Kritzman said the defense does not contend that Okamoto is insane "as you can see before your eyes" but asked that a psychiatric panel be set up to determine whether Okamoto was insane during the time of the attack. He said he wanted such an examination because his client pleaded guilty against his advice. Three of the four charges against Okamoto carry the death penalty. The two other Japanese who launched the massacre at the airport were killed in the attack.

Okamoto, in dark slacks and a striped colored sport shirt, said the attack was carried out "in partnership" with the Japanese military leftist organization known as The Red Army, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), an Arab guerrilla group. Lalieview Ballroom DANCE TUESDAY, JULY 11 IRA Anbandons 13-Day Cease fire; 10 Dead Shadow of Moon Falls in Eclipse By United Press International The shadow of the moon fell on the earth today in a total eclipse, seen as a swiftly-moving arc of darkness traveling from the tip of Siberia across northern Canada to the North Atlantic. Total darkness occurred along a 113-mile wide strip of the earth and a partial eclipse was' visible in much of the rest of the world, including the United States where the blackout ranged from 14 per cent in San Francisco to 90 per cent in Boston. Scientists used sophisticated instruments including rockets carrying electronic observation gear to track the eclipse from land, sea and air. Experts warned amateur astronomers and others that looking directly at the eclipse could cause permanent eye damage.

After a solar eclipse in 1970 there were nearly 135 cases, of permanent eye damage reported from such viewing. Forty per cent of the victims reportedly had used inadequate protective devices. The eclipse began at sunrise (2:29 p.m. EDT) near Sakhalin Island north of Japan and traveled eastward across the sea of Okhotsk and the Peninsula of Kamchatka in Eastern Siberia. From there it went across the Bering Straight, Northern Alaska and Canada, the Hudson Bay and the Canadian Maritime provinces, fading out at 5:03 p.m.

EDT in the North Atlantic. During the eclipse, the moon's shadow travels at an actual speed of 2,100 m.p.h. but since the earth's rotation is in the same direction (1,040 m.p.h.) the shadow's apparent speed will be 1,060 m.p.h. The full eclipse will last longest 2 minutes and 36 secondsin a remote area northwest of Hudson Bay and near the Arctic Circle.

BELFAST (UPI) Irish Republican Army IRA gunmen returned to the attack today, their 13-day cease-fire abandoned. Gunbattles spread across Belfast and Londonderry and 10 persons died in the fighting or through "executions." In the first hours after the IRA Provisional wing called off their truce Sunday night, six civilians died in Belfast, including a 14-year-old girl and a Roman Catholic priest shot as he administered last rites to another victim.

Earlier Sunday, while the cease-fire still was in effect, police fond the bodies of four men who apparently had been executed. The deaths raised the toll for Northern Ireland's three years of bloodshed to 416. "We are very close to civil war," a spokesman for the Protestant Vanguard Movement said. The militant Ulster Defense Association (UDA) marshalled in the streets of Protestant neighborhoods. "These men have been called up for emergency duty," a UDA source said.

"They are awaiting the call to arms." Sharp gunbattles raged in several parts of Belfast until the early morning hours. Most were between troops and Catholic snipers, although ZFIFIN, Israel (UPI)-Kozo Okamoto admitted today that he participated in the massacre at Tel Aviv's Lod International Airport. "I fired not only at tourists and visitors but at policemen as well," Okamoto, 24, told a military tribunal at the opening of his trial. "But I don't know how many people I killed." Standing in a waist-high steel plated dock and flanked by two military policemen who were manacled to his wrists, the young Japanese pleaded guilty to all four charges against him in the attack that killed 26 people and wounded 79 others at Lod May 30.

Protestant gunmen were drawn into the gun duels as well. Some of the bitterest fighting raged in the Catholic Bal- lymurpny section.

An army observation post in a lumber yard was heavily attacked, and it was near there that Father Noel Fitzpatrick was shot in the neck as he knelt over a dying man to administer the last rites. A Provisional IRA statement from Dublin accused British troops of breaking the cease-fire by firing rubber bullets and nausea gas at almost 2,000 Catholics, including women and children, trying to take over abandoned houses in the Protestant Suffolk housing estate. The confrontation developed into a gunbattle between troops and snipers. British commanders denied troops had broken the truce and said their men fired only when fired upon. Northern Ireland Secretary William Whitelaw said in a statement: "The incident was clearly set up by the IRA to provide a justification for a resumption of terrorist activity."

Under the grain deal the Soviet Union will be granted up to $500 million in credit through the commercial credit corporation, the government-backed agency which normally handles commodities transactions, at the regular 6-Vi, per cent interest. It also marked the first occasion that such credit has been furnished the Russians. Their previous purchases were for cash. During the first year of the three-year agreement, Russia will buy at least $200 million worth of U.S. crops their choice of a mix of wheat, corn, sorghum, rye, barley and oats.

(UPD It was the biggest and most peaceful rock festival since Woodstock. More than 200,000 people braved the.

rains, mud, lack of toilet facilities and cheap wine at Po-cono International Raceway over the weekend. Despite massive traffic jams and several minor accidents, state police reported the rock fans were well controlled. Marijuana and hard drugs were available, but police said use was not extensive. By Sunday afternoon, only a few stragglers remained to pick up broken glass and rake up garbage on the 600-acre track. The festival was to last only one day, but was expanded when rain forced rock bands from the open stage Saturday night.

"On a scale of 10, I'd have to give them a 9.9," said raceway manager Bill Marvel. "A lot of people hear about other concerts, but this was the first I've been involved with and we're very happy about it." The biggest problem at the concert was traffic. State police said major highways through the resort area were closed because some fans parked heir cars on them when the spaces ran out at the raceway. While there were no serious injuries at the festival, Dennis Fernent, 17, Wallingford, N.J. was killed Saturday in a car accident near the site.

At Monroe County Hospital, 15 persons were treated for minor cuts and bruises. "It was over just as quick as it began," said one state policeman "Saturday, we had the worst traffic jams I've ever seen. No one really expected 200,000 people to show up."

(UPD President Nixon will send his secretary of commerce to Moscow this month to work on "a comprehensive new approach" to U.S.-Soviet trade, following up the unprecedented $750 million grain deal.

He will bring up the old Russian World War II debt. Plans for the trip by Secretary Peter G. Peterson were disclosed this weekend by Henry Kissinger, Nixon's chief foreign policy adviser. The President wants "a comprehensive new approach to the issue of U.S.-Soviet economic relations," Kissinger told newsmen. i He described the agreement to sell the Russians American grain as "a major step" toward that end.

The deal is by far the largest such trade transaction ever between the United States and the Soviet Union. Peterson's negotiations will focus on settlement of the World War II Lend-Lease debt owned by Russia and credit arrangements, two of the major obstacles to broader trade between the two.
