Tunis radio said that a ceasefire was in effect but called for vigilance and readiness to resume battle.

The Tunisian Tap news agency said, however, that a French plane machine-gunned the military airfield of El Aouina outside Tunis at 10:30 p.m. (5:30 p.m. EDT) less than two hours after the cease-fire went into effect on both sides. The report made no mention of casualties. Earlier the agency said Tunisian troops had been instructed to remain where they were pending agreement for withdrawal of troops of both sides to their original positions.

Tunisian resistance had continued strong throughout the day, especially around the central grande mosque in Bizerte although determined paratroopers of the French Foreign Legion had poured murderous fire into the diehard band of Tunisian holding out in the Casbah. CONTROLLED THE SITUATION But the French controlled the situation so thoroughly that four French landing craft sailed serenely in from the Mediterranean Saturday and dropped off light armored units at the Bizerte base without a shot being fired by the Tunisians. The orders were sent first to Bizerte where the tough paratroopers had captured almost the entire city in bloody street fight steps which threatened supply lines for the French-occupied Bizerte base.
