Description

Former President Harry S. Truman (right) chats with comedian Jack Benny (center) today after Benny's arrival at the Kansas City Municipal Airport. Benny arrived by plane -- not in the ancient Maxwell in which he's seated. As a gag, he took a brief ride in the car driven by Carthell McClain, left. Truman and Benny will make guest appearances with the Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra tomorrow night, Truman as a conductor and Benny as a violin soloist.
