Harry Truman Arrives
In New York to See
His New Grandson
NEW YORK, (jP>—Former Pres
ident Harry S. Truman, wearing
a smile as broad as the brim of
his white Panama hat, arrived
yesterday for his first visit with
his first grandson.
A brigade of perambulator
pushing mothers, shouting “Con
gratulations, Grandpa!” were on
hand to greet him and Mrs. Tru
man as they walked into Doctors
Hospital.
The Trumans waved happily
and, accompanied by their son
in-law Clifton Daniel, went to
see their daughter, Margaret, and
her day-old child.
Truman brought along a base
ball glove for the baby—and a
wish that he’ll “become a United
States senator but not President.”
