PRESIDENT IS JUST VISITING ON TRIP HOME

Truman: Has No * Formal Schedule at He Eats 3 Christmas Dinners.

By CHARLES B. DEGGES United Press Stat Correspondent

INDEPENDENCE, Mo. Dec. 26.—President 1'ruman will eat the second of his nowfamed “three Christmas dinners” today after visiting with old friends at his Kansas City office, 20 miles from here. So far as Independence is con. cerned, Mr. Truman is strictly “une bothered” as he moves about among his homefolks and fellow townsmen without any formal schedule. The President's home town is determined that he shall enjoy his Christmas vacation the way he wants it. y Mayor Roger T. Sermon, one of Mr. Truman's oldest and closest friends, said that “absolutely no plans” had been made for his en-

tertainment. “We know that he's here to be

with his family and we just aren't} ®

going to bother him with ‘plans’ and ‘programs’,” Mr.. Sermon said.
