(UPI) Elvis Presley, resting at home after hospitalization for an enlarged colon and fatigue, felt good enough Monday to go riding down Elvis Presley Boulevard with his girl friend on twin "funmobiles." Presley, who usually shies away from interviews, encountered a photographer as he rode through his Graceland Mansion gates on a newly purchased, three-wheeled funmobile. The 40-year-old entertainer had six words for public consumption. "How are you feeling now, Elvis?" the photographer asked while snapping pictures. "I'm feeling fine," he said.

"You're looking real good," the photographer replied. "Thanks," said Elvis, nodding. "I guess you're glad to back in Memphis awhile," the photographer said. "Sure am," Presley said. Presley then roared off down Elvis Presley Boulevard on his new toy.

Girlfriend Linda Thompson followed on a second funmobile, trailed by a cousin on a third. Presley bought the vehicles in Memphis before traveling to Las Vegas for a two-week engagement. After three performances at the Las Vegas Hilton, he canceled the show and flew home Aug. 21 to enter Baptist Hospital. The singer's latest hospitalization ended Sept.

5, but Dr. George Nichopoulos said his patient must take it easy for at least three months. Presley's uncle and gate guard, Vester Presley, said Elvis needs to have some fun and ignore the nurses at Graceland "who don't want him to get outside and get tired out." fWL-'mi Gannett News Service Va. "A commanding officer uses everything he can to maintain morale," said Cdr. Connelly D.

Stevenson, skipper of the Finback. Stevenson has been reprimanded and relived of his command for letting a go-go dancer perform topless on his submarine. "No one has ever written a definitive book on leadership," said Stevenson in an interview at his home in Portsmouth, Va. "Morale and the ability to maintain it are significant facets of leadership," he continued. "Two ways to do that are to set high standards and make the men proud of what they're doing." It was the officers and men of the Finback who persuaded Stevenson, his friends have said, to allow a go-go dancer named Cat Futch to dance topless as the ship sailed proudly past the missile submarine Alexander Hamilton in Port Canaveral, Fla.

The submarines are traditionaly rivals in the submarine service. Stevenson's Navy superiors in Norfolk decided that Futch's topless dance went beyond morale building they have sent him a letter of reprimand for allowing her to perform on July 10. The Navy was started additional punitive proceedings against Stevenson. "I can't believe it's making so much news," said Stevenson. "I've been offered dozens of sympathetic platforms in the press, but I'm a Navy officer and feel obliged to follow procedure.

"I'm against the press doing battle for other people's causes," he continued. "It's like the debate in the Episcopal Church about women. I'm an Episcopalian and would have preferred that that controversy stayed within the church." fc "a AP photo Autograph seeker confronts hooded Elvis Presley outside his Memphis mansion PEOPLE IN THE NEWS CURTAIN WtELD i' 4 Westchester Rockland's Largest Curtain Drapery Stores!

Jack Kemp, a conservative Republican from Buffalo, N.Y., sparred verbally with 13 touring Soviet journalists. They talked for more than an hour about capitalism, the Middle East, nuclear arms limitation, Soviet emigration and football. Kemp, who was a professional football quarterback with San Diego and Buffalo before his election to Congress in 1970, took the group onto the floor of the House chamber while the House was in recess Monday. They chatted about international relations and House procedures. The 39-year-old Kemp led the visitors through the maze of corridors under the Capitol Hill complex and posed for pictures on the Capitol steps, where dozens of congressmen pose daily with their constituents.

The Soviets are starling an 18-day tour of the United States. Their stops will include Chicago, Madison, San Francisco, Las Vegas Kemp advised them "not to gamble too many rubles at blackjack" Austin, and New York. They are running into a wide spectrum of U.S. political thinking on the trip, from Kemp, who unabashedly pronounced his distaste for government interference and his loyalty to free enterprise, to Mayor Paul Soglin of Madison, a radical who recently returned from a visit with Cuban Premier Fidel Castro. Kemp told the group about his football background and his 4Va years in Congress and drew a laugh when he said: "Since I left the team, the team has gone up and the American economy has gone down."

The journalists, too, brought up the subject, asking the congressman if he supported a trade bill amendment designed to force Russia to ease its emigration policies. And when Kemp referred to "human rights" and said the Soviet Union should "relax the rigidity or some of the handcuffs on the movement of people," one journalist asked him about "the rights of the Vietnamese people during the war He asked one journalist if anything has being done about the problems of youth in the Soviet Union. The reporter, glancing at a magazine story about Kemp, replied with a quotation the congressman once had used: "Problems? They are not problems. They are opportunities." Kemp replied: "That sounds like Lenin speaking." The journalist shot back: "That's not Inin. That's Kemp." 1 1 NANUET ROUTE 59 ROCKLAND PLAZA SHOPPING CENTER SCARSDALE 3 65 N.
