CHANGE IN ARMY COURT
 I5 FAVORED

WASHINGTON, Feb, 21-lP- Members of the House Armed Ser vices Committee today promised speedy action on army proposals for changing the Articles of War to meet criticism that military jus tice is loaded against enlisted men.
 Secretary Paterson said the War Department favors amendments which would CD legalize appoint ment of CTS to serve on courts marital, .n now the prerogative ot officers only; @ end the manda- tory sentence of death or life im- prisonment for rape, and (3) protect courts martial from high ranking outside pressure.
 Chairman Elston (R-Ohio) of the Armed Services legal subcommittee said the changes appear to embody most recommendations of sharply critical report by the House Mili- tary group which investigated the court martial system last year. Els ton told a reporter he will try to get them before Congress as quick ly as possible.

AUDITORS FIGURES
 UPHELD BY C0FFEY

Speaking under special privilege at the close of yesterday afternoons Senates session, Senator Edward c. Coffey referred back to considera- tion of the bill to abolish the AL aska Development Board. At that time, ADB General Manager chal- lenged figures Coffey had obtained from the Auditors Office.
 In particular, Sundborg showed a difference of approximately $4,000 between what the Auditor had shown and his own figures on the amount of salary paid out to the General Manager. Coffey explained yesterday that Sundborg's figures did not include s4,526.67 paid to Robert Henning, who though head of the agency for time was never technically the General Manager.
 Coffey stated he did not believe there should be any reflection al- lowed to remain on the Auditors Office.

'White Paper FIFTEEN ARE Issued Today KNOWN DEAD

Ruins Are Searched During Night Under Glare
 of SearthIighfs

LOS ANGELES, Feb 2l-tR After a night spent probing beneath glaring searchlights, police today fixed the death toll from the city's worst explosion in 37 years at IS. Or the 1858 injured sufficiently to require disqualification, several were feared dying.
 The scene, as police and firemen shifted the blasted rubble of an electro plating plant, resembled somewhat a ghastly lit nighttime movie set. except that there was nothing fictional about the car mage.
 The one-story brick plant of the J. J. OConnor Corp. at 932 East Pico Blvd, mile from the center of downtown Los Angeles, blew apart in binding flash of chemicals at 9;45 am. (PSTD yesterday, but it was hours before a clear picture Of the disaster could be pieced togeth- CT.
 Police and fire officials finally agreed that it was caused by the detonation of perchloric acid, an extremely unstable substance kept under pressure in refrigeration be- cause at room temperature it is a seething, heavy liquid. How the acid was set off remained a mystery.
 O'Connor told reporters we were doing something for the govern ment." This, he later amplified was the aluminium plating of hospital beds and chairs under a secret trade process. Not in the plant at the time, he was reported in col lapse at his home last night.
 Most of the victims of the city's worst blast since the Los Angeles Times dynamiting killed 20 men in 1910 were in the plant or adja- cent heavily damaged buildings, all though a l0-year-old negro riding his bicycle several blocks away died

Labor Party Government Gives Working Pat
 fern for Nation"
By WILLIAM L. PHILLIPS

LONDON, Feb. 21.-lR-The La bor party government issued today a grim white paper called "a work ing pattern for the nation" It told the austerity-weary Britons they must increase production or risk the foundations of our national life" {"
 The white paper-designation of important official documents issued by the government-said The nation needs coal, produc- tion and foreign currency.
 The private individual must con- tinue rationing, forego hopes Of shorter hours, increase his individ- ual output in mine, mill and fac tory.
 Organized labor must abandon industrial arrangements which re- strict production, prices or employ ment.'
 Industry must export one-fourth of it's products and accept stern system of priority allotments of manpower and supplies.
 Sir Stafford Cripps, Board of Trade President, told news con- ference the plan is not 'totalitar- ian"
 We do not say that whether you like it or not you have got to go into the coal mine, or steel factory, or whatever it may be, he said.
 Instead, We try to induce em- ployers and employees to conform to a pattern of industrial produc- tion in order to get the greatest benefits for the nation as whole. y

S0L0NS HAVE LAW MILL IN
 FULL ACTON
 Nine Measures Are Passed Upon by Senators at
 Afternoon Session

Back from lunch with a full head of steam, the Alaska Senate drove through nine measures at It's yes terday afternoon session, passing most of them unanimously Last measure on the calendar was $. B 34. 16-page measure by Senator O. D. Cochran, designed to revamp the Alaska criminal code into conform ity with recent acts of Congress and Federal Court regulations. The many amendments proposed merely put the law as it is now being prac- ticed into the Alaska statutes.
 The Attorney General was on hand to help the Senators through the unwieldy measure; explaining each provision as it was read. Af- ter the bill was adopted by unan- imous vote, the Senators considered that a full days work had been well done. Previously they had passed favorably upon six other bills and two memorials.
 One of the memorials was intro- duced only yesterday morning, but when it came out of Committee in the afternoon was immediately jumped to the head of the calen- dar. That memorial, s. J. M. l2, by Frank Peratrovich, conveys the Legislatures endorsement of the Alaska game conservation program outlined by the Alaska Game Con- mission. An amendment by Senator Edward D. Cofiey made for more acceptable reading, without altering the purpose. Passage was accom- panied by considerable side com- ment regarding the need for action against predators--including those humans who practice moose hunting by airplane.
 For a time, the body considered hearing Game Commission Chair man Earl Dinner, but decided to go on with the business at hand. Sen ator Cochran expressed willingness to enact legislation that the ACC might require to back up ban on airplane hunting.
 Candidates Oath
 Senator N R. Walker sped pas sage of his S. B. l9, which requires candidates to file oaths concern ing their qualifications for the elective office sought, with state ment that the bill is designed to correct situations like that which arose in the Third Division last year, concerning the election to the Senate for a special term, of now Rep. Steve McCutcheon. His bill he said, would definitely establish the qualifications of a candidate Wednesdays controversy on House Bill 26 was carried over and be- gun anew yesterday.
