Official U.S. sources today received word from Essen Germany, that ex-Nazi industrialist Alfred Krupp has cancelled his trip to the United States to address an international industrial conference in San Francisco. Mr. Krupp’s visit had been protested owing to his convictions by a U.S. war crimes court. The State Department had received a number of complaints.
