London. Nov. l3.--(UP)-The An glo-Ameriean offensive in North Africa. lifting the spirit of Axis-oc- cupied Europe's oppressed millions has touched off new acts of ssbo- tage, and the NaZis have struck back with executions and death sen- tences. underground advices from the continent and German reports revealed today.
 News of American successes in Algeria and Morocco and of Adolf Hitler's frantic efforts to counter the Allied threat against the under belly'' of the Axis. swept the con- tinent by grapevine" channels like wildfire. the reports disclosed. The occupied peoples rejoiced equally over Marshal Erwin Rommers stag gering losses and nasty retreat.
 Patriots from Norway to the Balkans obviously were infiamed and inspired by the realization that their day of liberation was drawing nearer. Although warned repeatedly by the United Nations not to expose themselves needlessly to ruthless Nazi and Italian reprisals, many patriots struck at the Axis through sabotage which even reportedly fiared up within Germany.

Mystery Surrounds
 Adm. Darlan's Status
Strange Appeal to French Fleet at TOulOn Interpreted
 in Different Ways By Correspondents

use the word entertained advls- edly."
 But even Darlan's request to the French fleet was not his first Res- ture Of assistance to the Americans. First he had negotiated an armis- ticc at AlRlers soon after the Amer ican landings. Then, lin th. name of the marshal" he had ordered all French resistance throughout North Africa to cease. The com bination Of the three gestures of aid increased the impression that he was now on the Allied side.
 The correspondents report on his appeal was extremely brief and did not suggest it's context.
 1t was expected here to strengthen the hand of the pro-AllieS among the French naval occrs at Toulon who. according to frontier dis patches reaching Madrid, have been conferring aboard their ships to decide whether to submit 10 the Axis or make 6 bid to join the AL lies.
 In the absence of authoritative information. observers were of the opinion that Darlan's broadcast in- dicated that Darlan is now con- vinced that the Germans sooner or later will attempt to grab the French ships and he was making an effort 10 get them out of Hit ler's reach
 Whether Darlan is prepared to throw the full weight of his influ- ence onto the United Nations side against the Axis, however. still was not clear and is likely to remain SO until some high United Nations source makes public his status and intentions.
 There appeared to be several obstacles in the way Of the ships complying with Darlan's request if their officers were of such a mind. Much may depend on whether a big majority of the crews are 100 per cent Darlan men. The Gestapo has way with the families of anti-NaziS.
 Whatever the decision of the French sailors at Toulon, it was hourly becoming more difficult for the ships to escape, with German panzer divisions reported masSing outside Toulon and the German air force, including many bombers, rapidly occupying the surrounding air fields. The fleet would have to run a gauntlet of the heavy blitzing which the German air force would undoubtedly administer if 1t at- tempted to escape.

London, Nov. is.--tup)-New mystery was added today to the in- tentions Of that part Of the French fleet remaining in tho French naval base at Toulon. on the French Mediterranean coast, by the strange appeal of its erstwhile commander -in-chicf, Admiral Jean Francois Darlan. to go Co Amef;san domln- ater French North Africa or other wise remove itself from "Tthc Ger man grasp.
 The strangencSs was in the fact that Darlan in radio broadcast from Alglcrs, asked the Comman- ders of the shipg Co leave Toulon. The correspondent who filed the an- nouncement oi hts action from Al- lied headquarters in French North Africa in behalf of all American cor- respondents under a pooling ar- rangement, was careful to point out that he had rcfraincd from order ing" them. Darlan up to last sat- urday, when the American landed in North Africa, was not only com mander- in -chiCf Of the fleet but commandcr-in- of all Vicht armed forces The Vichy radio had said that Marshal Henri Philippe Fetain had superseded him in hts larger office. Nevertheless it had been believed that the fleet would obey any order he issued because he is strictly H navy man who had been the naval supreme commander for a long time,
 The correspondent at Allied North African headquarters referred to Darlan as the captive former chief of Vichy French armed forces A spokesman oi the Allies here had defined his status as follows He Is being entertained by an American general in Algiers with all the dig nity due his rank and record and I

WASHINGTON. March 49,
(Ro - Petroleum Coordinator
Ickes announced today a rigid
gasoline coupon rationing sys-
tenn would be instituted in the
East and Pacific northwest as
soon a the cards can be printed
(which he estimated would be
within Six weeks. e-fs'F
The card rationing would sup
plant the curtailment program
instituted over the same area
today through reduction by 20
percent in the supplies of gaso-
line delivered to filling stations.
Ickes said he could not say
now whether the more rigid
system would be severer than
the present one-fifth cut in con-
sumption, but expresse d the
hope that the card system might
be instituted quickly because of
the increasing urgency of the
supply situation in the two coast
al areas caused by the sinking
and war diversion of tanker
ships.
Operations of approximately
100000 filling stations in the
area were limited to a 12-hour
day, six-day-week.

journey was spent in waiting for
the planes, it was said.
At times the little boats were
pounded by heavy seas, Ray
