MARRIED. Sandy Duncan, 34, pert singer-actress who has soared through 374 performances as Broadway's longest-flying Peter Pan; and Don Correia, 29, a dancer who has appeared with her in TV specials and a nightclub act; she for the third time, he for the first; in New York City.

DIED. Peter Sellers, 54, English master of comedy and mimicry who was a one-man cast of thousands; of a heart attack; in London.

DIED. Salah Eddin al-Bitar, 68, former Syrian Prime Minister and a leader of the opposition to the present regime of Hafez Assad; of an assassin's bullet; in Paris. He was a co-founder in 1943 of the Ba'ath (Renaissance) Party, which advocated Arab nationalism, unity and social reform. As Foreign Minister in the mid-'50s, Bitar engineered the country's 1958 merger with Egypt in the short-lived United Arab Republic; in the '60s he served as Prime Minister four times, until a military putsch in 1966 led to his arrest and exile.

DIED. Hans J. Morgenthau, 76, political scientist credited with establishing the study of foreign policy as a separate academic discipline; following surgery for a perforated ulcer; in New York City. A German-born Jew, Morgenthau fled the Nazi regime for the U.S., where he became known for a bluntly realistic approach to foreign policy. Influential among policymakers, he gained a national audience as an early and ardent critic of U.S. involvement in Viet Nam.

DIED. Maria Montoya Martinez, ninetyish, a Pueblo Indian and the most famous of native American potters, whose sophisticated, lustrous black-on-black ware, perfectly shaped and balanced without the use of a wheel, was exhibited in major museums and sold for up to $15,000; in San Ildefonso Pueblo, N. Mex. In the early 1900s, she and her husband Julian revived the ancient Indian pottery-making methods suggested by shards found in excavated funeral mounds: Julian found that firing the pots with horse manure and wood ash produced the silvery-black glaze they sought. After Julian's death in 1943, Maria continued to work with her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and other villagers; the craft business they built revitalized her once moribund pueblo.
