Jews in Tunisia have not been affected by the tense situation now developing between Tunisia and France over the bombardment by French planes of a Tunisian village which was considered a stronghold of Algerian rebels against France it was reported here today. Travelers returning from Tunis said that no anti-Jewish manifestations have taken place in Tunis, as reported in a Cairo broadcast.

The Cairo radio is constantly broadcasting anti-Jewish incitement in Arabic to the people of Tunisia trying to create the impression that the Jews in Tunisia are siding with France. However the Tunisian authorities are making it clear to the population that the conflict with France has nothing to do with the anti-Jewish allegations which the Cairo radio is spreading.
