Wife, Mother of Late Sgt. Donald w. MacNiven Present at Presentation
 Ceremonies; Youth Killed in Jap Camp

Maj. Stanley E. Lease presented the posthumous award of the Air Medal with one Oak Leaf Cluster for Sgt. Donald w. MacNiven to his ten-year-old daughter, Jean Hall, this morning at the Army Recruit ing Station.
 The awards were for "meritorious achievement while participating in historical missions from bases in the Marianas Islands against the home land of Japan"
 Accompanying the child at the presentation were her mother, Mrs. Florence E. MacNiven, 50 Over Street, and her grandmother, Mrs. Clarence w. MacNiven, Woodbury Road, Watertown.
 Prisoner Of War
 At the time of his death, Sergeant MacNiven was prisoner in Jap anese camp near Tokyo. During a flight over Kawaksaki on the island of Honshu, Japan, his plane caught fire and the entire crew parachuted to safety, but were taken prisoners. A graduate of Crosby High School, Sergeant MacNiven was employed by the U. s. Time Corporation prior to entering the service in March 1943 He was killed during an American bombing raid on April IA, 1914.
 The citation accompanying the Air Medal is:
 For meritorious achievement while participating in historical mis- sions from bases in the Marianas Islands against the homeland of Japan between March 1945 and 19 March 1945. During this period the cities of Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka and Kobe were struck with such force and determination that great areas were totally destroyed. Aircraft on each mission attacked these Japan csc cities at precedent shattering with devastating results. Each flight was made without regard to per- sonal safety in the face of ever pres ent danger from enemy fighters and heavy search light directed flax. These missions were flown over ex- cessively long ranges through wealth CT that was often adverse and nec- essitated instrument flying and in creased navigational problems. There was ever present the possibility of mechanical failure and failure due to enemy action, necessitating sub- sequent ditching many miles at sea in hostile waters. The rapid suc- cession in which each mission fol- lowed the other allowed minimum time for rest and mental strain, and the hazardous flying conditions, this individual displayed such courage and skill as to reflect great credit on himself and the Army Air Fore es."
 Second Citation
 The citation accompany the Oak Leaf Cluster is:
 For meritorious achievement while participating in aerial flights as combat crew members in success ful combat missions against the Japanese Empire from 25 February 1945 to April 1945. These missions were flown without fighter escort undre rapidly changing and often times adverse weather conditions. The flights were subjected to in- tense enemy anti-aircraft fire and fighter opposition. There were con- stantly present difficult navigation al problems, danger of engine fail- ure and consequent ditching many

Second Pops Concert M1pressiue Success
 Nan Merriman, Civic Orchestra Present Most Delightful Program in Months; Attendance Disappointing

The Civic Orchestra of Water bury and Miss Nan Merriman, mezzc soprano of concert, opera and ra- dio, had a hearty reception last night in the second Pops concert of the season at Hamilton Park Pavilion, The orchestral dish last night was definitely on the light side and the audience seemed migthily pleased with the stirring Stars and Stripes Forever" by Sousa which opened the program as well as the Romberg favorites which closed the three-part musical bill.
 Nan Merriman who appeared in this city last season was guest ar tist and with orchestral support sang two of the best liked aria for mezzo and contralto voice, the "Habanera" from Bizet'S opera Carmen" and My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice" from Saint-Saens' Sampson and Delilah." The lat ter immediately following the or chestral presentation of "Bacchan- ale" from act III of the same opera was effective at this point. Miss Merriman also sang with fine re- straint and a beautiful legato, Schubert's Ave Maria.
 Nan Merriman Tops in Pops
 In her three offerings the poised artist sang with distinction and style. Waterburians who heard her previously in a full length program were again happy to enjoy her brief contribution with excellent orches- tral support in last nights informal Pops" In addition Miss Merriman sang Victor Herbert'S "A Kiss in the Dark" from Orange Blossoms" 7" and If I Loved You from the cur rent successful "Carousel."
 The orchestra, conducted as usual with authority and discrimination by Mario DiCecco, eliminated the old masters in favor of nicely grouped assortment that included an orchestral arrangement of Rach mannoffs Prelude in c. Sharp Minor" Cugats Rain in Spain" which contrasted agreeably with the beautiful three-part The En- chanted Lake by TschaikoWSki, which followed the Sousa program entry. The Tschaikowski suite was nicely done by the orchestra in- cluding ta) Scene. tbl Dance of the Swan. and Co Hungarian Dance. The kette dYums handled by Dayton Palmer, and percussives by William Brown. added to the balance and gave character to the piece of the moment.
 Pop Goes The Weasel
 All. band sections distinguished themselves, and a lively violin pig zicato came near being the hit of the evening. This was a jazz in depreciation by Henderson, Jazz is Here" which was then given in different tempo legato style. The 'tpizzicato" was offered again at the end of the program when the audience seemed not too anxious to go home.
 If one were inclined to go in for selective selecting We would choose The Enchanted Lake" and the EVariations on Pop Goes the Wea- sel" by Cailliet as pieces de resis- tance; but then there was no over- looking the Saint-Saens 'Bacchan- ale" or Voices of Spring" by Stra1ss. or the Romberp selections

GueriIIos Ronae Luzon ForAIIies
 HukbaIahap Bands
 Recruit Peasants
 To Fight Peonage

Magalang, Pampanga Pr V n c e, Philippine Islands, July 12-CUP)- An estimated 10000 Hukbalahap guerillas were reported today to be ranging central Luzon attempting to recruit peasants in support of their fight against the Philippines peon- age system.
 Many Filipino peasants were streaming into towns such as Mag alang at nightfall each day where they are given protection by military police units which are carrying on operations against the guerillas.
 The Hukbalahap operations are carried out mostly at night under cover of darkness when small bands range the barrios, hunting for re- cruits and destroying property.
 a Killed In Fighting
 In fighting between Hukbalahap bands and military police since July ' there are known to have been 54 fatalities, including 51 Hukbalahaps, two military police and one civilian police.
 Government leaders were confer ring with Hukbalahap spokesmen in Manila in an effort to bring the guerilla war to an end.
 Luis Taruc, recognized spokesman for the Hukbalahaps, called for an impartial investigation of peasant grievances and suggested that U. s. Supreme Court Justice Frank Mur- phy-former Philippines governor general-be asked to serve as a me diator.
 Peasants Come In Dark
 The present negotiations came after 17-day truce in guerilla oper- ations which expired July 1.
 In this area peasants have been coming into town at nightfall fol protection since earl.1 April. Many of them walk as much as five miles from the more distant barrios.
 In the vicinity of Magalang there are estimated to be nine squadrons Of Hukbalahaps, numbering about 45O men. They are armed with 50 and 30 caliber machineguns, tommy guns, Garand rifles, Springfields Enfields and Japanese weapons.
 Stronghold On Mount
 The Hukbalahap stronghold in this area is believed to be in Mount Arayat, a huge extinct volcano which towers over the town.
 Six other identified Hukbalahar squadrons are known to be operating in the foothills of the zambales mountain range in western Tarlac province.
 Three military police companies are operating against the TarIac Hukbalahaps.
 Provincial officials agree that the Hukbalahaps are not strong enough to carry on ful-scale civil war. How ever, using guerilla tactics they am- bush MP patrols, kidnap peasants, gather in recruits and ravage many country plantations.
