Slim, blonde Ilona Toth, 25-year-old medical student, was charged with having murdered a patient, Istvan Kollar, with successive hypodermic injections of narcotics, gasoline and air. She had discovered, by a photograph of him in uniform, that Kollar was an AVH man. Dressed in a navy blue overcoat too big for her slight frame, Ilona Toth appeared in Budapest's gloomy municipal court with ten other Freedom Fighters chosen from the thousands in Kadar's jails.

Among these is Mrs. Dorothy Krueger...
Both Judge Tamm in the Covert case and the Supreme Court in its Toth decision suggested a possible solution to the dilemma. The Congress, they said, could enact legislation giving the U.S. civil courts jurisdiction over certain civilians abroad who are exempted, by treaty or otherwise, from the jurisdiction of local courts. As a Defense Department spokesman said last week, in referring to the armed forces dependents and employees overseas: "They are U.S. citizens and we cannot leave them free to go their merry way with no accountability. We want all our people accountable somewhere...
