Red Chemist Takes
Asylum in Canada
OTTAWA UPt — A prize-winning
Soviet chemist, Mikhail A. Klot
chko, remained in a secret hide
out Thursday after slipping away
from a party, of visiting Soviet
scientists and taking political
asylum in Canada.
Klotchko, 59, had been awarded
the xStalin Prize and Order of
Lenin, indicating he stood well
in Soviet scientific circles. He is
a specialist in inorganic chemistry.
In Moscow the Soviet Foreign
Ministry declined comment on the
defection. Spokesmen at the So
viet Academy of Science and the
Soviet Academy of Organic Chem
istry claimed they had never
heard of Klotchko.
Commissioner C. W. Harvison
of the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police, who took Klotchko untjer
his protection, described him as
a chemist of “considerable world
importance.”
Klotchko was in a group of So
viet scientists that came to Canada
early in August for the 18th In
ternational Corigress on Theoret
ical and Applied Chemistry in
Montreal and stayed on to do
same sightseeing.
Klotchko is a widower with no
family in, the Soviet Union.
Dr. Alan D. Westland, assistant
professor otf chemistry at the Uni
versity of Ottawa, said he had
glanced over some of Klotchko’s
published work and on the basis
of these doubted his defection
would be of strategic importance
to Canada.
