WOULD MAKE IT ISRAEL'S CAPITAL
Jerusalem bill acted on
JERUSALEM (AP) - The Israeli
parliament yesterday approved the fir-
st stage of a controversial bill making
Jerusalem, including the annexed Arab
sector, Israel's capital.
Prime Minister Menachem Begin left
his sickbed to appear for the vote and
lead a 65-12 majority. The bill now goes
to a committee for final preparation for
enactment.
THE BILL HAS drawn strong
criticism from Arab countries and
other nations that maintain Israel has
no right to claim sovereignty over
predominantly Arab East Jerusalem,
which it captured from Jordan in the
1967 Mideast War.
The United States, Israel's main ally,
is embarrassed by the bill because the
question of who will govern East
Jerusalem is one of the points to be
worked out in the U.S.-sponsored Camp
David peace process between Israel
and Egypt.
Introduction of the bill in May was
one reason Egyptian President Anwar
Sadat temporarily suspended talks on a
form of autonomy for Palestinians
living in Israeli-occupied Arab
territory.
EGYPT REGARDS East Jerusalem
as part of the West Bank of the Jordan
River, and wants the city's 100,000
Arabs to vote in elections for a
Palestinian self-rule council.
Begin told reporters the bill was
meant to emphasize to the United
Nations, meeting in emergency session
to discuss the Palestinian issue, that
Jerusalem "is the eternal capital of
Israel and of the Jewish people, one
city, an indivisible city for all
generations to come."
Begin ridiculed the United Nations,
which he said had turned from a
peacekeeping mechanism "to an
aggression-promoting organization."
THE KNESSET, Israel's parliament,
has three more days of sessions before
adjourning until October. Observers
believed chances were slim the bill
could go through the committee and
win final approval before the recess.
The action by the Knesset follows
other moves by the government to
strengthen its hold on the disputed city.
Begin plans to move his office from the
Jewish western sector to East
Jerusalem.
"The decisive answer on Jerusalem
will come not from the dais of the
United Nations, but in a law from the
podium of the Knesset," said Geula
Cohen, the right-wing opposition mem-
ber who sponsored the bill. The United
Nations over the years has constantly
chastised Israel on Jerusalem issues.
THE BILL formalizes as a basic law
- Israel's equivalent to a constitution
- earlier administrative orders
declaring Jerusalem the capital.
It says "the integrity and unity of
Jerusalem as delineated after the Six
Day war shall not be impaired," and
stipulates Jerusalem will be the per-
manent location of the government, the
Knesset and Supreme Court.
Opponents say Cohen's bill adds
nothing to Jerusalem's status as the
capital, which has been confirmed in
several Supreme Court decisions, while
it makes Israel appear more uncom-
promising in the Palestinian autonomy
talks.
The government and the opposition
Labor party hesitated to support the bill
but found they could not vote against it
because of a national consensus in
Israelsnever to redivide or relinquish
sovereignty over Jerusalem.
On Monday, a Cabinet committee
decided to move the headquarters of
two government ministries from Tel
Aviv to Jerusalem, leaving only the
Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv, the
nation's business center.

Sellers, 54, dies of
massive heart attack
From APandUPI
LONDON - Peter Sellers, the British
actor of many voices who played roles
from the bumbling Inspector Clousseau
to the terrifying Dr. Strangelove, died
yesterday without regaining con-
sciousness from a massive heart at-
tack, hospital officials said. He was 54.
Sellers, whose comic genius was of-
ten compared to that of film immortal
Charlie Chaplin, lost his fight to heart
disease, which had plagued him for 16
years, suffering his first heart attack in
1964.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT from Lon-
don's Middlesex Hospital said Sellers
died at 7:28 p.m. EDT.
"Mr. Sellers' death was entirely due
to natural causes," a hospital
spokesman said. "His heart just faded
away. His condition deteriorated very
suddenly."
The spokesman said the full medical
team of the hospital's intensive care
unit was present during the last few
moments and added: "Every effort
was made to keep his heart going, but it
just did not respond. There was a very
rapid deterioration. It was not possible
to restart the heart. It ceased to
respond."
In his film roles, Sellers created hun-
dreds of memorable characters: Indian
doctor, choleric general, power-drunk
scientist, the bumbling Inspector
Clousseau in the Pink Panther series.
Each role displayed his mastery of in-
spired satire and merciless observation
of the foibles of his fellow men.
But he once confessed: "I have no
personality of my own whatsoever. No
personality to offer to the public."
Although millions stood in line to see
his movies, Sellers confessed: "I writhe
when I see myself on the screen. I mean
I look such an idiot."
1979, when Marwil took his case to
Shapiro following rejection by then-
Engineering Dean David Ragone of a
faculty grievance committee recom-
mendation that a tenure review be
granted.
In May, 1978 the humanities depar-
tment administative committee con-
ducted a non-reappointment review of
Marwil's contract and decided to allow
it to terminate at the end of his sixth
year-in May, 1979-without the per-
formance of a tenure review.
ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE
members cited what they alleged to be
Marwil's frequently intemperate
behavior, as well as questionable
scholarly production and worsening
student evaluations, as reasons for the
denial of a tenure review.
Shapiro said that after studying the
case, he directed the engineering
college executive committee to conduct
a new evaluation of Marwil to eliminate
any doubts within the University com-
munity that Marwil had been given an
incomplete or unfair review.
The College executive committee
then instructed the humanities depar-
tment adminsitrative committee to
again review Marwil's contract. The
administrative committee reaffirmed
its earlier decision to allow Marwil's
contract to terminate, a decision in turn
reaffirmed by the executive commit-
tee.
WITH REGARD TO University
policies on tenure reviews, Shapiro
testifed although non-tenured
professors have no right to a tenure
review in their sixth year, they do have

a right to an evaluation of their work
before a decision is made on contract
renewal.
Under cross-examination by Mar-
wil's attorney, Jerold Lax, Shapiro said
he had "no general understanding of
the term 'tenure review.'
"We never used the word 'tenure
review' in the economics department,"
said Shapiro, who is an economics
professor. "I understood an 'evaluatioi=
of work' took place when someone was:
considered for promotion or tenure," he
continued.
THE PRESIDENT ADDED that as
an assistant professor, he had only a
'vague idea' of the type of review he
would receive when considered for
promotion.
Both Shapiro and defendant Steven-
son testified yesterday regarding their
opinions of the stigma attached to
denial of tenure as a tenure review
Shapiro said he believed the denial of
a tenure review would not significantly
impair Marwil's ability to obtain
another job at a different university.
Stevenson concurred, saying that it
would have been much more damaging
to Marwil had he been denied tenure af-
ter a tenure review.
Marwil has contended exactly the op-
posite: that denial of a tenure review is
more damaging than denial of actual
tenure, because prospective employers
might question the qualifications of an
individual who could not even reach the
tenure review stage.
