Explosion
LOS ANGELES, (A*) — After u
night spent probing beneath glar
ing searchlights, police today Lxed
the death toll from the city’s vvor*
explosion in 37 years at 15. Of the
153 injured sufficiently to require
hospitalization, several were fear

The scene, as police and firemer.
shifted the blasted rubble of an
electroplating plant, resembled
somewhat a garishly-lit night-t m
movie set. Except that there was
nothing fictional about the car

The one-story brick plant of th.
J. J. O’Connor Corp. at 932 East
Pico bldv., a mile from the center
of downtown Los Angeles, blew
apart in a blinding flash of chem

extremely unstable substance kept

seething, heavy liquid. But how
he acid was set off remained a
mystery.
O'Connor told reporters “we
were doing something for the gov-;
prnment.” This, he later amplified,
was the aluminum-plating of hos- ■

Heavy snow which swept the east

security council session on the Al

The United Nations announced

The announcement came as
Great Britain made it clear she
would oppose a Columbia proposal
to refer to the international court
of justice her complaint that Al
bania is responsible for the deaths
of 44 seamen in two royal navy de
stroyers blasted by mines in Corfu
channel last Oct. 22.
British delegate Sir Alexander
Cadoman remarked tartly that the
international court of justice is
