Trumun's U. N. Visit Stripped
OF All Fanfare and Politics

s President Truman probably set
record yesterday when he arrived in
New York without any oficial recog-
milton other than the customary
police turnout.
The White House had gone to
great pains to strip the Presidents
visit of any semblance Of politics,
and in consequence the usual mass
ing of city heads was missing.
When the Presidents plane
landed at La Guardia Field, he and
Mrs. Truman were greeted only by
a representative of the State De-
partment, Stanley Woodward, chief
of protocol, and Mrs. Woodward.
Mr.. Truman went directly to the
U. N. session and after his speech,
which closed the first session of the
General Assembly, he drove to the
Waldorf Astoria for the reception to
the Assembly delegates.
As the President left the New
York City building. where the u. n.
is meeting, he bumped into Foreign
Minister Molotov and other mem
bers of the Russian delegation, who
unwittingly had started to leave
through the exit reserved for the
President, and, in defiance Of all
protocol, ahead Of the President.
The Secret Service had straight
ened that one out by the time the
presidential party came along, and
Mr.. Truman and the Russian For
eign Minister shook hands. The lat
ter, through an Interpreter, offered
his congratulations on the Presi-
dents speech, which he said was
great"
Il thank you'll thank you most
heartily" Mr.. Truman responded.
The President returned to Wash
ington by train, arriving shortly
after midnight. Secretary of State
