Former President Harry S. Truman flashes a big smile as he steps from the voting booth today in the Memorial Building in Independence, Missouri. He had just cast his ballot on one of Jackson County's new voting machines (seen in background). This was the first time the machine had been used in a general election. However, a similar one was used in Missouri's August primary. Prohibited from taking his usual long morning walk, Harry S. Truman said that he was able to take advantage of the election today to make the two-block walk from his home. From: Houston Post.
