Three youths who participated in attacks on the B’nai Israel Synagogue here were given indeterminate sentences in different local industrial correction schools late yesterday. Twelve others were charged as “alleged delinquents.”

A fourth youthful member of a Nazi-like youth group at the Olney High School here who planned and participated in attacks on synagogues was sent to a house of correction. The remaining 11 defendants, together with five “material witnesses.” were placed on probation for five years. All the defendants were lectured severely by Municipal Court Judge John A. Boyle.
