Elvis Near Hysteria
At Mother’s Burial
MEMPHIS, Tenn., (51 — Elvis
Presley remained at his $100,000
mansion Saturday, recovering
from the grief that seized him
at the burial of his mother.
The famed rock ’n’ roll singer
was near hysteria at the funeral
Friday. He and his father, Ver
non Presley, 43, wept throughout
the services.
The grief-stricken entertainer,
drafted into the Army last March
nearly collapsed at the graveside.
“Goodbye, darling,” he cried,
“goodbye, goodbye . . . we loved
you.”
Elvis, 23, had to be helped to
the big black limousine that
carried him from the cemetery,
his father strode ahead, eyes
streaming. “She’s gone,” he said.
“She’s not coming back . . .”
About 500 persons accompanied
the Presleys to the grave. Many
wept. Others craned their necks
and chattered. Police held much
of the crowd back.
Elvis flew home Tuesday from
Ft. Hood, Tex., on an emergency
furlough. His 42-year-old mother
died Thursday of an unexpected
heart attack at the hospital where
she was under treatment for
hepatitis, a liver ailment.
Live to a good old age!

Comptroller General Says
Army Dependents Are
Getting Too Much Money
WASHINGTON. (A — Comp
troller General Joseph Campbell
fired off a critical blast at the
Army Saturday for what he called
doling out too much money to
soldiers and their dependents.
He said there have been 24
million dollars in overpayments
the past two years.
In a report to the House Mili
tary Operations Subcommittee,
Campbell said more heed should
be paid to the government’s fi
nancial rules and regulations.
He put the blame on what he
called basic weaknesses in the
military pay and allowance sys
tem. He also recommended bet
ter training'for Army finance
personnel.
Chairman Chet Holifield (D
Calif) said his subcommittee in
vestigators would consider the
findings of Campbell’s watchdog
general accounting office.
The report noted a number of
Army efforts to cut down over
payments, but said they continue
to be a problem year after year.
