three large warehouses and six supply caches at the Xuan Mai military training area 16 miles southwest of Hanoi and rocked two bridgei midway along the northwest cul line from Hanoi to China.

Tallman had been the command's chief of staff since last January, was named its deputy commander June 28 and the next day was promoted to brigadier general. He and members of his staff had flown on Sunday to An Loc, the provincial capital 60 miles north of Saigon, to inspect South Vietnamese units there. The town was under heavy North Vietnamese siege for weeks and is still being shelled daily. The round that hit the American party landed about 12:45 p.m., and Tallman died several hours later in an Army hospital in Saigon. FIELD REPORTS said more than 50 enemy shells hit An Loc Sunday, killing seven South Vietnamese soldiers and wounding 17.

Tallman was a combat infantry officer in Korea and was serving his third tour of duty in Vietnam. He is survived by his widow and seven children, including one ron who was graduated from West Point last month and another who is a member of the class of 1973. Tallman was graduated from the Point in 1949. On South Vietnam's northern front, meanwhile, the South Vietnamese attack on Quang Tri City was stalled for the fourth day by heavy North Vietnamese artillery fire. The Saigon command reported Hanoi's gunners fired more than 300 shells into South Vietnamese positions on the southern and eastern edges of Quang Tri and 30 miles to the south, on the western flanks of Hue.

MORE THAN a half dozen clashes were reported on the southern and eastern outskirts of Quang Tri. The Saigon command said that 101 North Viet- After Being Abandoned Near Quang Tri City Tank Burns N. Vietnamese The swivel chair in metal and black leather was flown from New York to Iceland and put on the stage in the Reykjavik chess hall Sunday. SPASSKY'S RUSSIAN advisers arrived shortly after the much talked about chair and studied it suspiciously. Then they left without comment.

Now the Icelandic organizers face a new problem: Where to find a similar chair in Iceland? "It would look better if both Spassky and Fischer had the same chairs," said Gudmun-dur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic Chess Federation. Fischer took one look at the dozen different chairs the Icelanders had assembled from Reykjavik's furniture stores the other day, sat down in some of them and' then gave his verdict: "Fly in my own chair." SPASSKY, THE 35-year-old Judge Fears Lengthy Delay; Will Query Ellsberg Jurors world champion, did not seem to worry much about details of the $250,000 match. Before leaving for a salmon fishing tour of northern Iceland the defending champion said, "I am not going to argue about chairs, chess boards and sets. I Will leave that to Bobby. It makes no difference to me." After lengthy and dramatic preludes, both Fischer and Spassky appeared ready to start the first of their 24 games Tuesday.

"Bobby is relaxed and ready. We will play Tuesday unless Spassky is ill," said Fred Cramer, vice president of the U.S. Chess Federation. BUT THE players still have to inspect and approve the facilities in the hall, where the organizers expect 3,000 fans paying $5 each to be on hand Tuesday. Gudmundur Arnlaugsson, deputy referee of the match, spent all day Sunday polishing off the fine details.

He tested several chess boards and finally settled for one made in Iceland specially for the match. It has been put together from Icelandic stones. Arnlaugsson, who had to take over when the chief referee Lothar Schmid of Ger-many flew home Saturday, also has a choice of five or six different chess sets of various sizes.

MICHIGAN AVE. PHONE 372-4327 LANSING. MICH. 48912 The next best thing to watching the Democratic Convention with us is to be there. Ellsberg, a graying, intense one-time top war analyst, has accepted all responsibility for making public the massive study of American involvement in the Vietnam war, but Russo has admitted he had a role in helping to copy the documents.

"I took the action on my own initiative," said Ellsberg when he surrendered to authorities June 28, 1971. "I felt as an American citizen as a responsible citizen I could no longer cooperate with concealing this information from the American people I am prepared for all consequences." HOWEVER, NEITHER Ellsberg nor Russo admits to breaking any laws. They say they released to the public material it was entitled to see, that they meant no harm to the country nor were trying to aid a foreign power. The grand jury indictment excludes the espionage law segment dealing with intent to harm the country, and the government says it need not prove such intent. The defense says espionage laws, usually cited in spy cases, can't be interpreted to omit such intent.

"This is a nontraditional espionage case," says Ellsberg's defense attorney, Leonard Boudin. We are writing here on a clean slate." THE ACTUAL charges against Ellsberg and Russo never mention The New York Times or any other paper which subsequently printed the Pentagon Papers revelations. Neither of them is charged with giving the material to a newspaper. Instead, both are charged with conspiring to steal the documents from Rand the government "think tank" where they worked. Ellsberg is accused of giving the papers to "persons not entitled to receive them." Receivers named in the indictment are Russo and two undicted co- conspirators, Linda Sinary; who said the documents were copied on her Xerox machine, and Vu Van Thai, a former South Vietnamese ambassador to the United States, who is named in Ellsberg's indictment as having received one volume of the papers.

THE GOVERNMENT has By LINDA DEUTSH LOS ANGELES (AP) Unusual ground rules govern jury selection as Daniel Ellsberg and Anthony Russo go on trial today in the Pentagon Papers case. U.S. District Court Judge William M. Byrne Jr. has barred attorneys from questioning potential jurors and says he will ask all questions himself drawing from lists of queries submitted by attorneys for both defense and prosecution.

