THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON September 27, 1949 MEMORANDUM FOR: THE PRESIDENT Stanley Woodward phoned to suggest that Grover Whalen may bring up the question of a. luncheon for Prime Minister Nehru in New York when the Indian representative visits the Mayor. The Mayor indicated the luncheon will be optional. He would, of course, re- ceive Nehru at City Hall. Stanley has now learned that the Indians have accepted a luncheon invitation from Henry Luce. He suggests that if Whalen brings the matter up that any change in the Indians plans should be arranged with them directly and that the President should not intervene. It was also suggested that Whalen not be given any definite commitment with respect to the visit of the President to New York for the laying of the cornerstone of the United Nations Building.
