Head-Purchasing State and Federal Aid Coordinator (U0.16) lie lourier-Post more cars than anyone else in Jersey sells South OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) Perle Mesta, who entertained thousands of the powerful and the would-be powerful at her gay and informal parties as Washington's "hostess with the mostest," died in a hospital here Sunday night while her brother held her hand. She was 85.

Mrs. Mesta. famed for bringing together political foes, movie stars and foreign heads of state, moved here 13 months ago to be near her brother, D.W. Skirvin. She left Washington secretly because she "wanted no tears" and no farewell fanfare.

Skirvin had been commuting regularly between Oklahoma City and Washington to visit his sister after she suffered a broken hip in a fall two years ago. She never fully recovered from the injury. In an interview last year, Mrs. Mesta discussed her role as reigning Washington hostess for nearly 30 years. "My parties play a political role, definitely.

If I'm interested in a bill, like the Equal Rights Amendment, I'll try to get people who are for it and against it at the party," she said. She once said that a successful party is the combination qf cool guests, hot food, cool music and a warm hostess. It is said that many political compromises were worked out at Mrs. Mesta's parties, which were known for relaxation and a bit of gay abandon rather than laborious philosophical discussions. Through the years, her quests were treated to piano recitals by Harry S.

Truman, a Comanche war whoop from diplomat Patrick Hurley, a rendition of "Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes" by Dwight Eisenhower, a whistling performance by Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt and Sen. Tom Connally's versionof "My Old Kentucky Home." Born in Sturgis, on Oct. 12, 1889, Mrs. Mesta moved to Oklahoma City after her father struck it rich in Oklahoma and Texas oilfields.

Her father, who built one of the city's most luxurious hotels, the Skirvin, left his fortune to her. She went to Washington in 1907, an accomplished pianist and singer with aspirations toward a career in opera. In 1916, however, she gave up her career plans to marry George Mesta. founder of Mesta Machine Co. of Pittsburgh.

She inherited Mesta's fortune when he died in 1925. Her name was later linked with numerous suitors, but she never remarried. She was active in political campaigns, first as a Republican but later switching her registration to the Democratic party. She considered herself a liberal. A feminist and supporter of the women's liberation movement, she presided at the opening of the Woman's Party Headquarters in Geneva in 1939 Her fund-raising activities for President Truman were rewarded with an appointment as minister to Luxembourg in 1949.

She stayed for four years, gaining a reputation for providing "open house" to American GIs. "I entertained 25,000 of them, all at my own expense," she once recalled. "Those parties, they were the highlightof anything I've done." Fire Destroys 52 Boardwalk Rolling Chairs ATLANTIC CITY Fifty-two Boardwalk rolling chairs were destroyed in a warehouse fire last night which also damaged an adjoining building which houses the county board of elections.

WILLINGBORO A 3-year-old township girl died Saturday when her hat became snared on a swing set and strangled her.

Linda Harris, of 28 Pens-dale Lane, had been sliding down a neighbor's sliding board, which was attached to the swing set, when the chin strap on her hat became entangled on a loose bolt, Dr. Joseph M. DeLorenzo, Burlington County medical examiner said. "When the chin strap caught on the bolt she fell off the side of the sliding board and hung there," DeLorenzo said. The girl was taken to Teacher Hanged WILLINGBORO -A town-ship school teacher was found hanged to death in the garage of his home Saturday Timothy Shannon, 24, of 52 Montclair Lane, a teacher and coach at Memorial Junior High School, was discovered hanging from a rafter by his wife about 5 p.m., Dr.

This makes up about four-fifths of the book, and the differences the latter fifth. Work on the project began in 1969. A German edition was issued two years ago and now has been rendered into English. It deals with the main themes of Christianity, including human existence, the question of God atheism, the relationship of faith and life, Scripture, Jesus, salvation, prayer, conscience and the ultimate future, as well Mesta Rancocas Valley Hospital where efforts to revive her failed.

Ford Observes St. Patrick's Day Doctors Call Strike At 16 Hospitals NEW YORK (AP) A common Roman Catholic-Protestant catechism will be issued in this country at the end of the month, marking the first jointly produced presentation of Christian be-lief since the churches separated 4' centuries ago. Called "The Common Catechism: A Book of Christian Faith," it is being published at Easter, by Sea-bury Press. The volume already has been made the selection of three book clubs.

The work represents a new advance in the ecumenical movement in which the accords discovered in mutual scholarly dialogue are being laid out, in comprehensive fashion, for lay people generally. The 720-page summation of faith, intended mainly for adults, was produced over a period of five years by an international team of 40 church scholars, 20 Protestants and 20 Roman Catholics. It carries no official authorization, however. It represents "a strong step forward in the development of the ecumenical spirit," said the Rev. Dr.

John B. Coburn of New York, president of the Episcopal Church's lay-clergy House of Deputies. It is "an historical event in its own right," said the Rev. John B. Breslin, literary editor of the Jesuit national weekly, America.

"The Common Catechism represents a totally new development the first successful attempt of Protestant and Catholic theologians since the 16th century to fashion a joint statement of belief for adult Christians of every church and denomination." An introduction says that the "various branches of the Christian church are no longer mainly interested in what divides them, but instead in how they are to understand, present and live the Christian faith in the world of today."
