Elvis was stopped for speeding on Riverside Drive in Memphis.

Later, between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm, he signed autographs at the newly opened Bob Neal record shop. (photos)

The Colonel informed his attorney that Bob Neal has no longer any business association with Elvis, and the recent unpleasantness with Hank Snow has been resolved.

This came as a big surprise to Hank Snow.
