Karol Sidor, Slovakian Nazi leader whose presence in the United States caused a storm of protest from Jewish and Slovakian organizations, has left the country, the Immigration and Naturalization Service said today.
Sidor’s temporary three-month visitor’s pass expired yesterday. Authorities here said it would not be renewed. The decision followed complaints by Rep. Arthur G. Klein of New York to the Justice and State Departments, noting that Sidor led Nazi organizations in Czechoslovakia during the Hitler era.
