NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

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.

Miss Rose Conway, the former President's confidential secretary, told the Boston Globe, that Truman planned to spend his mornings this week with correspondence and papers. Meanwhile, Truman's private seven-car train, the "Hellbound" continued steaming eastward, passing through Illinois and Ohio today.

And sources high in the U.S. Post Office revealed today that all mail and correspondence scheduled for delivery this week to Truman was being re-routed from Missouri to the South Postal Annex in Boston.
