A statement issued here by the Council of Jews from Germany welcomes the passage of the German Federal indemnification law but points out that amendments and alterations are necessary to make the measure adequate.

The Council says that provisions will have to be made whereby special levies and flight taxes imposed by the Nazis on Jews are returned under the law. As the measure now stands, settlement of this matter may, under certain circumstances, be held over until the passage of another law, which the Council states has not even been drafted.
