 510 Allies Rescued From Jap Prison
DARING RAID
 MADE BEHIND
 ENEMY LINES

General MacArthur's Head quarters, Luzon, February 1. - (UP)-American Rangers and Filipino Guerrillas res cued 510 Allied war prisoners, among them veterans of bloody Bataan and Corregi- dor, in a daring raid last night on a Luzon prison camp 25 miles behind the enemy lines, General Doug las MacArthur announced today.
 The first mass rescue of prisoners in the Pacific war was disclosed as American Sixth Army Armored col umns broke across the Pam- panga river, last defense bar rier before Manila, and swept on within 20 miles of the Philippines capital.
 The weakness of enemy opposi- ton to tbe frontal advance indi- catcd that Macarthur would be back in headquarters city of Manila within days, rather than weeks or months as first thought.
 A picked squad of 12l members of the Sixth Ranger battalion and 286 guerreillaS carried out the raid on the Japanese prison camp at Cabanatuan, in Nueva Ecija prov incc 60 miles north of Manila and 25 miles east of Tarlac.
 Surprised Guards
 Striking shortly after dusk, the raiders completely surprised and annihilated" Japanese guards, lib- erated the ragged, weary prisoners, then fought q running battle with Japanese infantry and tanks as they withdrew, MacArthur said in g. press release.
 The CommandoS inflicted top heavy casualties of 523 Japanese killed and 12 tanks destroyed against losses of 2 men killed and three wounded. American planes support ed the raiders.
 The prisoners, mostly American officers and soldiers, but also in- cluding a "Sprinkling of British. Dutch and others were rescued with practically no harm" MacAr- thur said.
 He said the prisoners apparently had been Well-ted by the Japanese and were in fair condition.
 They are receiving every care and attention" he said, and their rehabilitation will be rapid no incident of the campaign has given me such personal satisfac- tion.'
 It. Col. Henry A. Mucci, who con- manded the raid has been award- ed the Distinguished Service Cross for the brilliantly successful" op- eration, MacArthur added.
 Even as the Commandos were liberating the veterans who went to defeat on Bataan and Corregidor thre years ago. American warship re-entered Subic bay, barely 90 miles from Manila bay and one-tlme base of the "eXpendable" PIT boat Squadrons that helped defend Ba-
