Richard Kilian, regular New York correspondent of the Ex press was arrested Friday with Ronald Farquhar of Reuters and Eric Wahar, an Austrian work ing for Associated Press. They were released Friday night. Kilian said the three corres pondents had gone to the Czepel Island Industrial Center near Budapest to see if it was still on strike. ' Going back to their parked car, four policemen, all carry ing tommyguns, and a plain ciothesman arrested them. Token To Headquarter They were taken across a large square to police bead quarters at 3:50 p.m. "Inside the dimly-lit building our papers were checked and then taken upstairs to the Soviet commandant," Kilian wrote in his story filed from Budapest. "We were put under guard in a room with a bed covered with a tattered blanket, a desk, and three chairs. Two Hungarian policemen sat with their tommy guns across their laps three feet from us." Just before seven o'clock, he wrote, a police officer told theijg they would be taken back to Budapest. Despite their protests, they were not allowed to tele phone. In Budapest they were taken to central police headquarters. For two hours Kilian sat while Wahar and Farquhar were taken off for questioning. All the while he was guarded by tommygun- carrying policemen with are- you-a-spy looks. Gets New York Greeting Finally, Kilian said, he was taken in for questioning, and was greeted by a man who said "in the finest New York accent Hi Ya. So you're from New York. Well I spent a lot of them there too'." Kilian was questioned on why he had been near the factory. "It turned out after all that I did not have a certificate from the foreign ministry in Russian and in Hungarian, a certificate which would allow me to work as a journalist in Hungary. But before I could leave I had to admit that I was 'wrong.' ' I had to say that no police man manhandled me. Tne pres ence cf a tommy-gun a few inc'nes from you is not consider ed manhandling." At midnight, the three men were "ceremoniously ushered back" home with a police escort through the deserted streets. Civilian Test Pilot Escapes Injuries El Paso.
