Description

A six-tier birthday cake looks like a formidable object to former President Harry S. Truman as he does a bit of slicing at a party in observance of his 78th birthday. The lettering reads; "Seven decades and eight." Vice President Lyndon Johnson and Truman administration cabinet officers (not pictured) were among the guests attending the affair at the President Hotel in downtown Kansas City, Missouri. From: Houston Post.
