Calif. AP) -British actor Peter Sellers was in Cedars of Lebanon Hospiii today, victim of a heart attack and for one of the rare times TODAY'S HEARTBURN With income taxes due, Goodman Ace'i Hne it again apt: "Who said you can't be wounded by blank?"

Also understand the candidate has been admonished several times by the instructor for disrupting the class Former Florida the decision by a vote of stockholders the tenants in the building. A two-thirds majority vote of the tenants would permit the Lawfords to buy the 16-room apartment, the tenant said.

Stanley Lowell, chairman of the City Commission on Human Rights, said his office had received an Inquiry about the sale of the Amory apartment. He said he told the caller the law forbids discrimination on grounds of race, religion or national origin, but it does not cover political or occupational fields. "As a good Democrat, I regretted this," Lowell said. The Lawfords, parents of four, could not be reached immediately for comment. NEW YORK (AP) Peter Lawford and his wife, Pat, sister of the late President Kennedy, have been barred from buying an apartment In a fashionable 15-story co-operative here reportedly because he is an actor and she is a Democrat.

The apartment's owner, socialite Charles Amory, said he was set to sell to the Lawfords when a hitch developed last night. "I can't understand It." Amory was quoted in the New York Dally News. "The Lawfords are wonderful people. All arrangements have been completed and the papers signed. The apartment building is at 117 E.

72nd just off Park Avenue. A tenant who asked not to be named said one of the five members of the building's board of directors turned thumbs down on the Lawfords. Unanimous approval by the board is required on all prospective sales. It was antici-pated that an attempt will be made to reverse in Hollywood a movie did not know which way to go. The 38-year-old British actor, probably one of the hottest properties in the world today, was stricken in his home yesterday with what the hospital called a moderate heart attack halfway between a light and heavy coronary.

The actor, one of the most versatile of British comedians, was rushed by ambulance to the hospital where his condition was first reported as "very ie-vere." Later, a hospital bulletin said, "Mr. Sellers suffered a moderate heart attack, and his condition was listed as fair. He is expected to be hospitalized for several weeks." It occurred during his first Hollywood filming, "Kiss Mc, Stupid." A spokesman for Harold Mi-risch, producer of the film, said: Sec. of State Clarence Gay, who now owns controlling stock in Pan American Bank of Miami, denies the rumor that the bank is being sold Big Porterhouse restaurant on S.

We don't know who else we could get to replace him. Our Insur-ance coven ui on this sort of thing, and I have feeling we will suspend the picture until we can get Peter Sellers back." The picture started on March 6. In it Sellers plays an amateur song writer in Climax, Nev.

He finds that a famed singer (Dean Martin) is stranded in the town. Sellers, using Kim Novak as a lure, seeks to keep Martin in the desert village while he tries to plug his songs. Sellers' bride of two months, Swedish actress Britt Eklund, 21, a beauteous blonde, said her husband had no previous history of ill health. I "He and I were dining together Sunday night, and he was in the best of health and the best of spirits," said Miss Eklund. "Then, early Monday morning, he complained of severe chest pains.

I called an ambulance and we took him to the hospital." Their honeymoon was interrupted when he came here to do the picture. She stayed in England, working on "Guns of Batasi," but on March 20 she abruptly left the picture and joined her husband here. Since then 20th Century-Fox has sued Sellers and Miss Eklund for million, alleging breach of contract. Sellers, a bard worker, has been known to play as many as seven different parts in one movie. During the last year he made five movies.

He specializes in double and triple roles and his fast-paced work schedule has become a Sellers trademark. In his most recent film, "Dr. Strangelove," Sellers suffered a broken leg and friends commented that that that was all that kept him from playing a fourth role. ALL DAY CRUISi To Ft.

IHillilU I FROHBOSE Speaker NEW YORK Xavier Cugat, one of the all-time famous bandleaders, is devastated because his wife, Abbe Lane has left him and all his efforts to get in touch with her have been in vain.

Although considerable mystery surrounds the breakup, close friends think Abbe is motivated by a compulsion to make it big in Hollywood with the help of Frank Sinatra, now a top executive at Warner Brothers. For many weeks, an act billed as Brascia and Tybee traveled with the Cugats, and encouraged Abbe to I jljiiS i 10 P.M. DINNER SERVED DAILY 4 P.M.

"If it is just a vacation from show business that she would like because she, too, is exhausted, I don't care if she wants to take a month, six months or a year, as long as it will help us get together again." The bandleader is particularly bitter about the statements issued by Abbe's father, implying that the rift occurred because Cugie was an old man and Abbe a mere 29.

True, there is a disparity in their ages, but the parents didn't seem to object to that when the wedding took place and the famous and wealthy Mr. Cugat was boosting Abbe's career. And Abbe isn't exactly 29; if she is, she was only 14 at the time she became a bride, and that fact certainly would have caused a stir in the press, not to mention the Marriage License Bureau.

She was Abbe Marshall then, and Cugie, who wanted an exciting-looking singer to tour with his band, hired her. He is credited with telling her how to dress, advising her on the proper makeup, and giving her invaluable tips as a performer. Before long, he fell in love with her, there was a headlined "other woman" scene in Chicago, and his wife, Lorraine, divorced him. Abbe and the bandleader married, and she became an important asset to his act. Her sensational figure drew even more attention than her singing.

They seemed to be a devoted couple during the 15 years of their marriage. At the moment, Cugie doesn't know which way to turn. He says: "I am doing my utmost to bring Abbe back to me, and I would even give up my career if it is necessary because my happiness with Abbe is the only thing that counts with me.
