Hijack Ends Peacefully As East German Surrenders At Tempelhof
A Polish airliner with 63 passengers and eight crew landed at Tempelhof West Berlin where a hijacker, an East German, surrendered to U S authorities. A woman and child were taken into custody, seven other East German passengers were handed to West Berlin refugee authorities. The Tupolev 134 was released to Schoenefeld less than six hours after arrival. Diplomatic tensions rose with Poland and East Germany over extradition and return of all passengers. The event follows a Bonn summit pledge to curb international air piracy, though no clause covered hijackers fleeing to the West. A Polish diplomat noted Western cooperation depends on both sides obeying laws.

The measure allows patients to refuse treatment and access legal counsel through the agency, which would also monitor mental health facilities and act as guardian of last resort. A signing is planned in Chicago with Daley ally support.
