An employe of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, Eliezer Ringelbaum, was one of five Jews engaged in a variety of occupations, injured in a series of unpunished and unchecked outrages by Nara hoodlums here today.
The others were Abraham Lewkowitsch, a locksmith; Dr. Shimon Lewin, a dentist; Samuel Rosmarin, a mechanic, and David Mamlock, a bookkeeper.
