H. Kenaston Twitchell, a former executive director of Moral Re-Armament, an international religious movement founded in 1938, died of a heart attack Sunday in Princeton University Hospital in New Jersey. He was 85 years old and lived in Hightstown, N.J.
Mr. Twitchell was born in Brooklyn, graduated from Princeton and earned a master's degree from Oxford University.

He was the author of ''Regeneration in the Ruhr: The Unknown Story of a Decisive Answer to Communism in Postwar Europe,'' published by Princeton University Press.
