BLAST ROCKS SCHOOL MARSEILLE, France (Reuters) -—Twenty children were-injured Wednesday when an explosion be- lieved caused by a gas leak rocked a school. TUNIS (AP) -— Tunisia de- manded _Wednesday the evacua- tion of French forces as the price of restoring French - Tunisian friendship and the government underscored its demand with in- creased hostility, including firing on a French patrol boat at Bizerte. . In retaliation for France’s air attack on the border village of Sakiet Sidi Youssef Saturday, Tu- nisian President Habib Bour- guiba told France to pull out 15,000 troops and give up her strategic naval base at Bizerte. But the French showed no signs of bowing to Tunisian demands. In Paris, the French were re- ported ready to seek to have French bases in Tunisia brought under NATO command. Then Bourguiba would have to deal with the NATO alliance although Tunisia is not a member. Bourguiba’s demand came after he talked with foreign dip- lomats. An angry crowd of Tuni- sians outside the presidential pal- ace clamored for action. The_crowd broke up after Bour- guiba announced his demand for the removal of French forces. BARRICADE FRENCH BASES As he spoke his small army de- fied F r e n c 11 might. National guard t r o o p s barricaded the French military bases. Truck- loads of Tunisian troops sped to Bizerte to build defences around entrances to the harbor. Tunisian forces fired with small arms at a French naval patrol Pearson OTTAWA (CP)—Liberal leader Lester B. Pearson set off on the campaign trail Wednesday night in search of . his first mandate a-nd promising a “good fight for we have something to fight for.” The 60-year-old party chieftain, elected to head his party just 27 days ago, swung aboard a train bound for Ontario points while Prime Minister John Diefenbaker delivered his keynote address at Winnipeg. Mr. Pearson will elaboraet on his $400,000,000 t-ax - cut pledge and unfold in few others he now is mulling over. The 1957 Nobel Peace Prize winner said in an interview he regrets he has had little time. to reorganize the party, beaten at the polls in the June 1957 elec- tion after 22 con-ti-n-uous years in office. “But I am impressed by the new enthusiasm and spirit in the party. It will be a good fight, for we have something to fight for." PEARSON IS CONTRAST The line taken by Mr. Pearson is sure to be a contrast to the mild - mannered campaign con- ducted by his predecessor, for- mer prime minister Louis St. Laurent, in the 1957 fight. Then the elderly Mr. St.» Laurent, now 76, pledged mainly to maintain on Campaign Trail “good government.” M1‘. Pearson outlined a whole raft of vote-catching pledges, in- cluding lower taxes, special tax concessions‘ for newlyweds and virtually free educations for an army of university students. He labelled his an “unemploy- ment crash program,” to reduce the number of jobless by pour- ing new spending power into con- sumers’ pockets. He coupled this with promises of new works pro- jects, such as Atlantic and West- ern trunk highways and a $60,- 000,000 rail branch in the North- west Territories. He may outline new Liberal proposals to increase the prov- inces’ share of the Canadian tax pot, along with other measures for a “fair sharing of Canada's wealth.” MUCH TIME IN ONTARIO Mr. Pearson likely will spend a large part of the campaign in Ontario for it was in this pr-ov- ince that the Progressive.Con- servatives made their strongest showing in 1957. He heads first for the little Northern Ontario town of Espan- ola for a nominating meeting in his home riding of Algoma East Thursday a fte rnoon. Thursday night he will be in Sudbury and Friday night in Hamilton, where _craft trying to slip out of the har- bor Tuesday night. When the fir- ing started, the craft returned to the base. The Tunisians have threatened to block the harbor entrances by sinking ferryboats if the French try to run the blockade. This technique was used by the Egyp- tians in the Suez Canal during the 1956 hostilities. It took months to clear the canal again. The French used three helicop- ters to fly supplies to an army base near Tunis. This was in de- fiance of a Tunisian threat to shoot down aircraft trying to de- liver supplies. G0 SLOWS AT UN At the United Nations, Tunisian Ambassador Mongi Slim held up for a UN Security Council meet- ing pending further consultations. He is understood to be study- ing what action Tunisia could get from the council. Slim talked among others with Soviet dele- gate Arkady Sobolev, council president \. for February. French forces apparently were under orders to restrain them- selves. Premier Felix Gaillard’s gov- ernment appeared toi be acting more boldly in the face of criti- cism from its allies. Gaillard, who got sound backing from the Na- tional Assembly Tuesday night after defending the attack, sen-t his ‘government's own report to the NATO Council, beating out Norway, which threatened to bring up the matter.

Ten others were reported missing. Lebanon denounced “French acts of violence” and declared its solidarity with Tunisia.

' He outlined plans for heavy spending on roads and railways to open northern resouces‘, mea.s- ures to strengthen Canadian con- trol over foreign investment, and expansion of power outpu-t across Canada. _ The Conservative leader also promised extension of old age pensions with "a rounded and ef- fective contributory social secur- ity plan” patterned on a study of the United States social security program. Mn‘. Diefenbaker spoke in Win- nipeg’s Civic Auditorium. The crowd filled all of the 4,100 seats in the main hall and 800 in the concert hall behind the stage where listeners could not see the speaker. There also were an esti- mated 300 persons trying to get in when the doors were closedl Mr. Diefenbaker said he did not call the March 31 election “with- out trying in every way to pre- vent it.” But he added: “Canada’s major needs cannot be served by a minority govern- ment." Conservatives held 113 of the 265, Commons seats in the last Parliament. The text of his speech was re- leased to the press before deliv- ery.

The principles of the Prairie farm re- habilitation plan, begun in the 1930s in the West, would be ex- tended to all of Canada. A Conservative government would seek tax adjustments to put Canadians on a more equal footing with foreign investors.

Mr. Low said the recently-an- nounced Liberal program left people wondering why tax cuts and more social benefits were not instituted when the Liberals were in power. The Soc-ial Credit leader spoke at a press conference here while en route by air from Ottawa to Victoria, B.C. “There is a 50-50 chance the election will go one way or the other,” he said. “Quebec is the key. Whichever party takes 25 or 30 seats in Quebec will win the election."
