Truman Declines Attend Reception For Khrushchev

NEW YORK, (AP) Harry S. Truman said today he has declined an invitation to attend a reception for Soviet Premier Khrushchev.

Reason: He's got a date to dine with his daughter and son-in-law.

The former Democratic President told reporters of his decision as he strode briskly around Manhattan's east side on his morning constitutional. Truman came here Monday for a visit to his daughter, Margaret, and her husband, newspaperman Clifton Daniel.

Truman said former New York Gov. W. Averell Harriman had invited him to the Khrushchev reception at Harriman's town house.
