-CP Wlrephoto How's this? REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) A newly-ordained Lutheran minister, preaching his first sermon, assailed chess champions Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky Sunday. Rev. Olafur Jens Sigurdsson said in a religious broadcast that Fischer, the American challenger for the world championship here, was guilty of the "sin of greed" and Soviet titleholder Spassky the "sin of anger." Fischer was asleep in his quarters; Spassky was fishing for salmon. The two are scheduled to meet Tuesday in the first game of their match for the world chess championship. The clergyman's reference to Fischer's alleged "greed" recalled the American's threat to wreck the 24-game series unless the Icelanders gave him more money.

Spas-sky's anger was shown in the world champion's threat to walk out unless he got an apology from Fischer for delaying the match over money. The match is the talk of Iceland. The sentiment seemed to favor Spassky. Fischer's behavior appeared to have eroded his early position as the popular favorite in a place where the Russians aren't well liked. In addition to resentment at Fischer's demand for money, some Icelanders don't like the fact that he requires a police guard.

A non-chess-playing waitress commented: "Spassky goes around freely. He's not afraid. What's the matter with Fischer?"

Past experience, most notably the 1959 eclipse in Australia during which 170 persons suffered damage to the retina of the eye, has proved scheduled to begin play Tuesday with i a 's Spassky, the present world champion. Spassky and his aides examined the hall Sunday and expressed satisfaction with the arrangements. Fischer demanded a chair of the same type he used to heat Tigran Petrosian of the Soviet Union in the final match of the candidate series last year in Buenos Aires. The Icelandic federation scoured the island for a similar chair without luck. However, the crisis was overcome when a chair was airlifted in from the United States.

REYKJAVIK (Reuter) Temperamental chess gtfiiUI Bobby Fischer paid a surprise visit early today to the hall where he will play Boris Spas-sky for the world chess championship and emerged after a two-hour inspection apparently unsatisfied with a number of arrangements. The 29-year-old American grandmaster, accompanied by two advisers and officials of the Icelandic Chess Federation, entered the (in 11 at I a.m., only hours after a special chair he had demanded was flown in from New York. It was not known just what did not satisfy Fischer who is fully exposed and developed pieces of black and white film. Color film should not be used because it does not contain enough metallic silver to reflect infra-red radiation. One of the worst risks lies in using magnifying lenses, such as telescopes or binoculars.

Even with commercial filters, these devices do not protect the observer's eyes and can compound the risk by magnifying the impact of the sunrays on the retina. It should be remembered that viewing the sun through a telescope is how the 16th century astronomer Galileo was blinded. The eclipse starting on the Arctic coast of Alaska and travelling southeast across Canada at almost 2.000 miles an hour today will be the next-to-last one visible in North America in the 20th Century. It will cross Hudson Bay. cen of the reduced light during an eclipse, they think their eyes will not be hurt.

But even if the sun is 99 per cent obscured, it emits enough visible, ultraviolet and infra red rays to cause the painless retinal damage. Specialists say the best way to view an eclipse is on television. But other indirect methods which can be used are viewing the reflection in a pool of water not in a glass or mirrored vessel, however, or using a pinhole projector. One should not view the eclipse through sunglasses, used photo negatives, tinted glass, telescopes, commercial sun filters or welders glasses. These devices screen some of the glare and visible sun rays, but are mostly ineffective in stopping invisible infra-red rays.

Direct viewing can be fairly safe by using two or three Ernie S.

No hometowns were LOD, Israel (AP) The Japanese terrorist who survived the Tel Aviv airport massacre pleaded guilty at the opening of his trial today, but the Israeli military court rejected the plea. It also postponed final decision on a request by the defence that the terrorist. Kozo Oka-moto, 24. be given a mental examination.

"I don't want an examination," the defendant shouted. The court's rejection of the plea means the prosecution will have to present its case. Turkish authorities reported that a search of the wreckage of the bus, which was on the overland route to Karachi, had revealed quantities of drugs. They said several of the uninjured survivors had been taken into custody for possession of hashish cigarettes and that there may be a court appearance today. Eleven of those injured were reported to be still in hospital at Yozgat.

The others were treated for lesser injuries. i gf Wk ''km WkYkK km Okamoto is accused along with two other Japanese in the murder of 26 persons at Lod Airport May 30. The two other Japanese also were killed, and 67 other persons were wounded in the machine-gun attack. The court said it would accept as proven "those facts which he admitted" in answering charges that he helped stage the airport massacre May 30. Although Okamoto pleaded guilty, he disputed some of the facts.

The tribunal then recessed to weigh the plea and the defence request for an examination by a panel of psychiatrists. In effect, the ruling was a novel twist on routine Israeli legal procedure. Had the court accepted the guilty plea it would have automatically been forced to convict Okamoto, exposing him to a possible death sentence. The prosecution now will try to prove its case beyond doubt. The court deliberated for almost two hours before its president.

Abraham Frish. announced the decisions on the examination request and the guilty plea by Okamoto.
