Defector Returns Westward from Sweden
Harold M. Koch, who left the Chicago Catholic priesthood in 1963 and defected to the Soviet Union last September, has returned to the West. He arrived in Sweden last Monday and stayed at an international students' home in a south Sweden university town. Koch said he defected to protest U.S. Vietnam policy and racial tensions, and that a letter from his Chicago stepmother about his ill father prompted his departure from the Soviet Union after about 14 months. He plans to stay in Sweden until after Christmas.
