The Shorehaven Association, a suburban civic group, withdrew its petition for a temporary 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 remains 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 recreational facilities and a parking lot to the estate, asserting that the center would thereby be bringing into the neighbor-hool heavy traffic, would change its character and lower property values. At least one Jewish center official has privately charged discrimination, which was denied by spokesmen for the association.
