Norwalk's Jewish
Center Dropped

NORWALK, Conn. (JTA)—
The Shorehaven Association, a
suburban civic group, with-
drew its petition for a tem-
porary injunction to prevent
the use of a local estate by
the Norwalk Jewish Center.
However, the situation remains
unresolved, because a petition
for a permanent injunction re-
mains before the Court of
Common Pleas and attorneys
for both sides have agreed to
let the judge decide the case
on its merits. There is no
certainty when the plea for a
permanent injunction will be
heard.

The association has objected
to center plans to add recrea-
tional facilities and a parking
lot to the estate, asserting that
the center would thereby be
bringing into the neighbor-
hood heavy tr a f f i c, would
change • its character and lower
property values. At least one
Jewish center official has pri-
vately charged discrimination,
which was denied by spokes-
men for the association.
