Adenauer's Foreign Policy Proven Correct BONN, Germany, Oct. 5 (JP) — Chancellor Konrad Adenauer told the West German Parliament to day the decisions of the London conference had proved- his for eign policy to be basically correct. He said that as a rCsult Ger rpans from the Rhine to the Elbe would haj/e the full power of a sovereign state on internal and foreign questions with only these two exceptions: 1. The Allies retain the right to deal with the Russians on. unity.' . 2. West Berlin must remain oc cupied until the all-German issue is resolved. / Otherwise, the- Chancellor de clared, the Allied occupation is to end for all practical purposes and his governrhent may assume 'nor mal functioning powers ’on all questions of a peaceful nature.

Pilots Refuse to Land At Night in Lock Haven WASHINGTON, Oct. 5 <#}— Allegheny Airlines told the Civil Aeronautics Board today that its pilots refuse to land at iLpck: Hav en, Pa., after dark. ■ The airline asked . the CAB, therefore, to allow it to limit serv ice at Lock Haven to “but one round trip daily during the time of the year that daylight. saving time is not normally in effect.” Allegheny said it is unable, to provide the city with more than one, or at' most 1% round trips daily without unfairly depriving the remaining intermediate points on the Pittsburgh-New York route of service. ' Strike Piers Strike May Spread “There is' a strong possibility that the men in other ports from Portland, Me., to Hampton Roads, Va.,, will, also strike,” said ILA President William V. Bradley. Federal mediators were striving fpr a truce as customs tabulators said practically the whole port was at a standstill. Fifteen ships were being worked at Army piers or docks where longshoremen are npt needed. On the face of it, a contract dis pute over retroactivity and arbi tration touched off the strike. But it also appeared, to be a gesture of defiance toward the New York- New Jersey Waterfront Commis sion, 1 a state-originated agency to police and control the docks. Union Denounces Lane The independent union de nounced Lane, denied the charges and, ILA vice president 'Patrick Patrick J. Connolly declared: . “Whatever chance had remained for . continued negotiations was ruined by the intervention of the Waterfront Commission.” Wood Hits Pa. Democrats UNIONTOWN, Pa., Oct. 5 (/P)— Lt.
