(Rec. 9.20 p.m.) TUNIS, Oct. 2 Tunisian official sources said today that French planes strafed the border village of Saket-Sidi-Youssef for half an hour today, while a mortar attack was launched from the Algerian side of the border. The sources said that after each attack there were riots in the village and the Government took measures to protect the European population. In Bone, Eastern Algeria, the Defence Minister in the outgoing French Government (Mr Andre Morice) today conferred with high officials and Army leaders on the sealing-off of the AlgerianTunisian frontier. French military authorities claimed today to have arrested the leaders of the Algerian insurgent movement in the Blida region, south of Algiers.
