The suit is being lauched by Yoko Ono, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison
against Paul McCartney for $8.6 million.  According to the Sunday Mirror,
the suit, which was filed in New York, claims McCartney earns more royal-
ties from the Beatles hits than do the other Beatles.  Bob O'Neill, legal
spokesman for Capitol-EMI Records, was quoted by the paper as saying that
McCartney's extra money comes from the record company's cut and that it
does not affect the other ex-Beatles' shares.
