French paratroopers were re- ported to have been dropped on the city after the bombing at- tack and fighting was reported going on in the streets. A Tunisian government com- munique quoted by Reuters news agency said low-flying planes began dropping bombs shortly before noon and that French tanks were moving on the town. The new assault came shortly after Tunisian President Habib Bourguiba announced he would accept volunteers from other countries in the fight to oust France from the strategic base. OFFER HELP Algerian insurgent leaders at once offered to supply soldiers and arms to the Tunisians. The Algerians have some 15,000 well- armed guerrillas in camps along Tunisia"s border with French-ruled Algeria The Tunisian news agency Tunis Afrique Presse said Tu- nisian troops still controlled the "nerve centres" of the town of Bizerte but French troops had moved up to about 1,000 yards from the town. French aircraft were sweep- ing low over the town, machine- gunning Tunisian barracks The Tunisian government communique accused the French of engaging in "deliber- ate genocide' through its meas- ures against the civilian popu- lation.

The big question was whether Macmillan in his month - end statement will disclose the gov- ernment's positive intention to negotiate. Robert Turton, a Conserv- ative, told the Commons he gathered from newspaper re- ports that the "sounding out" visits of British cabinet minis- ters had failed to convince the Commonwealth that there would be no harmful effects if Britain joined the Common Market. Authoritative sources ex- pected the government to hold a series of ministerial meetings to study the Commonwealth re- actions as soon as all the min- isters return to London. They said the meetings would con- tinue during the next 10 weeks. Official circles here were looking to a Sept. 12 meeting of the Commonwealth finance min- isters to discuss Commonwealth reactions to British entry to the European group. Informed political sources said Ghana is in consultations with the other Commonwealth countries on the question of Accra as the site.

VIRGIL Grissom emerges from her Stony Brook |year-old air force captain from Nearly Drowned the capsule an additional two minutes after he landed to com- plete a check of instruments in- side the vehicle. An Associated Press reporter aboard the Randolph sent word Liberty Bell 7 splashed on the surface at 8:36 a.m., not far from the prime recovery ship. Calling on his many years of experience as a combat and test pilot, Grissom performed a va- riety of tasks on the flight. For brief periods, he con- trolled the two-ton space ship by switching its roll, pitch and yaw. Throughout the flight Gris- som, of Mitchell, Ind., radioed assurances that his condition was good and that sil capsule systems performed normally. ""A-ok, A-ok," he radioed sev~ eral times. As the Redstone rose, the pilot reported: "The sun is really bright." SAW EAST COAST Through his 19-inch "picturs window," he reported seeing thé east coast of the United States but was unable to identify land- marks because of the bright sun. Nine minutes after launching, as his space craft re-entered the atmosphere, he reported: "I feel very good. Everything is looking good."
