Hurst Passes Away A private memorial service (or membtrs of the unmediate family was held today for Mrs Olive Hurst. SO. oi Old Public bout Bed China' Hockessin. Del. Mrs.

Hurst, who died Tuesdav. Between now and next spring appears lo be Ihe period of decision, the period of breakthrough. There is the hope though that skill, tolerance and patience will win out for us. The danger of Ihe Berlin crisis is obvious to Ihe Slate Dept. chiefs and lo the entire globe- two nuclear powers in a hcadon struggle.

Going past Berlin the State Dept. realizes that if we place a strong position in Europe we must not forego our strength elsewhere. The speaker pointed out that Ihe Soviet strategy is total strategy, that the Red actions in one continent-spill over and involve others. That is why Ihe State Dept. believes sincerely that the li.S.

must not give ground in Berlin. Especially to the extent of losing what ihe free world has gained in Africa and Asia. After Berlin? What would come after Berlin if lhat situation is resolved by nego- The State Dept. is concerned and that a dramatic increase strength would not improve the U.S. bargaining possibilities with the Soviet.

The Disastrous Defeat State Depl. says lhat had been a patient in Ihe Maple Crest Convalescent Home, Elmhurst. since July 7. Mrs. Hurst, daughter of the late The Communist Chinese have enormous problems due to a food situation.

It is doubtful if China can raise enough feed to feed U- F-r a- self. The country needs land. Khrushchev has lost the ball game in East Germany. "It has been a disastrous defeat." one official said. "It is embarrassing to the Communists lhat 3.000.COO people have moved from East Germany to West Germany.

Khrushchev could not build up Easl Germany to abide by the Soviet philosophies. That's why he is maneuvering, threatening and blubbering." The United Stales does not want war over Berlin. feels that negotiation could settle the problem. There are elements for a peaceful adjustment present, despite the dangers of the crisis. America will avoid a direct collision if Mr.

Khrushchev wants to avoid one. And America knows that if it backtracks in Berlin there will be another trouble spot next year or the year 'after that where the Reds would again start pushing. -Meanwhile the United States has struck back with a firmness that has drawn praise from its allies. iS'iiNE PERSONS (Ccmiinucd Itom Past OHO smashed into the oncoming Weit- zcl car.

A -marathon effort to strike a compromise between opposing factions ended in chaos Wednesday night in the Senate. -More than a half dozen senators, representing coal mining counties, spent most of the day dickering with the State Mines Department, the Lawrence administration and stripping industry representatives. Their work helped prolong the ll-hour Senate session, the lowest of H6i. But it went unrewarded when other senators, objecting that they didn't know what the proposed compromise would do, succeeded in having the legislation put off until Monday. How much of the work can be salvaged between now and then is problematical.

However, the issue will be eased by the mailing of copies of all proposed amendments to Senate members for study over the weekend. Joint Group Seen Sen. Hugh McMenamin. D-Lackawanna. who took part in the anthracite phase of the conference, said afterward ihe issue probably will have to be resolved by a joint House-Senate committee.

Earlier in Ihe day prospects for a i seemed fairly bright. Following a meeting with Gov. Lawrence. Sen. William Lane.

Douglas Dillon and Cuban economic czar Ernesto Guevara traded bitter words early today after the United Stales and 19 of the 20 Latin American nations had approved the charter and summary to explain the program to the Latin Anieti- can public. Guevara, after abstaining on the vote, said the conference had established the "first link for real peaceful coexistence in America." He asserted the United Slates had voted for all parts of (he charier and that this was an admission "that there can exist regimes which are not committed to free enterprise." "Those governments which are against our system shall recognize the irreversibility of the Cuban revolution." Guevara declared. Accusing Guevara of "untruths and falsehoods to rive the implication -that the United States somehow recognizes the permanence of the present regime in said: "This we do not do and never will do because to do so would be to betray the thousands of patriotic Cubans who are still wailing and straggling for Ihe freedom of their co-in- try." The chief of the U.S. delegation said the United States- had extended the hand of friendship to the Cuban revolution but Prime Minister Fidel Castro spurned it. The alliance plan provides for financia! aid and self-help over the next 10 years lo improve the lot of Latin America's 200 million citizens and reduce the region's glaring gap between poverty and wealth.

Of the S20 billion in foreign aid that is promised Latin America, more than half will come from the United States. The United States is also pledged to take the lead in soliciting the balance from its allies, as well as investments from private sources.
