PAGE FOUH Deportation Charge Slated ALDERSON, W. Va. W) Tokyo Rose, a convicted traitor to her country, summed up her uncertain future with these words as she was freed from prison Saturday "I am going out Into we aarnness She was trim and petite as she left the blx federal reformatory here, but older at 39 than when she used to tantalize American OIs in the Pacific with dreamy music and low-voiced talk of pret ty girls and home. Her real name Is Mrs. Iva IkukD Toiruri D'Aquino, but the Ameri can soldiers who listened to Radio Tokyo durinir World war II called her Tokyo Rose. Asked as she was freed what her plans were, Mrs. D'Aquino re piled: "I really don't know. I'm going out into the darkness. . . I don't know what I can do because I don't know the restrictions yet. I am still under supervision." She wes sentenced In 1949 to 10 .years for her treasonous broad casts for the Japanese during war time, but sood behavior gave her lime off with parole. She was given permission to go lo Chicago with her family. She faces a deportation hearing there at a lime as yet unspecified. An American citizen, Mrs. D'Aquino is the wife of a newspa perman in Tokyo, Felipe D'Aquino, who holds a Portuguese passport, French Chief Wants Aide PARIS iP Premier-designate Guy Mollet wants ex-Premier Pierre Mendes-Ftance. his Repub lican Front ally, as vice premier In his prospective new government Mollet disclosed the (entatlve cab inet list Saturday night. The list Is notable on several counts: It is made up almost entirely of men from the Rcpubllan Front, a minority combination In the Na tional Assembly of Mollet's Social ists and the Radical-Socialist fol lowers of Mendes-France. It contains no Communists though Communist votes may be necessary to put the Cabinet In nower. It la relatively small, with 13 prospective members. Mellct chose Socialist Christian Plneau as his foreign minister-des ignate, though Mendes-France had held that Job before and wanted to tackle it again. A Negro from the Ivory Coast, Felix Houphouot-Bolgnl, was named a minister without specific duties, attached to the Premier's office. The ministry for restive Algeria was given to Ot-n. oeorges Ca troux, a career otficer and diplo mat who naa no political allllla- Hon and Is not a member of Parlla ment. Algeria is regarded as the No. 1 problem for Mollet If his government receives parliamentary approval next week. Catroux, a former ambassador to Moscow took a large part In the negotia tions last year that returned sul tan Sldi Mohammed Ben Youssef to the Moroccan throne. Most politicians assume Mollet will get Assembly endorsement Tuesday or Wednesday. He does not need an absolute majority of ine 090 momoers to win, but the more votes he gets the stronger nis cabinet will be. There have been reports that he gives him self but three months as premier. He can count on fewer than 200 votes from the parties to be rep resented in the Cabinet. Another 151 will probably come from the Communists. Police Protect Poor Postman TRENTON. N.

Armour, plant manager. estimated three million dollars worth of parts alone were damaged yesterday but aaid full loss at the huge installation has not been de termined. Firemen, sometimes w a d 1 n n waist deep In the lire-coated wa ter, fought the (lames five hours while flreboats played hoses on the blaze. Four men were Injured but not seriously. Armour said the plant would be out of operation at least two months. Only a few of the 1.800 employes were present at the time of the explosion. Weakened by this week s storm that dumped more than six inches of rain, hope dikes collapsed flood ing the 12-acre factory area with oilsllck water. The dike normally holds back sea water. The plant grounds are five feet below sea level, having subsided In recent years because of the extraction of oil from huge pools underneath. Merging with more oil in nearby sumps, the raging flood waters shorted out an electric trans former. The resulting flash ignited the first in a series of explosions. Flaming oil from one of the blasts erupted over a corrugated building housing the power plant. The blaze surged through 'a build ing containing eight 6.000 gallon gasoline and paint thinner tanks. The oils seeped up through the water and burned furiously. One Ford employe, Les Bchoeler man, 45, was splashed with flam ing gasoline. A Ford power engi neer, Mark Davis. 81. was hurled Into ccrrltos channel by one of the explosions. Suffering from shock he was picked up by a passing boat. Schoelerman suifered minor burns. Plant supervisor Clyde Rone, and production Supt. Chris Chris tiansen, in a rowboat Inspecting damage were trapped by the float ing flames and had to dive Into the water. Both were burned slightly.

It was the first in her tour of sweltering Nigeria. The young monarch and her bus band, the Duke of Edinburgh.- ar rived by plane Saturday from Lon don for the lirst visit of reigning royalty, to this century-old British colony. They received an ovation from fantastic throngs, ranging from the half-naked to dignitaries in the height of Nigerian and European fashion. It was a mixture of cheers and torn torn language. The dinner of chicken and bar racuda followed a drive through the jammed 'streets of Lagos and a reception for the more than 100 Journalists accompanying the roy al tour. An ancient air-conditioning de vice cooled the Queen as she sat with 50 guests at a t-shaped table ui me governor general s white three-storied mansion. They were attended by 32 stewards. The air-conditioning Is done by punkahs fans made of a dozen wide' blades suspended, high over the table; a man outside pulls a rope which wafts the blades to and fro. stirring up breezes that give relief from the heat', but do not riffle a lady's hairdo. While the Queen dined with Afri can notables, crowds of curious Ni gerians passed in endless parade outside the mansion to admire the floodlighting. The temperature was In the mld 80s when the Queen arrived. She was calm and unflustered as she stepped from the plane. , Tribesmen who for days had flocked to Legos from deep bush country let out a great shout of "Ekaba" ("welcome" in the Yaruba language i and "Kabiyesi" ("long live the Queen.") This capital city of 300.000 re verberated with the music of strange instruments, the most stir ring of which were the Jungle drums which pounded out "wel come" In their mysteriously ex citing language.
