Rebel General Accused of Massacre Plan
HENDAYE, FRANCO-S P A NISH FRONTIER, May 19 — (UP) — Basques tonight accused Rebel Gen. Emilio Mola of planning to make a "cemetery" of 600-year-old Bilbao for Its 340,00 frightened refugees.
They rushed marine guns and artillery to weakening sections of their defense lines seven miles from the city to stem the advance of Moors, Carlists, Germans and Italians. President Jose Antonio Aguirre protested to the neutral non-intervention committee that Mola was preparing to destroy Bilbao.
Aided by rain which halted fighting, the Bnsques concentrated troop* to the southeast of the capital, one mile west of Amorebieta, which the rebels captured yesterday. Mola’s troops moved southward around Munguia, seven miles north of Bilbao.
Both lines were rapidly tightening about the Basque capital. In a dozen places the Loyalists were back In their triple-trench line with the rebels a few hundred yards away.
Mola abandoned plans to surround Bilbao, and apparently was massing men and guns along the highway southeast of the city for a final, smashing drive. Amorebieta virtually was a no-man's land After Mola's troops moved ln, they were subjected to such violent shelling that he withdrew to trenches east of the city.

Senator Asks Compromise On Court Bill
Concessions Reduce New Appointments,
Set Age Limit at 75
Copyright, I9i1, hy Vmttd Prtss.
WASHINGTON, May 19— (UP) — Senate majority leader Joe T. Robinson sought tonight to win senate support for a compromise supreme court reorganization proposal limiting new appointments to one a year and shifting the age limit upward to 75 years.
Robinson and other administration leaders, far from conceding defeat of the president’s request for up to six new' appointments, were confident of ultimate success on a compromise along the lines proposed to—and rejected by—the senate Judiciary committee yesterday.
That was the amendment offered by Sen. Mathew M. Logan, D„ Ky., which was voted down 10 to 8 Originally lt was proposed by Sen Carl A. Hatch, D., N. M„ but with the age limit at 70 instead of 74.
MOVE ANTICIPATED
One administration strategist Informed the United Press that this last-minute attempt to stave off an unfavorable report on the president’s bill had been expected by President Roosevelt’s leaders to win the vote of Hatch and one other member of the oommlttee.
Had the committee adopted Logan’s proferred modification it presumably eould have been reported favorably to the senate. Lacking approval ln committee, lt was offered to other senators as a solution of the bitter controversy that has rocked pongress since February 8.
Robinson conferred with numerous senators today. Many of them, however, did not talk of the court fight but congratulated the majority leader on the fact that his name ls prominently mentioned as a possible successor to Supreme Court Justice Willis Van Devanter, who announced yesterday that he wlll retire on June 2.
REFUSES TO COMMENT
Robinson refused to comment on the report. One senator predicted that the upper chamber would confirm Robinson almost unanimously If he were named.
The compromise now offered by the administration senators represents two concessions to the opposition. They are:
1.	“Installment Plan’’ appointments instead of a new batch of Justices all ai once. Hatch, in originally presenting his plan argued that new appointments at the rate of one a year could not be criticized as Intended to "pack” the high tribunaj.
2.	Appointment of new justices only ln case Incumbents of 75 and over fail to retire. The increased age limit Is counted on to win a few additional votes.
Opposition leaders, reiterating claims that the president’s slx-Jus-tice bill is “dead,” maintained they had sufficient strength to defeat any compromise.
