WASHINGTON: Former Beatle John Lennon and his wife, Yoko Ono, holds a news conference at the National Press Club April 28th. New York Mayor John V. Lindsay has intervened in behalf of the Lennons in their bid to avert deportation from the United States. In a letter to the Commissioner of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, made public April 28th, Lindsay urged that deportation proceedings against the couple be dropped and that they be granted resident alien status. Lennon is facing deportation on the basis of a four-year-old conviction in Britain on possession of marijuana.
