Glaz and Wickless introduced the class $G$ of mixed abelian groups $A$ which have finite torsion-free rank and satisfy the following three properties: i) $A_p$ is finite for all primes $p$, ii) $A$ is isomorphic to a pure subgroup of ${\Pi }_p{A}_p$, and iii) $\mathrm{H}om(A,tA)$ is torsion. A ring $R$ is a left Kasch ring if every proper right ideal of $R$ has a non-zero left annihilator. We characterize the elements $A$ of $G$ such that $E\left(A\right)/tE\left(A\right)$ is a left Kasch ring, and discuss related results.