THE DEFENDANTS, Ellsberg, 41, and Russo, 35, charged in connection with the leak of top secret documents to news media, have protested the 's decision. They claim it will limit attorneys from thoroughly screening potential jurors in court. The judge has indicated he made the decision, an option of federal judges, in an effort to avoid lengthy questioning on subjects he considered irrelevant to the case. The defense had hinted it would pursue in-depth questioning on potential jurors' attitudes toward the Vietnam war and other aspects of American history. BYRNE CHIDED them at one point for submitting among their suggested questions: "Do you believe the Boston Tea Party was a justifiable act?" "Do you think Jesus Christ was justified in throwing out the money lenders?" and "Did law enforcement officers at Kent State use excessive force?" "I fail to see how this is relevant to selecting a fair and impartial jury," Byrne said.

Attorneys have the usual privilege of using challenges to remove from the potential jury panel any persons they feel shouldn't serve. THE TRIAL of the two former government researchers who turned antiwar activists is expected to produce contro-v and important legal precedents. The case is already on the books as the first prosecution in which men were charged with espionage for leaking secrets to a newspaper. Conviction could result in a maximum sentence of 115 years in prison for Ellsberg and 35 years for Russo. Starts Tonight at 5:30 P.M.

LOD, Israel (AP) The Japanese terrorist who survived the Tel Aviv airport massacre pleaded guilty at the opening of his trial today, but the Israeli military court rejected the plea. It also postponed final decision on a request by the defense that the terrorist, Rozo Okamoto, 24, be given a mental examination. "I DON'T want an examination," the defendant shouted. "I don't want an examination." The court's rejection of the plea means the prosecution will have to present its case. Okamoto is accused along with two other Japanese in the murder of 26 persons at Lod Airport May 30.

The two other Japanese were also killed, and 67 other persons were wounded in the machine-gun attack. The three-man court said it would arojrrhae those facts which he admitted" in answering charges that he helped stage the airport massacre May 30. Although Okamoto pleaded guilty he disputed some of the facts. The tribunal then recessed to weigh the plea and the defense request for an examination by a panel of psychiatrists. In effect, the ruling was a novel twist on routine Israeli legal procedure.

Had the court accepted the guilty plea it would have automatically been forced to convict Okamoto, exposing him to a possible death sentence. HIS CHIEF lawyer, Max Kirtzman, said he did not contend Okamoto was now insane, "but he should have an examination to determine if he was sane at the time of the commission of the offense or whether he was under some irreversible influence or under the influence of drugs." Under Israeli law a defendant in a capital case has to plead innocent. Okamoto is expected to get life imprisonment. The opening of the trial was delayed 55 minutes by strict security checks. Many of those at the trial stood in line for more than two hours before they could enter the courtroom about four miles southwest of Lod Airport, where the massacre took place.

WEARING A red shirt and dark slacks, the small solemn defendant stood in a waist-high wooden enclosure manacled to two husky policemen as the chief prosecutor, Lt. Col. David Israeli, read the four charges against him. Asked if he understood, Okamoto replied quietly. "Yes." Asked how he pleaded to the charges, Okamoto replied: "On the 30th of May 1972 I discharged firearms with two other persons I forgot their names I do not know how many people I killed "I HAVE many things I want to say in court I fired arms not only at tourists but at a policemen as well Then he pleaded guilty.

In effect, the charge sheet accused Okamoto of participating with two other Japanese radicals, Yasuyaki Yasuda and Tsuyoshi Okudaira, in the murder of 26 persons at Lod Airport May 30. Yasuda and Okudaira were also killed, and 67 other persons were wounded in the carnage. The Japanese were acting for the Arab Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. THREE OF the charges against Okamoto carry a maximum penalty of death.

Hunters kill 30,000 to 40,000 annually. FAWNS USED to be kept at the Holly Shelter deer refuge in southeastern North Carolina.

The operation was transferred to the plant nursery near Hoffman this year. Wiseman's two teen age daughters, Ruthie, 15, and Tammy, 12, like to hand feed the fawns. 'They were real crazy about them when they were first brought to the nursery, but the novelty is beginning to wear off," said Wiseman, who also has three sons. His wife is a nurse. THE PLANT nursery produces lespedeza shrub seedlings and certain seed mixtures for distribution to North Carolina farmers who plant them to feed small game.

Stop That Airplane! empty a 10-ounce bottle in 30 seconds. THE "BABIES" are tiny fawns. Many were confiscated from North Carolina families which found them and planned to keep them as pets. State law prohibits persons from taking deer illegally and keeping them in their home or captivity. "They can be kept only with a special permit from the State Wildlife Commission, and the deer must have been gotten during the legal hunting season," said Clyde Patton, executive director of the commission.

The 16 fawns, ranging from two to five weeks old, are at the commission's plant nursery near Hoffman in the Sandhills area. One of the 16 is an albino. All are tame and have white spots which will disappear when they become about six months old. SOME OF the deer were found by farmers while cutting wheat. Wiseman explained that wheat fields are a favorite place for doe deer to give birth to their offspring.

He said the fawns will be kept at the nursery until after the hunting season which begins in October in most counties and runs until Jan. 1.
