LOD, Israel (Reuter) Japanese terrorist Kozo Okamoto was found guilty today of participating in the Lod airport massacre on May 30 in which more than 100 persons were killed or injured. However, the Israeli military prosecutor asked the court to sentence Okamoto to life imprisonment, forsaking the death penalty. The verdict of guilty was inevitable not only because of the overwhelming weight of material evidence produced during the trial last week but also in view of Okamoto's open claim in court to responsibility for the attack by a three-man Japanese suicide squad. Okamoto alone survived, one of his companions dying when caught in cross-fire between the three, and another when a grenade blew off his head. The projection and defence both pleaded to spare Okamoto's life.

In a letter to Mayor Benoit today, NCC Chairman Fullerton says the tra fic department's proposal would have "minimum impact on through traffic while insuring maximum dislocation for the Glebe." Mr. Fullerton dismisses the city's traffic proposal as merely a makeshift scheme for barricading residential streets. Further, he suggests the city's "main purpose" has been to come up with a plan deliberately designed "to break down under the stress of violent local protest thereby discrediting the basic objectives of insuring traffic circulation adjustment to meet to overall -needs of the Glebe." And while board of control will ask council tonight to support the street closures starting Sept. 18 on a trial basis, the Glebe association will petition for a postponement until August.

In a letter to councillors, the association executive maintains the proposed move will create traffic confusion and produce hostile reactions from residents and drivers.
