him to return at 10 a.m. He was not told the charges
against him.
Toth had planned to leave Moscow with.his wife
and three,children Friday, ending a three-year tour
here. He said he was given no indication whether
this departure would be delayed.
He said the interrogation had to do entirely with
an incident last Saturday when he was seized on the
street by five KGB security policemen moments
after receiving a document from a Soviet scientist
about parapsychology, the study of mental
telepathy and extrasensory perception.
He was also interrogated for three hours Satur
day.
Toth said he had been introduced to the scientist,
Valery G. Petyukhov, six months ago, and that
Petyukhov telephoned him Saturday to offer his

A. Dobrevolsky, chief of the KGB investigating
group, and that the only other person present was
an interpreter from the Soviet travel agency
Intourist.
U. S. Embassy Second Secretary Larry C. Napper
was barred from accompanying him. Napper said
he was told that under Soviet law a witness does not
have the right to representation during an in
vestigation. .
Toth emerged from his interrogation looking
tired, his necktie loosened, and spoke briefly with
newsmen in front of the yellow brick building before
leaving with Napper and with his wife, Paula.
The correspondent said Dobrevolsky discussed
with him the nature of secret documents.
. “I asked how parapsychology could be considered
a secret,” Toth said. ‘‘The impression I got was that
if you get any information about science that is not
officially released, then that is secret. ’ ’
At the end of the session, Toth was asked to sign a
protocol of his interrogation but refused.
He said he then signed a document to the effect
that ‘‘this protocol has been translated to me and I
have no objection to it in its major portions. ”
