The Okamoto, handcuffed Lod terrorist REYKJAVIK, Iceland -(UPI) Challenger Bobby Fischer expressed dissatisfaction yesterday with some of the arrangements in the hall where his world championship chess match with Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union is scheduled to begin today. "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, Air piracy counts laid ST. LOUIS, Mo. (UPI) -Martin J. McNally, 28, charged with hijacking two American Airlines jetliners and bailing out near Peru, with more than $500,000 in ransom, was formally indicted on two counts of air piracy yesterday.

Also indicted on the same two counts was Walter J. Petlikowski, 31, who allegedly helped McNally in the hijacking plot. Both men, who live in Detroit suburbs, were being held under $100,000 bond each in the Wayne County Jail in Detroit. An extradition hearing was scheduled for this morning in Detroit. Philippine forces moving to recapture mystery ship Okamoto guilty plea rejected by Israelis MANILA (UPI) Government forces yesterday mounted a land, air and naval operation to drive heavily- armed communist guerrillas from a coastal ridge and recapture a "mystery ship" that apparently brought them supplies from foreign ports.

Gen. Romeo C. Espino, chief of the armed forces, told UPI that air force fighter planes and the navy patrol vessel Pangasinan were sup- porting army and police try- ing to drive an estimated 100 (Continued from Page 1) Cruise" that took passengers to the path of the total eclipse about 900 miles east of New York. From land, sea and air, scientists using sophisticated ruments -rockets carrying iuv-iuuuis electronic observation gear tracked the eclipse. A U.S.

air force research jet from the Los Alamos, N.M., scientific laboratory took off to intersect totality close to Fort Churchill on Hudson Bay and chase the shadow for almost four minutes. It was prepared to check the temperature and chemical composition of the sun's corona, the halo visible as the moon blocks out the body of the sun. WATCHERS A group of about 50 sun watchers set up. camp at Stanhope Beach, P.E.I.. to help operate equipment of Smithsonian Institute and Harvard College observatory teams scanning the sun's corona and searching for faint conetf normally lost in the sun Dngmness.

Rockets carrying electronic observation equipment were fired to heights of more than 100 miles from East Quoddy, N.S., and Poker Flat near Fairbanks, Alaska. Some astronomers searched for the planet Vulcan, believed to be between the sun and Mercury, the planet closest to the sun. During the eclipse, the moon's shadow traveled at an actual speed of 2,100 miles an hour. But since the earth's least three days ago. Unofficial records show that Tallman was the eighth gen- eral killed in the war.

An admiral was killed in a helicopter crash last May 8, and two other generals have been wounded. In Paris, meanwhile, North Vietnam's chief negotiator, Xuan Thuy, arrived yester- day for resumption of the peace talks and said the sun's rays, even when the brightness is blotted out by an eclipse, can painlessly burn the inner lining of the eye. After a solar eclipse in 1970 there were nearly 135 cases of permanent eye dam- acrp rpnnrterl in iha TTnitorl States, guerrillas from the ridge at Digoya Point about 190 miles northeast of Manila.

He said Okamoto was code-named Ahmed.

Thuy mixed tough talk with promises of good will and a serious negotiating attitude, He said Hanoi hoped a nego- tiated settlement in Vietnam could be reached if the Americans also displayed goodwill. U.S. negotiator William Porter suspended the talks May 4 on orders from President Nixon, charging the communist delegations i not want to negotiate seriously. Nixon agreed to restart the talks after Kissinger's recent trip to Peking. HOPEFUL VIEW In another development former French premier Pierre Mendes-France said he believes, after conferring with Hanoi's delegate-general in France, that North Vietnamese negotiators have been "advised to agree" to a face-saving way of ending the Vietnam war, according to the newspaper Le Monde.

And in Peking yesterday, diplomatic sources said new Soviet tanks to replace North Vietnam's losses in the waning offensive in South Vietnam are still crossing China by rail. The sources noted that tank reinforcements indicate that North Vietnam is not planning to turn from the conventional war waged throughout the offensive to revert to protracted guerrilla tactics as some observers have suggested. yourself a little day for mm ZRIFIN, Israel (UPI) -Japanese terrorist Kozo Okamoto pleaded guilty yesterday to 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.

The other two members of the Japanese death squad died in the assault Okamoto said was carried out "in partnership" between i militant Japanese organization, the United Red Army, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, an extremist Arab guerrilla group. FOUR CHARGES 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 Kritzman. The 24-year-old Japanese also shouted he did not want an examination of his sanity as requested by his 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.

While Fischer sought changes in the arrangements, Spassky said he was going to relax and not argue. "I will leave that to Bobby. It makes no difference to me," Spassky 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. NOISE Fischer also inspected the carpeting in the hall and other arrangements made to keep the noise level down, Cramer said. The spectators, paying $5 each for admission will be reminded by a big, lighted sign to be silent.

There also is a ban against pocket chess sets in the hall. Meanwhile, a private poll taken among chess experts was in Fischer's favor. Many experts noted that Fischer in fact has a higher point rating in the complex international rating system than does Spassky, who has not been playing at his best recently. Fischer also impressed the chess world in his qualification matches. He beat Mark Taimanov of the Soviet Union and Bent Larsen of Denmark in six straight games and then overwhelmed former world champion Tigran Pe-irosian 6.5 points to 2.5.

Coiteux, who had won each election since 1960, won the 1970 election with only a 2,227 majority over his nearest rival, Parti Quebecois candidate Valmore Tremblay. In the National Assembly he was viewed as one of the more reactionary members of the Liberal caucus.

Coiteux had entered Laval hospital in Quebec City last week.

Funeral services will be held later this week in his home town of Sept-Iles. Coiteux's death means a provincial by-election will come sometime this fall, the first since Public Service Minister Jean Cournoyer was elected last year to replace the late Pierre Laporte in Chambly riding.
