Elvis Presley, the pale, shy teenager who gave up truck driving and became the king of rock 'n' would have turned 50 years old on Tuesday and his fans have planned several events to mark the occasion The only child of Vernon and Gladys Presley a twin brother died at birth Jan. 8, 1935 learned to play a $2.98 guitar his daddy bought when he was a boy Although he died Aug. 16, 1977, at age 42, fans still flock to Presley's mansion, Graceland, now open to the public for tours. Tuesday the mayors of Memphis and Shelby County will stand on Graceland's steps to read proclamations declaring Jan. 8 "Elvis Presley Day" in Tennessee.

An autopsy performed on the entertainer has never been released although thereJwere allegations he died of a drug overdose. The medical examiner who performed the autopsy contended Presley died of heart failure. His personal physician had said Presley did use drugs. It was 1953 when Presley walked into a record studio to cut a song as a birthday gift for his mother. Sun Records president Sam Phillips heard it and asked the youngster for his name and telephone number.

A year and a half passed before Phillips called Presley back to the studio to record That's All Right Mama and Blue Moon of Kentucky. He carried the record to his brother, Dewey Phillips, who played it on his Red Hot 'N Blue radio show on WHBQ. Fourteen telegrams and 47 telephone calls prompted the disc jockey to play the release seven times that night. Presley, who was so shy he hid in a movie house when he first learned his record would be aired, sold 7,000 copies of the single the next week. Aside from the proclamations, there will be little fanfare at Graceland Tuesday to mark Presley's 50th birthday, although the estate planned a Saturday night party for fans to watch rare video footage of Presley, and listen to guest speakers in a former museum across from Graceland.

The menu included one of Presley's favorite foods, peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Among the scheduled speakers was Horace Logan, who produced the Shreveport, radio show Louisiana Hayride where Presley appeared 800 times in 1954 and 1955; Presley's backup the Jordanaires; and two members of the so-called "Memphis Mafia," Joe Esposito and Jerry Schilling, both of whom worked on Presley's concert tours. Proceeds from the event will go to Youth Service USA, a charity Presley supported. An EMs art display by Betty Harper and a birthday cake decorating' contest runs through Tuesday in the shopping center across the street from Graceland. Other events include: A fan convention through Tuesday at Howard Johnson's Motor Lodge on 'Elvis Presley featuring a display by RCA Records, which is offering new collections of both previously released and new Presley music.
