NEW YORK - They could not be in
Strawberry Fields forever, but many at
least spent the day there singing,
talking and remembering John Lennon
on the fifth anniversary of his murder.
Dozens of fans of the former Beatle
came together Sunday at a teardrop
shaped section of Central Park that
was dedicated in Lennon's memory
Oct. 9, shortly after what would have
been his 45th birthday.
Strawberry Fields is on the edge of
the park, and through barren trees
Lennon's admirers could see the spot
in front of the Dakota apartments
where he was shot by Mark David
Chapman the night of Dec. 8, 1980.
Chapman is serving a term of 20
years to life at Attica Correctional
Facility in upstate New York.
No formal ceremonies were sche
duled. Elliot Mintz, a family spokes
man, said Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono,
and their 10-year-old son, Sean, would
be in the city Sunday, but declined to
say if they would be in their apartment
at the Dakota.
Mintz said Ono would use the day for
"quiet reflection."
Some of those who gathered Sunday
at Strawberry Fields sat on benches
and stared. Others gathered near a por
table stereo to hear the Beatles' album,
"Revolver" and sing along as one per
son strummed a guitar.
Most were too young to remember
the British rock invasion that brought
the Beatles and their music to the Uni
ted States in 1964.
But their emotion was evident, as
young women dropped flowers in the
center of a 10-foot, black-and-white
starburst mosaic featuring the word
"Imagine," the title of Lennon's big
gest post-Beatles hit. Someone had
placed an envelope in the mosaic's
center, inscribed "John Lennon . . .
1985."
In London, Paul McCartney said he
still is mourning the death of his
former Beatles songwriting partner.
"I still cannot believe he is dead,"
McCartney said in a rare television
interview.
"I think I would include myself in a
kind of top-10 list of people who loved
John most," McCartney said, on Inde
pendent Television's "Good Morning
Britain."
"I was probably more shattered than
most people when John died. I had
plenty of sort of personal grief but I am
not very good about public grief," said
McCartney, 43.
McCartney said he missed Lennon
musically. The two were responsible for
writing nearly all of the Beatles' tunes
from albums such as "Sgt. Pepper's
Lonely Hearts Club Band," "Revolver,"
"Magical Mystery Tour" and "Abbey
Road."
"He was definitely the best colla
borator I have ever worked with . . .He
was great, he was smart, and we started
off together."
New controversy about the two Bea
tles' relationship arose after an inter
view with McCartney was published
Nov. 5.
The telephone interview with author
Hunter Davis was published in Bri
tain's Woman Magazine four years after
the interview was conducted. It quoted
McCartney as describing Lennon as
jealous, insecure with women, and a
"manuvering swine" who took credit
for songs he did not write.
After the interview was published,
McCartney issued a statement saying:
"I'd like to make it clear that John
Lennon was no angel, but I, like mil
lions of others, loved him dearly."
In Moscow's Lenin Hills, meanwhile,
a popular tourist and weekend skiing
site, Soviet police arrested four people
Sunday in breaking up a gathering of
about 25 young people marking the
anniversary of Lennon's death.
Western reporters at the scene said
the young people were listening to
Beatles tunes on a portable tape
recorder. They said that as the song
"Back In The U.S.S.R." was playing, six
policemen stopped the music and
ordered the group to scatter.

Guatemalans elect civilian president
GUATEMALA CITY Guatemalans voted Sunday for a civilian presi
dent after more than 30 years of virtually uninterrupted and oaen brutal
military rule in this Central American country.
The runoff election was between Vinicio Cerezo, 42, a lawyer who is the
slightly left-of center candidate from the Christian Democratic Party, and
Jorge Carpio, 53, a newspaper publisher viewed as a somewhat right-of-center
candidate from the Nation Center Union.
They were the top vote-getters in the first election Nov. 3 in which eight
candidates ran, but in which no candidate received a clear majority as
required by law.
The new president will succeed Gen. Oscar Humberto Mejia Victores,
the last of five successive military rulers. He came to power in a coup in
1883, deposing Gen. Efrain Jose Rios Montt, who, in turn, gained power in
1882 coup.
7 S. Asian nations to pool efforts
DHAKA, Bangladesh Seven South Asian nations representing a fifth
of the world's population pledged Sunday to pool their efforts to aid their
poor and work toward ending the distrust that divides several of the
countries.
The leaders of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan
and the Maldives signed a charter forming the South Asian Association for
Ecgional Cooperation, to the applause of hundreds of delegates and
officials.
The regional group represents 1 billion people, including many of the
poorest on Earth, and was formed to solve common problems of hunger,
poverty and illiteracy.
But the association leaders also said they would help the member
nations overcome disagreements that have led to wars and decades of
bitter relations.
The leaders agreed to hold annual summit meetings, with the next in
November 1986 in New Delhi.
Officials search for.escaped prisoner
OKLAHOMA CITY Police used dogs and a helicopter Sunday as they
searched an airport and surrounding counties for a prisoner who jumped
wearing leg irons and handcuffs from a speeding airplane moments after it
landed.
Reginald D. Still, 41, leaped from the plane's emergency exit onto the
wing and then onto the runway Saturday while the craft, with eight guards
aboard, was moving at nearly 60 mph at Will Rogers World Airport.
Still was being taken from a federal hospital in Springfield, Mo., to
Sacramento, Calif., where he was to go on trial on a charge of interstate
transportation of a stolen motor vehicle, said U.S. Marshal Stuart Earnest.
Asked how Still managed to get by the eight guards aboard the plane,
Earnest said: "No comment. That's under investigation."
