American Girh Join Campaign To 'Save The Beatles 9 In V. S. TOAST TO THE MARRIAGE First Lt. Gerard Nugent, brother of Pat Nugent who will wed Luci Johnson in Washington today, "toasts" the wedding for a photographer in South Viet Nam. He was eating his dinner at his field position about 20 miles southwest of Da Nang.

The lieu- tenant is a company commander in the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marines. (AP Photofax) By RAYMOND PAIJIEM LONDON (AP) Two Ameri- can girls called on Britons today to support their "Save the Bea ties campaign" in the United States. Their appeal in an ad in the personal column of the Daily Telegraph, came as the "Ban the Beatles" campaign spread to Spain and South Africa and a new controversy stirred up in Britain. The American girls are Susan Dobbs and Theresa Earlcs of Hopcwcll, Va. Their ad said they had founded the "Save the Beatles campaign" in the Unit- ed States.

It went on: "Dozens of radio stations across the states are banning their records and hav- ing bonfires, because of a state- ment by John Lcnnon. We have a petition to get them back on the air. Please, England help us, we love them, too." The 12-line ad cost the girls $33.60. Lennon's quote in a five- So far about 20 U.S. radio sta- tions have banned Beatle records.

The ban is spreading to other countries. Briaji Epstein, of the Beatles, said in New York the British singers will fulfill their American engagements starting next week despite the "Ban the Beatles" n.ovc. Epstein said Friday, "they will arrive in Chicago as sched- uled on Aug. 11" for a 19-day our. Meanwhile, Beatle George stirred up more trou- ble.

In an interview with a mu- sical paper he commented on the British government and its proposal to ban pirate radio sta- tions which pump out pop music and lard in commercial adver- tising which is banned on Brit- ish airwaves. He was quoted as saying "Why don't they make the crummy BBC (British Broad- casting Corporation) illegal as well. The government makes me sick. This is becoming a police state. They should leave Ihe pirates alone.

At least they have had a go is more than the BBC have done." Today In Washington WASHINGTON (AP) The conference of hemisphere for ministers in Argentina has postponed because it a deep split in the of American Costa Rica, Organization States. Venezuela. Colombia and Ecuador have refused to recognize the govern of Gen. Juan Carlos On- gania, who was installed as of the Argentine state June 29. His installation fol- lowed the military expulsion from office of President Arturo Illia.

Mexico, arguing that if the meeting were held in Buenos it would be boycotted by several nations, offered a mo- tion Friday to delay indefinitely the Aug. 29 meeting. The motion was approved by a 16-0 vote with four absten- tions. The United States voted for the postponement. (AP) The currently tight money market is 'being reflected--among other 'places--in the high interest i rates now offered by at least two federal agencies.

The Federal National Mort- gage Association, also known as rFannie Mae, is offering for sale $300 million in debentures at the highest interest rate it has placed on any type of security. The 5.25 per cent interest of- by the Treasury Depart- -ment on new long-term securi- ties issues in exchange for those to mature is the highest rate it has offered in 45 years. Fannie Mae is offering the debenutres at 5 7 per cent inter- rate to increase the money it will be able to make available to the home mortgage market. Last June, Fannie Mae of- fered its previous interest per cent on certifi- cates of participation. These are securities backed by pools of government loans and mort- gages owned by the govern- in ent.

GIs Rushed debentures offered for gale Friday are written in de- nominations as low as $1,000. The issue will be dated Aug. 23 and mature Sept. 10, 1968.

The military spokesman re- ported no losses in Friday's raids on the north and said the 15 missiles fired at U.S. pilots all missed. Other key targets in Friday's air strikes against North Viet Nam were oil storage facilities and radar sites near the port city of Haiphong.

Navy planes from carriers in the South China Sea attacked the Do So oil dump 17 miles southeast of Haiphong. The U.S. command pilots reported they left the target in flames. Air Force planes hit radar sites 10 to 15 miles northwest of Haiphong, but no results were announced. Navy planes also attacked an oil depot 45 miles northwest of Vinh on the coast, and a large secondary explosion was report- ed.

Sometimes i players argue about success. South studied dummy for about ten minutes before playing the first card from dummy. Then he won the trick in his own hand and played out dummy's ace and kins of clubs. When both opponents followed to the second club South conceded a club trick and claimed his contract. North remarked, "Your play worked, but as a matter of strict mathematics you should lave won the spade in and taken a double diamond fi- nesse.

Unless West held both king and queen of diamonds that slay would have worked. There a 76 per cent chance of find- ng one of two honors in the fiast hand. There is only a 68 Der cent chance of breaking the clubs 3-2." South replied, "The actual chance of success with the club play was 71 per cent. I don't play in a vacuum and would have abandoned clubs had they broken 5-0 but you overlook the fad that w.v club play gave a considerable extra chauee. Suppose Kast showed out cm the second club.

1 would go after diamonds and have a 24 per cent chance of making my con- tract. East could hold both diamond honors. Or West might show out on the second club. Then 1 would still have a per cent chance of success be- cause 1 would make the hand if honors divided." North and South have appeal- itirilis CAMERON Mr. and Mrs.
