Israeli, did not demand the death
penalty but asked instead for life
imprisonment. Earlier, defense
counsel Max Kritzman asked the
court not to impose capital pun-
ishment and to avoid making Oka-
moto a martyr.
Okamoto received the life sen-
tence for discharging firearms
and throwing hand grenades which
killed and maimed and participat-
ing with others in these actions.
On another count of rendering ser-
vices to an illegal organization
(The Popular Front for the Liber-
ation of Palestine), he was sen-
tenced to 10 years' imprisonment.
Lt. Col. Frisch stated that the
defendant's guilt was proven be-
yond reasonable doubt and noted
that Okamoto had confessed to all
charges against him.
The accused had made a lengthy
statement expounding his political
philosophy and claiming that the

Eagleton has maintained that
there is no contradiction between'
his support of the sale of jet
planes to Israel and his opposi-
tion to C.S. involvement in South-
east Asia. On June 3, 1970, he
told his Senate colleagues:
•
••
Southeast Asia advances the na-
tional security of the United States;
indeed it detracts from it in other
parts of the world. I believe that
the United States does have cer-
tain interests, and where they can
reasonably be pursue d. they
should be. I believe the United
States has an interest in the Middle
East."
Sen. Eagleton has said he fully
supports the five-point pro-Israel
plank in the Democratic Party's
platform and will speak out in its
favor during the election cam-
paign.
"I am 100 per-cent for the plat-
form as written. and that includes
the Middle East and Israel."
Eagleton said at his senatorial of-
fice on Capitol Hill. Transfer of
the American Embassy from Tel
Aviv to Jerusalem is one of the
plank's points.

policy and national defense, said
that Eagleton will "not let this
campaign go by allowing the
public to believe Nixon has been

He added that - Eagleton be-

the delivery of Phantom jets t ∎ i
Israel in 1970-71."
Both McGovern and Eagleton
will deliver interviews on the Mid-
dle East during the campaign, At-
wood said. "Both are very strong
on this issue," he added.
