Some 50.9 per cent of the sun's surface was covered in Atlanta at the peak of the eclipse Monday, and the budding physical scientists who gathered at Fernbank took good advantage of the clear skies. On the platform outside the huge telecsope housing, three teen-agers were intently studying an instrument hooked to a toilet tissue cardboard tube. "We've got a solar cell in there," one of them explained, pointing to the tube, which was attached to a tracking telescope. "And we're measuring the intensity." Other youngsters took photographs, and squinting toddlers peered up at the sun through the squares of eye-protecting film.

"When's it going all dark?" asked one mother. "You mean it won't go all dark?" It was not, of course, the first time that people had trained a scientific eye on a solar eclipse. "The ancient Chinese kept very accurate records of solar eclipses," said Willamon. "According to some records, they thought it was the dragon eating the moon." Staal, whoiscurrently studying ancient Chinese astronomy, pinpointed the first account of a solar eclipse to 22,700 BC. "Whether that's a truthful record, we really don't know," he amended.

KillHiifel 1 ZRIFIN. Israel (UPD-Japanese terrorist Kozo Oka-mjbto pleaded guilty Monday taking part in the Lod airport massacre in which 26 persons died, but an Israeli military court rejected his plea and ordered the trial to proceed. The first prosecution witness to testify was Police Commander Menashe Golan who said Okamoto had signed a confession admitting his role in the bullet-and-bomb attack May 30 at Israel's international airport. Okamoto's attorney said his client had signed the confession but only after being prdmised that he would be allowed to commit suuicide. The other two members of the Japanese death squad died in the Judge Walling Put on Impact Task Force DeKalb er i Court Judge Robert H.

Walling has been appointed to the city's High Impact Program Task Force by Mayor Sam Massell. The Task Force is an advisory body created to aid in the implementation of the $20 million program funded through the federal Law Enforcement Assistance Administration to help reduce street crime in Atlanta. Massell appointed 24 persons to the Task Force on May 15. Additional appointments have included Walling; W. F.

Beardsley. director of the Georgia Division of Investigation; and Cloyd Hall, special assistant to Gov. Jimmy Carter. Hall will also serve on the Associated Press Photo STAGES OF MONDAY'S SOLAR ECLIPSE City's World Fair Unisphere in Foreground MULTIPLE EXPOSURE SHOWS VARIOUS Sequence Was Photographed With New York By HENRY WOODHEAD Under prime conditions for eclipse-watching, some 250 persons at Fernbank Science Center stared up Monday to watch the moon take an uncustomary bite out of the sun. The partial eclipse, for Iantans, began about 3:40 p.m.

as the moon started a diagonal track across the sun, and ended about 5:45 p.m., when the shadow passed from sight. Fernbank staff members passed out pieces of exposed film to protect the eyes of the spectators arrayed on the platform of the center's planetarium, and explained the phenomenon to anyone who seemed puzzled. "We're really fortunate," said Julius Staal, the planetarium director. "Usually you can bet your life that when anything astrological happens, something will spoil it." Fernbank officials were apprehensive early in the day that poor weather in Canada would ruin the trip of a team of Fernbank scientists who traveled to Prince Edward Isle, Nova Scotia to observe the eclipse in its totality. But later reports indicated that Canadian weather was clear, according to Richard Willamon, one of the astronomers who stayed behind.

Only in a 110-mile-wide path stretching from northern Alaska to Canada's Maritime provinces was the eclipse to be total. The Fernbank team went there to make both me-teorlogical and astrological studies in the two minutes of total eclipse, said Willamon. "During an eclipse is the best time to study the atmosphere of the sun. When the sun is shining normally, you can't observe the atmospheric layers at all," Willamon explained. Fernbank meteorologists were studying the effect of the eclipse on the weather changes in pressure and temperature, he said.

And the astronomers were taking a look tine, an extremist Arab guerrilla group. Okamoto's plea came at the opening of his trial on four charges, three of which are punishable by death, and against the advice of his lawyer, Max i a n. The 24-year-old Japanese also shouted he did not want an examination of his sanity as requested by his Chicago-born, British-educated attorney. The three-man court said it would not accept his guilty plea or consider his statements on the attack as full admission of guilt. It also said it would decide later whether Okamoto should undergo psychiatric examination.

Prosecutor General David Yisraeli said in his opening remarks that the three Japanese planned to commit suicide after the attack "according to a plan finalized in Lebanon to make it possible for the PFLP to declare soon after the operation that three killers were Arabs named Basaan, Ahmed and Salah." He said Okamoto was code named Ahmed. Golan told the court that Okamoto wrote a confession in Japanese in his presence. But Kritzman contended his client did so a week later and only after he had been promised he could commit suicide by Gen. Rehavam Ze'vi, chief of the army central command. "He was promized that if he makes a decalration he will be able to commit suicide that he will be able to die by way of a pistol put at his table," Kritzman said.

