Beatle John Lennon was scheduled to attend a press conference this afternoon at the Sheraton-Brock Hotel — all in the cause of peace.

The conference was arranged by seminarians from Mount Carmel College who began a peace vigil at noon today at the Rainbow Bridge.

Bill Dorgan, a spokesman for the seminarians, said a telegram had been received from Lennon in which the pop star confirmed he or his representative would attend the press conference.
