Attorneys have the usual privilege of using challenges to remove from the potential jury panel any persons they feel shouldn't serve.

The trial of the two former government researchers who turned antiwar activists is expected to produce controversy and important legal precedents. The case is already on the books as the first prosecution In which men were charged with espionage for leaking secrets to a LOS ANGELES (A Unusual ground rules govern jury selection as Daniel Ellsberg and Anthony Russo go on trial today in the Pentagon Papers case.

hat barred attorneys from questioning potential jurors and says he will ask all questions himself drawing from lists of queries submitted by attorneys for both defense and prosecution. The defendants, Ellsberg, 41, and Russo, 35, charged in connection with the leak of top secret documents to news media, have protested the judge's decision. They claim it will limit attorneys from thoroughly screening potential jurors in court. Challenge jurors The judge has indicated he made the decision, an option of federal judges, in an effort to avoid lengthy questioning on subjects he considered irrelevant to the case. The defene had hinted it would pursue in-depth ques Conviction could result in a maximum sentence of 115 years in prison for Ellsberg and 35 years for Russo.

Admits copying data Ellsberg, a graying, intense one-time top war analyst, has accepted all responsibility for making public the massive study of American involvement In the Vietnam war, but Russo has admitted he had a role in helping to copy the documents. "I took the action on my own initiative," said Ellsberg when he surrendered to authorities June 28, 1971. "I felt as an American citizen as a responsible citizen I could no longer cooperate with concealing this information from the American people I am prepared for all consequences." However, neither Ellsberg nor Russo admits to breaking any laws. They say they released to the public material it was entitled to see, that they meant no harm to the country nor were trying to aid a foreign power. ZRIFIN, Israel (UPI) Kozo Okamoto admitted today that he participated in the massacre at Tel Aviv's Lod International Airport.

4 1 fired not only at tourists and visitors but at policemen as well," Okamoto, 24, told a military tribunal at the opening of his trial. "But I don't know how many people I killed." Standing In a waist-high, steel-plated dock and flanked by two military policemen who were manacled to his wrists, the young Japanese pleaded guilty to all four charges against him in the attack that killed 26 people and wounded 79 others at Lod May 30. Defense attorney Max Kritzman called on the three-man court to establish a commission of experts to determine whether Okamoto carried out the submachine gun attack while under the influence of drugs or on emotional impulse. Faces death penalty Kritzman said the defense does not contend that Okamoto is insane now, but asked that a psychiatric panel be set up to determine whether Okamoto was insane during the time of the attack. He said he wanted such an examination because his client pleaded guilty against his advice.

Three of the four charges against Okamoto carry the death penalty. The two other Japanese who launched the massacre at the airport were killed in the Okamoto said the attack was carried out in partnership with the Japanese military leftist organization known as The Red Army, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), an Arab guerrilla group. Fast ruling expected "We did all this in cooperation with that organization and we did it in common," Okamoto said, his remarks being translated into Hebrew and English. "We had done that together the Red Army together with the Popular Front as partners," he said. "If that was the wording of the charge, I want to plead guilty." Kritzman said earlier that he would enter a plea of innocent.

The guilty pleas were expected to force the tribunal, headed by Lt. Col. Avraham Frisch, to render a verdict almost immediately, thus precluding testimony by the 13 prosecution witnesses. Army troop in olive drab uniforms put the finishing security touches yesterday on a section of the Zrifin army base where Okamoto's trial was set up in an old recreation hall amid the most stringent court precautions since Nazi Adolph Eichmann was tried in 1961 for the mass murder of Jews during World War II. Okamoto is the only survivor of the three-man Japanese suicide squad.

He is a former agricultural student. His older brother hijacked a plane to North Korea in 1970. The grand jury indictment excludes the espionage law segment dealing with intent to harm the country, and the government says it need not prove such intent. The defense says espionage laws, usaully cited in spy cases, can't be interpreted to omit such intent. "This is a nontraditional espionage case," says Ellsberg's defense attorney, Leonard Boudin.

"We are writing here on a clean slate." Accused of theft The actual charges against Ellsberg and Russo never mention The New York Times or any other paper which subsequently printed the Pentagon Papers revelations. Neither of them is charged with giving the material to a newspaper. Instead, both are charged with conspiring to steal the documents from Rand the government think tank where they worked. Ellsberg is accused of giving the papers to persons not entitled to receive them. Receivers named In the indictment are Russo and two unindicted co-conspirators, Linda Sinary, who said the documents were copied on her Xerox machine, and Vu Van Thai, a former South Vietnamese ambassador to the United States, who is named in Ellsberg's indictment as having received one volume of the papers.

The government has contended that giving the documents to anyone no matter what the intent comprised expionage because the papers were marked top secret. The defense disputes this contention and is expected to claim at the trial that the government classifies documents as top secret routinely and without thought to whether they are actually crucial or sensitive in relation to the national defense. APMao Path of Fischer's final wish? Own chair flown to chess match The map traces the route over which today's eclipse of the Sun will be seen in totality. Up to 80 per cent of the Sun will be blocked out over New Jersey between 3:32 p.m. and 5:45, but conditions here were expected to be poor because of predicted clouds and possible thunderstorms.

Meanwhile, some local amateur astronomers have gone to Canada to see it. For their picture, see Page B-3. NATO troop cuts unthinkable, envoy says eclipse changes would be unthinkable and would have a very serious effect on the alliance. We cannot permit it to happen. "The time to move downward is when we get some sort of agreement." Kennedy predicted exploratory talks on mutual East-West troop cuts would begin later this year and must move forward parallel with the security conference.

"The two must be separated," he said, "but you can't have one without the other." Kennedy, 66, arrived March 21, and has spent most of his time visiting America's allies in Europe. said, "I am not going to argue about chairs, chessboards, and sets. I will leave that to Bobby. It makes no difference to me." After lengthy and dramatic preludes, both Fischer and Spassky appeared ready to start the first of their 24 games tomorrow. "Bobby is relaxed and ready.

We will play Tuesday unless Spassky is ill," said Fred Cramer, vice-president of the U.S. Chess Federation. But the players still have to inspect and approve the facilities in the hall, where the organizers expect 3,000 fans paying $5 each to be on hand. Gudmundur Arnlaugsson, deputy referee of the match, spent all day yesterday polishing off the fine details. He tested several chess boards and finally settled for one made in Iceland specially for the match.

It has been put together from Icelandic stones. Arnlaugsson, who had to take over when the chief referee Lothar Schmid of Germany flew home Saturday, also has a choice of five or six different chess sets of various sizes. Schmid said he would return Thursday after visiting his son, who was injured in a traffic accident. REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) The Boris Spassky-Bobby Fischer world chess match can begin Fischer's favorite chair has arrived. The swivel chair in metal and black leather was flown from New York to Iceland and put on the stage in the Reykjavik chess hall yesterday.

Spassky's Russian advisers arrived shortly after the much-talked-about chair and studied it suspiciously. They then left without comment. Now the Icelandic organizers face a new problem: Where to find a similar chair in Iceland? "It would look better if both Spassky and Fischer had the same chairs," said Gud-mundur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic Chess Federation. Fischer took one look at the dozen different chairs the Icelanders had assembled from Reykjavik's furniture stores the other day, sat down in some of them, and gave his verdict: "Fly in my own chair." Spassky, the 35-year-old world champion, did not seem to worry much about details of the $250,000 match.

However, the helicopter served only to tell them that Csanyi had reached the shore of Welfare Island, where he was doing pushups, and the launch was used to pull out the swimming policemen.
