(U.R) Margaret Truman and Clifton Daniel rehearse their wedding ceremony today in the tiny Epis copal church where they will be married Saturday. The daughter of former Presi dent Truman and her New York newspaperman fiance planned for the rehearsal late this after noon to take place behind closed doors in the church where Miss Truman's parents were married 37 years ago. Both Miss Truman and Mr. Daniel have stayed within the privacy of the Truman home since his arrival by air from New York Thursday. Was Overnight Guest Mr. Daniel was an overnight guest in the Truman home. Earlier he met many of Miss Tru man's relatives at an "informal family dinner" of fried chicken and frozen lemon pie. No news men or outsiders were admitted to the Truman home during the pre-wedding festivities. They have said several times they want only a "small, quiet wedding." The best man, Ted Marks, said he believed Margaret's wed ding would follow almost the same quiet pattern as the one which joined Mr. and Mrs. Tru man on June 28, 1919. He de scribed that ceremony as a "very quiet, simple affair where not a lot of fuss was made." The single-ring service to be performed at 5 p.m. (EST) Sat urday, will follow the Episcopal Common Book of Prayer, which even prescribes the ways the hands are to be joined. Just for the. Women Mr. Truman, who has talked several times with newsmen, has always refused to discuss his daughter's wedding . with the statement, "That's for the wom en folks." He was seen entering the back door of tys home with two large boxes Thursday night, but would say only "they the presents aren't for me." Stack after stack of boxes have been brought to the pic turesque old .white home on Delaware street. One, it was learned, contained a plain silver fruit bowl from Battery D of the 129th Field Artillery Battalion, Mr.. Truman's outfit in World War I.
