Dr. Walter P. Schreiber, ex-Nazi general accused of complicity in war crimes, has left the United States. This was made known today in a communication received by Rep. Jacob K. Javits from Col. K.R. Kreps of the Department of Defense. His destination was not disclosed.

Schreiber, who was employed until early this year by the Government at the U.S. Air Force School of Aviation Medicine, Randolph Field, Texas, has a record of involvement in Nazi medical atrocities and was mentioned at the Nuremberg trials. The Government refused to renew his contract after nation-wide protests complained against his employment. The German doctor remained in the United States, however, and sought other employment. Demands for his deportation were made by members of Congress and a number of organizations.
