A Look Magazine reporter visited them (Crazy Joe was a publicity hound even then) and encountered Punchy. "What's he doing here?" asked the reporter. "He's our dwarf," replied Crazy Joe, as if, "Doesn't your magazine have a dwarf? Doesn't everyone?" I loved it! Repeat of earlier Q: What Mob boss did Fat Vinnie Teresa serve time with?

So from what I've read about Lansky and co. throughout several books, and being that he was made a member of the ADL of B'nai Israel, I am going to have to guess that it was Moe Dalitz But I will not post a question until you give the go ahead.
