INDEPENDENCE, Mo. Harry S. Truman's daughter Margaret, as happy a young woman as ever lost her heart to a man, gets married today. The blonde-haired girl who grew to young womanhood in the White House and Clifton Daniel the handsome foreign correspondent who wooed and won her in a whirlwind romance, exchange vows in little Trinity Episcopal Church. After a brief reception in the big, white-framed Truman home at 219 N.

Delaware they will fly off to Nassau, the Bahamas, for a honeymoon of two weeks. And her father, the former President, can relax from the ordeal that every father of a bride can understand.

Daniel, 43, assistant to the foreign editor of the New York Times, and the 32-year-old radio- TV actress-singer pursued their arm-in-arm course about Independence while Tinman's neighbors looked on approvingly but with a minimum of hubbub.

Patric Hutton. The bride will wear an ankle-length br.ige gown made of centuries-old Venetian lace. The gown was designed by Nicol Fontana of Rome, who will be one of the wedding guests.

Margaret and Clifton on their own have made as a concert singer and radio-TV star and he as a war correspondent in World War 11 and then as foreign correspondent in London, Germany and Russia. Margaret, when her father was president, mot many of the world's most interesting men.

Clifton, as a foreign correspondent, was a at a dinner party. In fact, they met' at a dinner party in New York last November at the home of George Backer, former president and editor of the New York Post. Backer will be one of the ushers. Daniel has never been Margaret confided in her biography, now in its third and concluding installment in Good Housekeeping, that she had never really been in love.
