0RANNER' AND Buchanan MORTUARIES OUt-HATOKY age to begin a new career, when he arrived at the Washington bureau of the Times in 1957. From the mid-1950s to the mid-1970s he covered Washington with a skill and scholarship that made him a force in daily journalism. In addition to the White House, over the years Kenworthy covered the State Department, Congress and politics, and in the last years of his career he reported on the environment. He retired from the Times in 1977. Max Frankel, now executive editor of the Times, who was Washington bureau chief in the late 1960s and early 1970s, said Kenworthy was "simultaneously the most energetic and the most literate reporter in the Washington bureau, and there can be no more potent combination in journalism." Edwin Wentworth Kenworthy (he used his initials in his byline and went by the nickname Ned) was born in Attleboro, and received undergraduate and graduate degrees from Oberlin College in Ohio.

He taught English at the high school level for several years and at I.U. for several more. During World War II he worked for the Office of War Information, providing daily cables to overseas embassies about developments in the United States. After the war Kenworthy worked briefly as an editorial writer at the Baltimore Evening Sun and then served as an information officer in the U.S. Embassy in London and worked for Reporter magazine.

In 1949 and 1950 he was executive secretary on President Harry Truman's Committee for Equality of Treatment and Opportunity in the Armed Services. The committee's report led to the racial desegregation of the military; Kenworthy always said he was prouder of the work he did on this issue than of any other professional accomplishment. He also covered the 1968 insurgent presidential candidacy of Eugene McCarthy. Russell L. Kleiber GROVELAND, Ind.
