But he added that he accepted his own trial "as a means of propaganda." Okomoto is being tried on four charges, three of which could bring the death penalty. He is expected to get a life sentence.

The American Challenger lost the first game Wednesday night. Fischer staged a 30-minute walkout shortly after the play began Wednesday, complaining that a movie camera 150 feet away was making him nervous. The camera was hardly visible in the dimness outside the lighted players' circle, and it could not be heard by Fischer, but aides said the knowledge of its presence unnerved him. Chief referee Lothar Schmid of West Germany, who makes the decisions on all contested points in connection with the match, told Fischer during his walkout there was nothing he could do about the camera. Film and television rights for the match have been sold to an American promoter, and Fischer and Spassky are to get a share of the proceeds, estimated at a minimum of $27,500 each.

"It's up to Lothar Schmid whether Bobby plays," one of Fischer's advisers said today. With a maximum of 23 more games to be played, Robert Byrne, the second-ranking U.S. grandmaster, said Fischer's loss "isn't necessarily all that significant. Either of these players can come back and win." A victory yields one point, a draw half a point, and after Wednesday's match Spassky needed 11 more points in the 24-game series to retain his title. Fischer needs 124 points to end the 24-year Soviet monopoly of the title.

He has played Spassky six times, been beaten by him four times and drawn twice. Today he plays the white pieces, which gives him the first move and a slight advantage. The first game in the match began Tuesday, and Spassky adjourned it after 40 moves with Fischer in bad straits. Five minutes after the game resumed late Wednesday afternoon, Fischer stood up, spoke animatedly to Schmid and strode to a backstage dressing room: Schmid followed him, and Fischer said he wouldn't continue play unless a movie camera 150 feet from the board was shut off. Schmid said he couldn't order the camera removed.

AP) An 18-year-old man was charged with involuntary manslaughter Wednesday in connection with a fireworks plant fire that killed five persons Tuesday. Arturo Arias was arrested and jailed Wednesday in lieu of $2,000 bond after Chief Assistant District Atty. Morris Stagner filed charges of five counts of involuntary manslaughter against him.

21, and Lucy Regaldo, 22, both of Dexter. Police Chief L. J. Hall Jr. said Wednesday that the fire apparently was set off when rockets outside a building accidentally were ignited and got inside the building to which workers had fled to escape them.

Hall said from reports of witnesses and survivors, Martinez, who was killed, and Arias were working outside the arsenal-type building when Priscilla Fuentes apparently went outside during lunch break and talked with them. Hall said the discussion apparently turned to how rockets worked, and one of the men picked up a rocket from a pile of rockets outside the building, put it in a coke bottle and lit it. Hall said the rocket came down in a pile of rockets outside the building, setting them off. The Fuentes woman and Martinez apparently went back inside the building and some of the ignited rockets got inside and ignited fireworks. Don Robertson, vice president of Longhorn, said the building was "for all general purposes closed; we're on a two-week vacation." He said persons in the plant were there to do "general cleanup." Two persons were reported injured in the fire.
