irst Family and Relatives
bserve Christmas at Texas Home
JOHNSON CITV, Tex. (UPI)
President Johnson and a host
of relatives today celebrated
Christmas ranch-style around a
big home-cut tree.
The President returned home
Tuesday for the first time since
taking office. It had been an
arduous day tinged with sad
ness, lie had attended the fu
neral of Rep. William J. Green
Jr., D-Pa., in Philadelphia and
visited wounded Texas Gov.
John Connally at Austin.
"I've only been here an
hour," he said, "and I (eel bel
ter already."
There was the possibility of
, a Christmas day deer hunt, but
leisurely visits with friends and
relatives came first.
A colorful Christmas tree
banked wilh gifts was set up In
the Chief Executive's office off
the living room of his ranch
home near here. LB.I ranch
hands cut the five-foot cedar
tree on Johnson's land,
favorite Uncle Attends
A large family dinner was
planned during the afternoon
with roast turkey as the chief
attraction. The assembled rela
tives Included one of Johnson's
favorites, his 80-year-old uncle,
Huffman Baines, a retired tele
phone company engineer. .
The President hoped to with
stand the temptation of too
many high calorie Christmas
treats. He now weighs 2(14
pounds which he regards as just
about right for a man of his
large frame of six feel, three
inches.
He has been swimming twice
a day at the While House in
the morning and evening hut
he came to Texas Tuesday not
particularly fatigued, hill feel
ing the need for more exercise,
more getting out-of-doors and
tramping over the countryside.
Being on home soil had a
quick and beneficial effect. The
President went deer hunting on
the ranch of an old friend, A.W.
Moursund, not long after arriv
ing in Texas Tuesday afternoon.
Deer Cross Range
Johnson bagged no deer al
though he saw them by the doz
en loping across the broad
ranges of the Moursund ranch.
Johnson, his wife Lady Bird
and their younger daughter,
Lucy, IB, arrived in midaftor
noon at Bcrgslrnm Air For.'e
Base outside Austin. With them
were a number of Texas con
gressmen bound for their
homes.
The President arranged cars
for the entire parly and instead
of leaving for the LB.I ranch by
helicopter, the group motored
to the state's executive mansion
for the visit wilh Connally. The
governor still is recovering
from the serious gun wound he
received Nov. 22 while riding
with President Kennedy when
he was assassinated in Dallas.

Light snow drifting lazily
across the Great Lakes and
north Atlantic states provided
fresh topping for the white
Christmas which prevailed in
much of the nation, but rising
temperatures made the sledding
difficult in Dixie and the Mid
west. A 90-minute flurry Christmas
Eve added to New York's 6-inch
snow blanket and 1,700 men
continued their toil to clear
away the drifts in the nation's
largest city.
Roads reopened in west Ten
nessee, where the century's
heaviest snowfall was followed
by one of the century's coldest
temperatures Christmas Eve.
The mercury was expected to
climb to 40 today.
However, the Mississippi Riv
er remained ice clogged, slow
ing barge traffic. Five weather
deaths were reported in the
area.
Des Moines, Iowa, authorities
ordered skating rinks closed be
cause of the warmth.
Indiana got its first above
normal temperatures this
month.
The coldest area of the na
tion was the intermountain area
of Utah and Idaho. The temper
ature dipped to 5 below zero at
Idaho Falls and Malad City,
Idaho, today and to 8 degrees
above zero at Salt Lake City.
The temperature leaped as
much as 30 degrees in the Mid
west, which has been locked in
a frigid icebox most of the past
two weeks. The mercury rose in
Texas from the freezing marks
of the past two nights to near
the 50 mark.
However, cold air filtered
down the peninsula of Florida
and brought freezing tempera
tures and frost to the northern
and central portions of the
state.

wife and two of his three children 14 years ago:
