GUERNICA, Spain, May l3.-Gen
Francisco Frances northern insurgent
army rolled government lines nearer
the Basque capital of Bilbao today in
a general engagement along a l5-mile
battle front, which reached at some
points within five miles OF the be-
leaguered city.
From the north and the east. the
insurgent troops pressed their drive
to crush the defenses of the city
where refugees have swelled the popu-
lation to over 100000.
Insurgent flyers rained bombs on
the town Of Munguia, miles north
OF Bilbao. Government reports said
the air raids threatened to convert
Munguia into a second Guernica,"
the Basque holy city left in ruins
after plane attacks two weeks ago that
killed an estimated 800 persons.
Insurgent planes prepared the way
for the attack, bombing and straflng
with machine gun fire the Basque en-
trenchments on the slopes of the
green hills.
Infantry Captures Heights.
The heights north and just east of
Manguia. fell into insurgent hands
shortly after the attack opened, as
wave after wave Of infantry swept the
Basque defenders before them.
Artillery and planes found the range
OF the retreating government troops
and harassed them into the city OF
Munguia itself. which WAS placed
under steady bombardment.
To the south. midway on the front,
Basque artillery shelled the crest Of
Mount Biscargi in q futile effort to
recapture the mountain from which
they were driven with losses Of $500
men in one of the most gruesome
battles Of the offensive.
