| Cordell Hull, whose admins
tration of American foreign pol
icy had won him the Nobel peace
prize, died unaware Of the sum
nit" conversations in Geneva
and renewed hopes of a tsave
new world.
He had been unable to COM
prehend anything told him for
several weeks, Navy Capt. Anton
Zikmund, chief of medicine at
the Navy Medical Center in
Bethesda, said last night.
DR.. Zikmund, who had been
attending Mr.. Hull during his
periods of disqualification for the
past several years, was with
the elderly statesman when he
died at 9 am. yesterday. Also
with him in his room in the hos
pital section of the center were
Avin Robert Etheridge, husband
Of his niece, and a Navy medical
corpsman.
Miss Blanche Van Duzen, the
night nurse privately employed
by the former Secretary Of State
for several years, had left at $3.50
pm. Mr.. Hull's condition then
was apparently no different than
1T had been for many days.
His heart gave out" said DR..
Zikmund. "It was enlarged and
had been pounding too hard for
too long.
No Signs Of Stroke
"He had persistent high blood
pressure and hardening of the
arteries. A neurosthenic exami-
nation indicated no signs that
he had had a stroke.

quently occurs in persons Of
advanced age"
Miss Will Harris, Mr.. Hulls
secretary who had been with
him for. Al years. said that al
though his speech had been
slowed his mind was clear until
the relapse that sent him back
to Bethesda in July, 1854.
That was after the death of
his wife who had so faithfully
attended him. She had gone to
visit a sister-in-law at Staunton,
Va, when she became i'll and
died on March 26. 1854.
Mr. Hull's niece, Mrs. Kath-
crime Etheridge of San Antonio,
Texas. came to the funeral and
stayed to take care Of him at
the Sheraton Park. She under
took the regimen Of the daily
ride.
Every morning at 10:45 Mr..
Hull would descend in the ele-
vator from his fourth floor
apartment. With the help of
a cane and a guiding hand at
his arm, he would get into his
car.
Route Never Changed
The route was always the
same: across the Memorial
bridge into Virginia and west
on the Arlington boulevard. If
the weather was rainy. he had
the chauffer turn back at the
first traffic circle. If the weather
was pleasant they would go on
to the second traffic circle.
After his return when the
weather was warm and fair, he
would alight at the main en-
trance of the hotel and walk
through it to the tennis courts.
He would sit there for a time
watching the play. Old acquain-
tances would stop by and have
a few words with him--John
Byrnes. brother of the late Rep
resentative Joseph w. Byrnes of
Tennessee who was Speaker of
the House in the early days of
the New Deal, and former Sem
ator Henry Fountain Ashurst Of
Arizona. Both live at the Sher-
atom Park.
Senator Ashurst recalled a day
about eight years ago when Mrs.
Hull beckoned him aside and told
him that on six occasions the
doctor had told her to be pre-
pared for the worst, that her
husband would not live for more
than two hours.

Ashurst said yesterday, about