"The written agreement was signed by Ze'vi. my client believed it would be kept and he was talked into making a confession because of this oesn't Like Chess Set Bobby lie priest and chess grand master who serves as Fischer's second. "I don't know if he is thinking of chess, but he is ready," said the Rev. William Lombardy. While Fischer nought changes in the arrangements, Spas-sky said he was going to relax and not argue.

"I will leave that to Bobby. It makes no difference to me," Spassky said. Cramer, himself a retired lighting engineer, said he was not sure what Fischer objected to concerning the lighting. "From an engineering point of view it's perfect and very flexible. But if you have to sit for five hours staring at a chess board you might have other ideas," Cramer said.

The chess board, made of green and white Icelandic stones, has been an issue from the start. The organizers treated it with acid to take the glare off it. Fischer is not satisfied with the board, however, and he also feels the chess pieces are too small in relation, Cramer said. The deputy arbiter for the match, Gudmundur Arnlaugs-son, has a number of different boards and sets to choose from when match time comes. REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) -Challenger Bobby Fischer expressed dissatisfaction Monday with some of the arrangements in the hall where his 1 championship chess match with Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union is scheduled to begin Tuesday.

"Fischer does not like the lighting, the board and the pieces, the location of the television cameras and some other minor details," said Fred Cramer, vice president of the U.S. Chess Federation. Cramer said the "minor details" included the thickness of the window drapes used in the hall. Fischer prefers heavier drapes, he said. "These things are troublesome but not critical," Cramer said.

"The organizers are already doing something about it." Fischer, 29, of Brooklyn, N.Y., slipped unnoticed into the hall early Monday and spent 80 minutes inspecting details arranged for the match that is scheduled to go as many as 24 games. There is a purse of $250,000 in addition to the world chess championship at stake. Cramer said Fischer was "go, go, go" for the first game, scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. (1 p.m. EST) Tuesday.

Department of Housing and Urban Development Monday gave the Atlanta Housing Authority the green light on two new projects here. One is a $4.6 million project off Boulder Park Road and will permit residents to buy their homes. Residents of the 171 single family units will get credit for regular maintenance on the property. They also can make other financial payments until equity is such that they can finance purchases through another federal housing program. Three other housing authority projects with a total of 553 units already are under construction under this program, according to Les Persells, authority director.

The federal housing agency also approved a $3.1 million project for the elderly at Juniper and 10th streets. This project will include 150 units, Persells said. .03 SAIGON (AP) Government paratroopers remained stalled on the southern and eastern edges of the occupied city of Quang Tri on Monday as allied fighter-bombers pounded enemy defenses around the heart of South Vietnam's northernmost provincial capital, field reports said. Associated Press correspondent Dennis Neeld reported newsmen were barred from reaching airborne units at the -front. But he said sources who had returned from forward units told him that paratroopers on the eastern edge of the city were under heavy mortar, machine gun and rifle fire.

The informants said air strikes were being called in against enemy positions surrounding the Citadel, a walled fortress in the heart of Quang Tri. The planes were reported flying through heavy antiaircraft fire from guns inside the Citadel. The airborne, which together with South Vietnamese marines and supporting armored cavalry launched a drive June 28 to recapture Quang Tri Province, has been stalled on the edge of the city since late last week. One battalion pushed close to the Citadel on Friday but fell back under heavy fire. The South Vietnamese command in Saigon said the government task force engaged the enemy several times in the Quang Tri area Monday, killing 24 North Vietnamese 3 Private Vi Hr.

BY EOB FORT Welfare benefits to 135,330 needy, aged, blind or disabled Georgians increased by $4 million on July 1, Jim Parham, deputy State Human Resources commissioner, said Monday.

Beginning with their July welfare checks, the recipients previously getting less than the current maximum allowance will receive increases of from $1 to $6 monthly. Parham said. ''In a year when many states were deliberately reducing grants to the needy, Georgia's General Assembly appropriated $1.2 million to by matched with federal funds to help the aged, blind and disabled make ends meet on a limited welfare check, a next-to-impossible task in the face of a constant inflation in living costs," Parham said. Parham said the program, spearheading Gov. Jimmy Carter's policy of helping needy persons help themselves "through a fiscally-sound program administered in a fair and equitable way," has enabled the state to slow welfare roll grow th this year.

1 "The General Assembly decided to appropriate the increase because the Division of Family and Children Services was able to demonstrate a determined effort to ineligible persons from getting on the (welfare) rolls, and at the same time allow Georgians who were legally eligible to receive assistance," Parham said. Parham said welfare growth in Georgia during fiscal 1972 dropped 40 per cent under the 1971 growth rate. Aid to dependent children growth dropped 42 per cent, and aid to the aged, blind or disabled 30 per cent, Parham said, and growth rates continue to declines. Parham, who was state welfare director before state reorganization, said latest statistics show that 633.478 Georgians or one cut of seven are receiving cash or food assistance monthly. He said the slowdown in welfare growth has had the "fringe benefit" of reducing the number of persons eligible for Medicaid, since only welfare recipients qualify for these benefits.
