  Atlantic Highlands - Rev. Roy E. Williams, Jr., pastor of the Methodist church here will officate at graveside services this afternoon at 2:30 at Bayview cemetery, Leonardo, for Col. Alfred C. Oliver, Jr., 67, a native of the borough and a retired Army chaplain who survived the Bataan death march. Col. Oliver died Monday at Walter Reed hospital at Washington, D. C.
  A Methodist minister of the New Jersey conference before he was commissioned in the Army in 1917, Col. Oliver was senior chaplain of United States forces captured by the Japanese during their conquest of the Phillippines in 1942. Severely beaten several times during his three years a prisoner, he remained a captive until early in 1945. When captured, the colonel weighed 220 pounds. He lost 120 pounds during his imprisonment.
  The Phillippines post was to have been his last before his retirement. After liberation he wore a speical neck brace to support vertebrae crushed by the Japanese when he refused to contribute military information. Upon his retirement in 1945, he became a national patriotic instructor of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
  Col. Oliver and several of his fellow victims of enemy treatment appeared before the House commerce committee in Washington in 1946 to urge that Congress permit survivors of torture or their next of kin to file claims against the former enemy.
  The colonel's mother, Mrs. A. C. Oliver, who received word from he son several times during the war, died about two years ago at the Methodist HOme for the Aged at Ocean Grove. Former residents of Wahsington, D. C., Col. Oliver, his wife, Adele Lake Oliver and four children moved to Ocean City about six months ago.
  The funeral was held at Silver Springs, Md.
