Frisch acknowledged that the state prosecutor, Lt. Col. David 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 Lydda Airport massacre was only a small part in a "war" aimed at destroying world society as it is presently structured.

United States should continue to help Israel to maintain a military equilibrium, the newsletter reports. 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. Bryan Atwood. Eagleton's leg- assistant on foreign islative policy and national defense, said that Eagleton will "not let this campaign go by allowing the public to believe Nixon has been a consistent supporter of Is- rael," He added that - Eagleton be- lieves Nixon dragged his feet on 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. Warsaw Jewish Theater to Play in W.
