Elvis Friend Gave $9000 Car Says Ex Sheriff
Former Memphis Sheriff William N. Martin Jr says Elvis Presley gave him a $9000 foreign car for Christmas and notes their long friendship. Morris, now a management consultant head, says his wife went to Humes High with Presley in 1953. He cites several other Presley friends receiving similar gift cars. Scotland Yard seeks a Scots Guardsman in the Janet Stevens Christmas murder near a gunnery range. The Red Riding Hood case drew intense headlines as detectives press the holiday weekend killings across England. Senator Eugene McCarthy, retiring after 12 years in the Senate, says reform can be advanced from outside Washington and plans to stay in D C to pursue political reforms and possibly run in 1972. He predicts Southeast Asia will stay a major issue in 1972 as Nixon winds down the war.
