Ike in France: Big 4 Meet Is Climax of Tour. (Part 1) Ike's historic peace mission carries him to Tunisia, most pro-western of the Arab nations and smallest stop on his entire tour. President Habib Bourguiba presents an Arab steed and a cheering populace hails President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Various photo opportunities for the two leaders, chatting and smiling. Turbaned swordsmen stand guard. Motorcade with LOTS of motorcycles surrounding open car as it travels past crowds lining street. Tunisian leader (?) waves goodbye to helicopter as it takes off.
