Lod, Israel UP) An Israeli military court rejected a guilty plea Monday from the Japanese terrorist who survived the Lod Airport massacre and said it would examine a defense charge that he had been tricked into making a written confession.

At the same time, the three lieutenant colonels comprising the court ruled they would take under advisement a defense request that the defendant, Kozo Okamoto, 24, be examined by psychiatrists. After the defense attorney made the request, Okamoto shouted: "I don't want an examination! I don't want an examination!" Twenty-six persons and two of Okamoto' accomplices were killed in the massacre on May 30. Another 67 were wounded in the machine-gun attack.

Attorney Max Kritzman, a 56-year-old Tel Aviv criminal lawyer, said the commanding general of Israel's central army command, Maj.

Gen. Rehavam Zeevi, promised a "gun would be put at his disposal." The tribunal then requested Zeevi to appear in court Tuesday. Kritzman said he did not have a copy of the alleged suicide agreement made by Zeevi. But he claimed a Japanese interpreter, Tomoo Ishida, witnessed the signing. Okamoto, wrists handcuffed to Israeli military policemen, watched stolidly during the long morning and afternoon sessions.

The only time he lost his composure was when his attorney mace the request for a mental examination. Earlier, he disobeyed Kritzman's orders to remain silent when the four charges three of which could bring proposal the correct basis for settlement of the Vietnam problem.
