Truman Honored On Birthday With Peace Center Talk
Former president Truman, celebrated his birthday in Independence by dedicating a federal office building near the square where he began his political career. He joked he only helped move slow efforts along and received a miniature U S seal. A large luncheon centerpiece featured a cake bearing a plan for a Truman Center for the Advancement of Peace at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Johnson previously praised Truman’s role in recognizing Israel, and governors and dignitaries joined delegates from the Truman administration at the event. The annual party, organized by Henry J. Talge, drew 411 guests this year, with gifts for Mrs Truman and Margaret Glifton Daniel not presented due to no women being invited. Truman vows to attend as health permits, with Talge promising to continue hosting until 100.

Rusk described the commission idea as a long-gestating option and Humphrey signaled administration openness to new Asian policy avenues.
