The state medical examiner's office is determining the cause of her death, believed to be from natural causes. Mrs. Douglas was born and raised in Wilmington. She was a Lot Angela Timet Ellsworth Bunker, who retired as a leading sugar manufacturer at age 56 and went on to become one of this nation's most skilled and successful diplomats, died Thursday night in Brattleboro. after a brief illness.

He was 90. Bunker, who lived in the small southern Vermont town of Dum-marston, had entered Brattleboro Hospital Sept. 13 with a viral infection. The cause of Bunker's death was not immediately disclosed, but spokeswoman Kathleen Oliver said that in addition to the infection, "there had been complications because of his age." Among his many assignments, Bunker served as U.S. ambassador to Argentina, Italy, India and South Vietnam, as a delegate to the U.N.

General Assembly, as U.S. representative to the Organization of American States and as ambassa-dor-at-large. In between, Bunker undertook various presidential trouble-shooting missions that won him high acclaim for his mediating talents. His last major role before again retiring in 1978 was as co-chairman with Sol M. Linowitz of the U.S.

negotiating team that successfully concluded the Panama Canal treaties in 1977 after 13 years of tortuous on-and-off bargaining. The two treaties, angrily opposed by many conservatives, including Ronald Reagan before he became president, will gradually cede control of the canal to Panama by the century's end and guarantee its permanent neutrality. The pacts finally were ratified in 1978 after a lengthy and bitter debate in the Senate. It was frequently said of Bunker that his remarkable diplomatic career was rivaled only by that of W. Averell Harriman.

Like Harri-man, who preceded him by three years at Yale University, Bunker came from a wealthy Ivy League background and entered government after many lucrative years in private business. Bunker happened into government through a classic case of serendipity. In 1951. Secretary of State Dean Acheson, who as a Yale sophomore had coached Bunker's fresh-' man rowing crew, remembered his old friend when President Harry S. Truman was looking for a new ambassador to Argentina.

At the time, Argentine dictator Juan Peron, who has since died, was at the height of his power and was in a vehemently anti-American mood, pushing U.S.-Argentine relations into severe disarray. Bunker was then board chairman of the National Sugar Refining which his father had helped found, and was totally lacking in diplomatic experience. But Acheson viewed Bunker as an ideal choice for the sensitive Argentine post because of his extensive business background in Latin America and his fluency in Spanish. Accepting Acheson offer, Bunker retired from business to start a new career one that was to last 27 years. In Buenos Aires, he adopted a policy he described as "masterly inaction." It was a policy designed to frustrate Peron's attempts to provoke U.S.

envoys, and by pursuing it patiently and skillfully, Bunker succeeded in mending the rift between the two nations. Several years later, after Bunker had served with distinction as ambassador to Italy and India, Acheson explained why he had chosen a businessman inexperienced in diplomacy to fill the Argentine post back in 1951. He said: "Wherever Ellsworth goes, he is always entirely himself and he always represents the United States. He's not like some who put on a sari and splash around in a rice paddy. He's reserved, cool and calm.

Why, Nehru once asked me to send more like him. 'I don't want any of your would-be he told me." Bunker was indeed cool and unflappable. When he was ambassador to South Vietnam, the Saigon press called him "Mr. Refrigerator." A diplomatic correspondent once wrote that Bunker had "an air of having bathed every day of his life in cold spring water." Austere, dignified, courtly, aristocratic these often were the adjectives used to describe Bunker. He was a tall, thin man of 6-feet-2 with white hair and blue eyes.

He wore amber-framed glasses and was noted for his ramrod-straight posture. Bunker attributed his success as a diplomatic negotiator to a combination of patience, determination, tact, honesty, discretion and an understanding of his opponent's problems. "One of the first essentials in any successful negotiation is a question of integrity and rust," Bunker said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times at his 350-acre dairy farm near Putney, on Sept. 13, 1983. "If you can't develop a situa- 7 a 2j Ellsworth Bunker in 1976 tion of trust, you have little chance of succeeding." Asked how he achieved trust, Bunker said: "You've got to try to put yourself in the other person's shoes and try to discover what is important to him as well as what is important to yourself.

You've got to discover what is essential to him and try to see what you can do to accommodate his views as well as your own." "The object of diplomacy," Bunker said, "is to gain objectives, not win arguments." Bunker, a descendant of Nantucket whalers and New York Dutch Reformed ministers, was born in Yonkers, N.Y., on May 11, 1894. to George R. and JeanPol-hemus Bunker. After attending private schools, he entered Yale, where he majored in history and economics. On graduating in 1916, he entered his father's sugar company.

Poor eyesight kept Bunker out of World War I. During World War II, he headed the Cane Sugar Refiners War Committee, which made him the nominal czar of the domestic sugar industry. Although a Democrat, Bunker served comfortably under every president from Truman through Jimmy Carter. When Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower became president in 1953, he replaced Bunker as ambassador to Italy with Clare Booth Luce.

Bunker returned home and became the first salaried president of the American National Red Cross. But Eisenhower shortly made Bunker a delegate to the U.N. General Assembly, and in 1956 named him ambassador to India, a post he held until 1961. In 1962. President John F.

Kennedy, at the request of the United Nations, asked him to mediate a dispute that threatened to cause a war between the Netherlands and Indonesia. After months of trying negotiations. Bunker persuaded the Dutch to cede Irian Barat, a dependency on the western half of the island of New Guinea, to Indonesia. Another success came when he played the key role in settling a crisis that occurred in the Dominican Republic after President Lyndon B. Johnson dispatched troops there in 1965 to head off what was perceived then to be the threat of a Communist takeover.

Bunker finally found an effective formula satisfactory both to the left-wing rebels and to the conservative Dominican military Restored to constitutional democracy, the island nation has been remarkably stable ever since. For his accomplishment, Bunker was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Bunker, whose first wife and the mother of his three children died in 1964, remarried in 1967, at age 72, to Carol C. Laise, 49, the U.S. ambassador to Nepal. It was the first time two U.S.

ambassadors on active duty had married. They were married in Nepal, and Bunker, serving at the time as ambassador-at-large, decided to make Katmandu his headquarters. But it was not to be. Scarcely two months after the wedding, Johnson named Bunker ambassador to South Vietnam, succeeding Henry Cabot Lodge. As an inducement, Johnson agreed to make an Air Force jet available so the newly-weds could visit each other.

The Saigon assignment, clearly the most trying of Bunker's long career, had been expected to be a brief one. But it lasted six years. One of Richard M. Nixon's early moves after his presidential victory in 1968 was to ask Bunker to remain in Saigon. Bunker arrived in South Vietnam in April 1967, when U.

S. involvement in the war was at its height. He departed on May 11, 1973, his 79th birthday, when Nixon's phased withdrawal of U.S. forces was almost completed. 3 SALE LEASE, service statwn, umos, repair bays, eocmt.

The boy was charged with offensive touching, and committed to the Stevenson Detention Center, near Police fire Milford, in lack of $1,000 bail. After his arrest, the boy's mother, Mary White, 34, of Kent-wood Mobile Estates, became involved in an argument with Christie, police said. According to police. White threatened Christie, and police were called again. White was charged with harrass-ment, plead guilty in Magistrate Court 7 in Dover, and was released after paying a $25 fine, plus court costs.

Fire damages house DOVER Nolan Perry, 63, awoke from an afternoon nap Friday to find his one-story home at 532 Buckson Drive filled with smoke and flames.

Perry's wife and a grandson who lives with them were not home when fire broke out. The blaze, of undetermined origin, is under investigation by the city fire marshal's office.
