Today, on 31 October in Elvis History

Vernon Presley had to pay the tax of $11 for the Mississippi Road and Bridge Privilege. The car, a ten year old Chevrolet, with a six-horsepower engine had a market value of $50. The license plate was 49129.

Backstage Elvis met Oscar Davis, who told him how impressed he was with Elvis' performance at the Eagle's Nest. Elvis also met the Jordanaires, who had a solo performance on the show as well. Elvis told them he hoped they would sing on his records someday.

Elvis had Natalie Wood flown in for a visit. During the evening Elvis and Nick Adams took her down to the Hotel Chisca to meet Dewey Philips.

Elvis was again in Palm Springs for the weekend and purchased ammunition, holsters and a grip for a Colt Cobra at Tiny's Gun Shop.
