ENROUTE WITH THE EX-PRESIDENTIAL PARTY, June 12 -- True to the tradition of past Commencement speakers, former president Harry S Truman, through his Independence, Mo. office, yesterday denied that he would receive an honorary degree from Harvard this week.

Meanwhile, Truman's private seven-car train, the "Hellbound" continued steaming eastward, passing through Illinois and Ohio today.
