TRENTON, N.J. (JTA)—The ap-
pellate division of the New Jersey
State Superior Court ruled last
weekend that a property covenant
used by a country club in Wayne
Township, allegedly created to bar
Jews and Negroes, was unlawful.
The decision was contained in a
dismissal by the appellate, division
of an appeal in a suit charging dis-
crimination against the Packanack
Lake Country Club and Community
Association.
The suit was brought several
years ago by two couples, Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Conover and Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Mooney who, as mem-
bers of the association, owned
homes in the area. Homes in Pack-
anack Lake range in price from
$25,000 to $75,000. The section has
its own school and golf course.
The two couples charged that
the association barred anyone from
membership, and thus home owner-
ship, who did not have a northern
European Christian background,
thus allegedly excluding Negroes,
Jews, Puerto Rica and similar
groups.
By this tech que, the plain-
tiffs contended, the club got
around a 20-year-old United
States Supreme Court ban on
covenants which discriminate
specifically against racial and
religious groups. The covenant
requires that prospective prop-
erty owners in the section must
be approved first as members
of the club.
Early this month, a three-judge
panel of the Appellate Division
ruled that the clause of the cov-
enant barring the minority groups
was "null and void" but reserved
decision on whether the ruling was
to be applied to the Packanack
Lake community at large, to a
group of 17 previous defendants
or to the two originally suing fam-
ilies.
In the opinion handed down
March 18, Judge Milton Conford
cited previous decisions banning
restrictive covenants and wrote:
"There is no doubt that these de-
cisions are sound and that, based
upon them and the long-standing
common law principles that under-
lie them, the New Jersey courts
would not sustain the validity or
enforceability of the covenants here
involved."
