He said he could not face the high court without a decision, one way or the other. Harish said that the four Shin Bet men involved would be interrogated by the police but no charges would be brought against them since they were pardoned in ad- vance by the President. But Prime Minister Shimon Peres, who had been willing to go along with a judicial inquiry, warned that a police probe could implicate "others," meaning ap- parently Shin Bet agents not pardoned. Legal experts said that the police could also investigate the political echelons, although Cabinet ministers and Knesset members are immune from prosecution unless their immun- ity is lifted by the Knesset. Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir, leader of Likud, was Prime Minister at the time of the bus hijack incident and could conceivably be questioned by the police. Shin Bet is re- sponsible only to the Prime Minister. The Supreme Court, mean- while, is considering petitions to declare the presidential pardons invalid. But it is not certain the court will ever act on them. The Justices affirmed that President Herzog acted within his con- stitutional powers. The petitioners contend that the Shin Bet chief and his aides, having never been officially charged with any offenses, were in fact not offenders in the legal sense and therefore ineligible for pardons. Study Finds Anti-Bias Laws are Unenforced "More Than An Office Store" - rightwing Knesset members congratulated the Cabinet deci- sion. Leftwingers lambasted it. The investigation involves al- legations that Avraham Shalom as head of the Shin Bet, Israel's internal security service, and three of his top aides were crim- inally implicated in the unex- plained deaths of two Arab bus hijackers in custody or security agents in April, 1984° and engaged in elaborate coverups at two subsequent quasi-judicial inquiries. Former Attorney General Yit- zhak Zamir ordered a police in- vestigation of the case but the order was rescinded by Harish who replaced Zamir last month. The government, from the out- set, had been reluctant to in- itiate an inquiry on grounds of State security. The fear was that top secret operations of Shin Bet would be exposed. But the Cabinet's hope that the matter was laid to rest after President Chaim Herzog granted blanket pardons to Shalom and his aides last month were dashed when the Supreme Court intervened. The high court, hearing challenges to the pardons by several legal groups, ordered the government on July 1 to show cause why an official inquiry should not be launched. Harish, who must reply to the court order soon, told the Cabinet that a police investiga- tion was the least desirable of its two options. He urged a judi- cial commission which would conduct its hearings in strict secrecy under terms of reference that would not compromise the Shin Bet's operations. However, Harish made clear that he New York — State agencies charged with safeguarding civil rights are lax in enforcing anti-discrimination laws, a study by the American Jewish Congress has found. An 82-page report drawn from the study says the agencies have compiled at best a mediocre re- cord because they are not funded adequately, employ un- qualified personnel, fail to com- mence enforcement action on their own initiative, refuse to introduce or follow time limits in resolving cases and lack a streamlined administrative structure. The American Jewish Con- gress report, entitled State Civil Rights Agencies: The Unfulfilled Promise, includes data compiled by the regional offices of the organization. Seven states were covered: Georgia, Massachu- setts, Michigan, Missouri, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Most state agencies, the re- port said, tend to ignore time limits on cases. In Michigan, the average time for a complaint to be processed from filing to hear- ing is four years. None of the state agencies studied operate in such a fashion as to provide a final adjudication of most com- plaints in less than a year. Another weakness cited in the report, is the failure of the human rights agencies to set up formal guidelines for determin- ing whether there is "probable cause" to pursue a complaint. In most states, it notes, the number of complaints dismissed for lack of probable cause is about 50 percent. The study also found that for the seven states studied, an av- erage of only seven percent of filed complaints are ever for- mally adjudicated, ranging from two percent in Massachusetts to 12 percent in Ohio. The report offers the following a e suggestions for ',:upr_• . -ed agency enforcement of anti- discrimination laws: increase money for earmarked items, im- prove staff quality, demand more vigorous enforcement, and streamline organizational structure.
