Panay Island
Enemy Resistance Crushed
In so Hours After
Invasion

MANILA, Thursday, March q.
-UD-The 10th Infantry Division
has captured Iloilo, capital of
Panay, with its valuable docks
and harbor intact and within 60
hours of the American landing
on the sixth ranking Philippines
island, Japanese resistance has
been crushed, Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur announced today.
The American Infantrymen who
broke into the streets Of Iloilo, a
city OF 10000, found 70 per cent
OF it destroyed by fire.
Clearing out scattered enemy
resistance pockets on the coastal
plain northwest of the capital,
the infantrymen and the guerril-
las who had come down from the
hills to join them captured Gaub,
Tabusan, near the vital Santa
Barbara airdrome, San Sebastian
and Pavia.
Macarthur revealed that before
the American landing the guer-
rillas under Col. Macario Peralta,
Jr., had practically cleared the
coastal and interior areas of
Panay. They had restricted Jap
anese troop movement to the
Iloilo area with the result that
now all organized resistance ex-
cept for isolated pockets had been
crushed.
Macarthur noted that though
the city had been burned, the
docks were intact and the harbor,
best in the snid-Philippines, was
clear.
On Luzon, the Sixth and 33rd
Divisions who had smashed the
Japanese Shimu line east of Ma
Mia scored major victory by
driving to commanding ridges and
hills and capturing an enormous
quantity Of weapons and supplies.
The japanese Wawa-Antipolo
line east of Manila had collapsed,
the 33rd Division had captured
ridges north of Panay and the
Sixth had driven within one mile
of commanding Mt Baytangan.
In their drive, the American
divisions captured 956 vehicles,
largely armored; IS field and anti
aircraft guns, ranging from 20 to
1855 nilliineters in calibre, IL NOR
tars, ranging up to $50 millime-
tiers, "a rocket launchers and large
