(DPD Mrs. Gladys Presley, 42, mo ther of singer Elvis Presley, died of an apparent heart at tack today only a short while after reporting she felt "so much better." Presley, on a seven - day emergency, furlough granted when his mother's liver ail ment grew more serious earl ier this week, was reported almost overcome with grief. Mrs. Presley's husband, Vernon, was at her bedside in a local hospital when she died. Elvis, who was asleep at his SlflOOOn suhiirhan man- sion "Graceland," arrived af the hospital shortly after his mother's doctor had . pro nounced her dead. . The singer, now an Army private stationed at Ft. Hood, Tex., was deeply attached to his mother. Friends said that much of his devotion probab ly was a result of his twin brother's death at birth. The elder Presley said he was asleep on a cot in his wife s room when he was awakened about 3 a.m. by her suffering for breath." He called her doctor, but she was dead by the time he arrived. The body was taken to a e- cal funeral home. Arrange ments for services had not been announced. The doctor said he looked in on Mrs. Presley about 11:30 p.m. Wednesday and found her apparently improved and "feeling so much better." She was sleeping soundly after the physician left, her husband said. In achieving fame and wealth as an entertainer, El vis made good a promise made to his mother when the father was working' as a Mississippi sharecropper and later when Elvis was driving a truck When he - was inducted earlier this year, the singer first stated reaction was: ' hate to leave my mother." 2 2 doz. w . w . r v w r7 nx tnn n w? 6-oz. 9U bottle mC SVi-oz. pkgs. 2i-oz. pkgs. needed something extra spe cial in the way of pigeons to help out in their military in telligence work in Indonesia. Finally, after a methodical in-: vestigation of various breeds, . they selected Baghdad pigeons as the most suitable of the homing variety. It was a wise choice. The Baghdad pigeons; responded so satisfactorily to training in carrying military messages that the armed forces of other powers began to buy them, also. Widespread Us Consequently, by the time radio displaced pigeons' as message carriers, those of Baghdad were In such wide spread use that their release to civil life easily accounts for whatever birds one may una elsewhere around the world with the same superior qualities as the Baghdad breed. I mentiontd the vast quan tities of pigeons we used to have in North America, citing tne well authenticated case of a single flock of carrier pig eons seen In 1808 and number ing in excess of 2 billion birds. The Iraqi pigeon expert nodded. He knew of the now extinct carrier, and it was a outstanding example of how we had wasted our natural re. sources. In the Middle East, he was happy to Say, they managed things differently. : As evidence, he produced a photograph of an area near the Iranian border: A promi nent feature was a round tow er that looked like a fortifi cation but was a pigeon tow er, instead. It was used to imprison the birds, which were very well fed, until the tower became too crowded to hold more. At that point, 'a number of the older birds were removed and slaughtered for food. But the meat of the pigeons was only a by-product. The principal purpose of the tow er was as a means of gather ing pigeon guano which is found to be highly successful as a fertilizer for local crops.
