WJC Assembly Attacks Red Satellites for Negative Views Geneva, Aug. 3. (JTA)—The negative attitude displayed by the Soviet Union and its satellite countries towards appeals for indemnification for huge losses sustained In their territories by Jews during the Nazi occupation is cited as "grounds for anxiety" by the World Jewish Congress in a report disseminated here. The report was issued in connection with the Third Plenary Assembly of the World Jewish Congress which opened here Tuesday to discuss problems concerning Jewish life In every part of the world. About 275 delegates from Jewish'communities in 47 countries arc attending the parley which will .continue for a - full week. Emphasizing that It wag in' Soviet-controlled territories where the Nazis inflicted the "vast majority of Jewish material losses and murdered millions of Jews, the WJC report points out that although peace treaties between the Allies and successors of Nazi governments of. .Jtumania,, Hun-
