Seasons First Pops
 Concert Huge Success
Audience Enjoys Informal Atmosphere, Catches ldyc
 Mood of Selections Chopins Polonaise High Spot

A spirit of romantic lyricism pre- va'led last nigni at the initial Pops concert of the season performed by the Waterbury Civic Orchestra un- der the baton Of Mario DiCecco at Hamil, on Park pavilion. As one caught up the informal and congo nial mood of the evening, the music seemed to possess soothing, pana- cean quality which was notlceably felt by the relaxed patrons who sat slipping their soft drinks and gazing rather pensively into a huge back drop on the stage depicting a Yose- mite Valley scene of purple-hued mountains. During the orchestras s presentation of Weber's Overture to Oberon," and the two Intermezzl Jewels of the Madonna, as well as the andante from Tchaikowski'S Fifth Sympathy, Lizst' "Liebes- stratum and "Finlandia" by Sibe- lius, it almost appeared that the soft elegance of the music f1oated out from the mountain scene.
 In keeping with the quality of warmth and smoothness were Boc- cherini's "Minuet'' and Coward's "ziguener," an encore. The mood was altered, however. when the or chestra broke into martial tempo with the playing of Sousa's Stars and Stripes Forever" American Patrol" by Mecham, an encore, and Entry of the Bojars" by Halvor- sen, a request from a group of five music lovers in the garden just out side the pavilion who remembered the maestro's interpretation of the spirited march as one of his most

With the 24th Infantry Division no Mindanao-The crack artillery battalion of Cpl. John B. Greco, 6 Fleet street, Waterbury, Conn, knocked out deeply emplaced Jap anese gun with three well placd shots during on bitter duel in the fighting around Davao.
 Greco'S battalion, the 11th Field Artillery, was in support of infantry troops smashing their way across the island of Mindanao. The guns of the section were emplaced in such manner as to be able to at- tack the enemy at moments mo- tice. At six-thirty the men dug in for the night.
 High up in the hills, 210O yards from them, the Japs had infiltrated through infantry lines to a cave overlooking Greco's guns. At six forty five the Nips started throwing 20 millimeter shells at close range in an effort to knock then. out.

The first shell landed five yards to the left of the wave, the second five yards to the right. The third shell landed directly in the mouth of the cave. Result, no cave, no Japs, no snore enemy firing.

Tribute to Roosevelt
DIPLOMATIC Set to Observe
Period Of official Mourning
BY Katharine NJ. Brooks

Diplomats accredited to this Cap
ital will observe the period of
mourning declared by President
Harry S. Truman in tribute to
the late President Franklin Delano
Roosevelt. There were many parties
planned for these bright spring days,
many Of them to honor delegates to
the conference in San Francisco
who will stop here en- route to the
West Coast. Although these dates
had not been set. the parties will be
abandoned until after the confer-
ence when delegates will spend a
few days in this Capital before going
back to their homelands.
Twenty-odd years ago the times
were different, but at present and at
the time of the death of President
Warrn G. Harding-August, 1928
the majority of the diplomats were
away. Many had gone to their
homes for the summer and those
who remained in this country had
cottages at summer resorts on the
coast and in the mountains. There
were no parties, for those were the
days when the Capital was deserted
through the hot weather. Now few
diplomats can leave their posts ex-
cept on Official business and fewer
still can return to their homeland
for business or pleasure.
Official entertainments honoring
His Royal Highness Prince Abdul
Illah, Regent of Iraq. have been
cancelled and the distinguished
visitor will not come to Washington

late President Roosevelt to be the

of Iraq and Nine. Jawdat had plan
