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, Mr. Okamoto shouted out: "I don't want an examination! I don't want an examination!" Twenty-six persons at the airport and two of the assassins were killed in the massacre May 30. Another 67 were wounded in the machine-gun attack. The biggest surprise in the opening day of the trial, held at a heavily guarded Army camp near here, came when Mr. Okamoto's attorney said a high-ranking general had promised his client he could commit suicide if he signed a confession.

Suicide offer Max Kritzman, a 56-year-old Tel Aviv criminal lawyer who 's Mr. Okamoto's attorney, said the" commanding general of Israel's central Army com-l mand, Maj. Gen. Rehavam Zeevi, promised Mr. Okamoto a "gun would be put at his disposal." The tribunal then requested General Zeevi to appear in court today.

sOne version of the suicide offer reported in the press shortly after the May 30 massacre went like this: When Mr. Okamoto continued to refuse to co-operate with his interrogators, "a high-ranking general" threw a pistol in front of him and promised he could use it to commit suicide if he talked. Mr. Okamoto, these reports said, stared at the weapon for a long time, then began to talk in English for the first time. Mr.

Kritzman said he did not have a copy of the alleged suicide agreement made by General Zeevi, But he claimed rules, a product of the Chicago riot four year ego Based on their efforts with the Maryland delegation, the McGovern forces appear to be far ahead of other candidates in lining up support as AFL-Cid officials privately circulated a harsh attack on Senator George McGovern A8 Senator Edmund S.

KOZO OKAMOTO accused terrorist men made a pact to committ made Sunday night In Peking. Mr.

Chou spoke in reaction to a statement Friday by Mr. Tanaka. Thus, the two governments long cool, and sometimes even hostile to each other-inched still closer to the opening of offical talks leading to normalization. Significantly, however, all three Japanese statements as well as several made last week gave no specifics as to whether Tokyo would adhere to Peking's stated conditions for the opening of such talks. To require further study Mr.

Tanaka, along with his foreign minister, Masayoshi Ohira, and his chief spokesman, Susumu Nikaido, said that Japan's next steps would require further study. This implies consultation within the Foreign Ministry, where experts differ in their estimates of how much Japan needs to yield to Chinese terms, and among members of the ruling Liberal Democratic party, where politicians differ in their judgments of how much Japan should yield to Chinese demands. Japanese press reports, quoting government sources, said yesterday that Mr. Tanaka or another leading politician might visit Peking within six months. Other reports suggested that such a political-level visit would have to be preceded by lower-level, diplomatic talks, particularly on such problems as Japan's relations with Taiwan and the form of any "apology" Tokyo might make for Japanese atrocities during World War II.

rr, 5- China has hinted, in the last two months, at some flexibility in the terms it once demanded for normalization. suicide after, the Lod attack in such a way that "their faces would be disfigured beyond recognition." Indeed, Mr. Israeli said, Mr. Okamoto ran from the airport terminal onto the tarmac with every intention of blowing up two planes and jumping onto the fire. An Israeli security agent identified Mr.

Okamoto as the man he saw firing an auto matic weapon for about 20 or 30 seconds inside the terminal. Security is tight Mr. Kirtzman then said to the agent: "I charge that perhaps you didn't see the accused firing that if you saw him for only 20 seconds you wouldn't remember his face." The trial was held in air-conditioned barracks, which once served as a recreational hall at the Zerifin Camp, about 8 miles south of Tel Aviv, under the tightest security since the convicted Nazi war criminal, Adolph Eichmann, was exe cuted 10 years ago. The Israelis are guarding against a possible attempt to free or assassinate Mr. Oka moto.

At the same time there are indications in Peking that the Soviet Union is now more satisfied with China's efforts to keep up the flow of Soviet military supplies to North Viet nam. Chinese co-operation Russian and East European diplomats here, who until recently had been complaining that China was "not doing enough" to transship supplies, have in the past few days projected a picture of increased Chinese co-operation. But there is no concrete indi cation here that China has sent engineers or laborers anto North Vietnam to assist repairing United States bomb damage to match its aid from 1965 to 1963, when about 40,000 Chinese volunteers helped to keep roads- and rail links open. Diplomats- in the Chinese capital in close contact with the North Vietnamese say there is apparently no founda tion to reports published in Washington that such aid has been resumed. U.S.

admits delegation went to Cuba San Clemente, Calif. (Reuter) The United States government disclosed yesterday that an official U.S. delegation had visted Cuba for the first time since Washington severed relations with Havana but stressed this was without polit ical significance and there had been no change in U.S. policy toward Cuba. Four American scientists were in Cuba from June 19 to 24 to take part in an international conference sponsored by the United Nations on multilateral investigation of natural resources of the Caribbean, the State Department disclosed.

President Nixon's press sec retary, Ronald L. Ziegler, said the presence of the U.S. scientists in Cuba was totally, con sistent with 'existing policy. and it was not even necessary for them to obtain White House approval of the visit. "It represents no change whatever in our position to wards Cuba," Mr.

Ziegler said, adding that it was without any political or' any other implication."

Mr. Okamoto, with his wrists manacled to Israeli military policemen, watched stolidly during the long morning and afternoon sessions. The only time he lost his composure was when his attorney made the request for a mental examination.

Earlier, he disobeyed Mr. Kritzman's orders to remain silent when the four charges-three of which could bring the death penalty were read. "I have many things I want to say in court," the Japanese said through his interpreter. "I fired arms, not only at tourists but at policemen as well." The prosecution claimed Mr. Okamoto flew to Lebanon where he met the leader of the suicide team, Tsuyoshi Oku-daira, 26, and Yasuyuki Ya-suda, 24, for training at a Palestinian guerrilla camp near Baalbek.
