Claims Elvis Telling Hound Dog Lie

PRESLEY VICTORY IS LIE

MEMPHIS, Term. (IR>—Elvis

in his fight with two service sta-
tion attendants, but one of his op-
ponents said the rock 'n roll singer
was just telling another of "his
'houn Dog* lies."

Break In Foods
WASHINGTON Science is
coming up with another big break
for American housewives: food
that will keep for weeks without
spoiling.
Fx pert* reported today they now
have evidence that poultry, fish,
ham. beef, sausage, lobster and
many other p' rishable foods can
be kept fresh for long periods with
antibiotic*. The drugs kiil bacteria
which cause most food spoilage.
The scientists said use of the
diugs will mean far less waste
—one out of every four pounds of
food now goes into the garbage
can. It also may mean fewei
stomach upsets and a significant
increase in the world's food sup-
plies.
The optimistic reports were
made at the final session of the
Food and Drug Administration's
fourth annual symposium on anti-
biotics. Several hundred experts
from the United States and nine
other countries have taken part.
Clinic Elevator
Crushes Woman
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (T.Rt—A hos-
pital elevator started unexpected
ly Thursday and ciushed a young
woman to death before horrified
passenger*.
Mary Ann I/<>gan, 24. a medical
student, was boarding the eleva
tor when it suddenly started up,
pinning her head between the cab
and portal.
Seven other passenger* and the
operator, Othelina Snow, were un
able to help a* the victim died al
most instantly of ntrangulation
and a ciushed neck.
21. were ordered to appear in city
•ourt today to answer assault and

brief scuffle.
Reports of exactly what hap-
pened at the filling station were
conflicting.
Knife Attack Charged
Presley, who at first refused
comment was "out in the back
yard feeding the mule" when re-
porters called, later held a news
conference and accused Hopper of
pulling a knife on him.
Hopper denied that he drew a
knife and charged that Presley-
slugged him while a policeman
held him with his arms pinned to
his side. Hopper supported a nifty
shiner as evidence.
A third story was furnished by
two patrolmen who were on the
scene—R. E. Ferguson and D. L.
Rogers. The patrolmen denied
holding anyone, and said that Hop-
per first hit Presley and that the
"Pelvis" responded by slugging
Hopper in the eye and Brown on
the cheek as he rushed to Hop-
per's aid.
Checking (ia* Fume*
The incident started Thursday*
night when Presley, who has re-
corded such rock 'n roll hits as
"Hound* Dog", "Heartbreak Ho-
tel" and "Don't Be Cruel" pulled
his white Lincoln into a downtown
service station to find out if gas
fumes were leaking into the car
thiouirh the air conditioner.
Hopper said he tried to find the
trouble with Presley's car with-
>ut success and twice asked the
linger to move so that other ears
•ould get to the pumps.
Hopper said on the third trip,
"Presley told me. 'I'll move when
I'm ready." That kind of made me
mad. I slapped at him, kind of
brushing his face, anyway I hit
him."

Ike More Popular Than His Party
With Opposite True For Stevenson

By IALE C. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON llUn — There's
no place in this presidential cam
paign for the natty, hip length jac-
ket which General Dwight D. Ei-
senhower popularized in World
War II.
Many Republican candidates for
congressional and state offices will
require a victory lift this year on
Mr. Eisenhower's coattails, of
which a jacket has none. The ex
perts see it like this:
Mr. Eisenhower is more popular
than the Republican Party and a
better vote-getter thin the Re-
publican Party and a better vote
getter than many local candidates.
His name at the head of the tick
et may persuade some millions of
strategically placed independents
and DenwxTats to vote Republican,
thereby adding to the tally of lo-
