He said he spent 30 minutes with the Congressman on Christmas Eve. Although Erwin complained of his injury and mentioned recent heart trouble, Caudle said, there was no indication that he was about to take his life.
 Erwin left three notes. One, ad- dressed to Caudle, was placed on the front door and warned of gas fumes within. It asked Caudle to arrange an inexpensive funeral and to advise his mother in Morganton that he died "of heart attack"
 Contents of the other two notes were not revealed. One was ad- dressed to Mrs. Erwin and the oth- CT to his brother, former superior court judge at Morganton.
 Both Erwin and his wife were of prominent North Carolina families. They were married In 1880 and had no children.
 Erwin was elected to Congress Nov. ', 1914. Son of the late at- torney Samuel James Erwin, ST., and Mrs. Laura Poe Erwin of Morgan ton, he had practiced law at Char lotte since 1925.
 Besides his wife, he was survived by his mother, three brothers and three sisters.

 "It all depends on just what the fS nily decides at the last minute" member of the Secret Service ex- plained.
 It had been announced before he left Washington that the President would eat three Christmas dinners yesterday: One with his own family. another with his mother, and a third with his aunt. His late arrival made that impossible, however, so he will have the remaining two of his dinners today and tomorrow.
 Delayed In Capital
 The President finally reached the Kansas City Municipal Airport at 4:54 D. m. (CST) after nearly six hour Christmas Day flight from the capitol. He left Washington in his big C-54 transport, the Sacred Cow, at 12:06 D. m. After rejecting White House advice that he travel by train because of the bad weather. He or- iginallys was to have taken off at 8::30 a. m.
 Secret Service spokesmen explain ed today that there never were any fears for the Presidents safe land ing at Kansas City. The only con- cern was the take off at Washing ton during the sleet storm that had closed down air traffic entirely at the Capital.
 While the Presidents plane flew through some sleet and rain," 1t was asserted by Secret Service men who made the flight that it was about the pleaSantest we ever had" MT. Truman spent most of his fly- ing time talking with fellow pas- sengers and he was completely un- perturbed by the clouds through which his ship flew most of the time, they added. The Sacred Cow travelled at an air-speed of 205 miles an hour most of the way but this was cut to 155 miles by a 50-mile headWind.
 Drops Off Snyders
 The big ship stopped briefly at St.. Louis to land Reconversion Director and Mrs. John W. Snyder and their daughter at 3:18 p. m. (CST). A scant 23 minutes later, the presi- dential party continued its flight to Kansas City.
 No sooner had the President landed at the end of his flight than it became apparent that he had no scheduled" It had been believed that he would go first to his own home here. But once in the motor car with Mrs. Truman and their Slaughter, Margaret, he told the driver to take him to his mothers Grandview home. He spent 20 min- utes with his elderly mother and then motored to Independence, for his family dinner.
 MT. Truman had scarcely entered his home when 75 members of the Independence Messiah Choir of the Latter Day Saints Church who sur vived the long wait in the cold ser- enaded him with Christmas Carols.
 The President walked out on the lawn bareheaded to thank the sing CTS for their greeting and returned indoors for his dinner.

The battle was sharp but brief, and the triumphant tankers moved into the city on the same day the attack was launched. In the proc- ess, thew captured 5000 prisoners. But they had to take the bitter along with the sweet of victory. They discovered that Allied bomb CTS, gunning for the famed Skoda munition works, had inadvertently bombed the beer factories as well.
 One ill-fated tank of the 18th never managed to get into the bat time at the home of Mize Peters. Treasury representative for western Missouri, where an informal recep- tion was held.
