A complaint charging the Lake Placid Club, an Adirondack Mountain resort, has practiced “unlawful” discrimination against Mrs. Cornelius Lubow a Jew, has been filed with the New York State Commission Against Discrimination.
In her complaint, Mrs. Lubow charged that the resort characterizes itself as a “club” and requires an applicant for accommodations to be sponsored by a “member” as a device for discriminating against Jews. The Anti-Defamation League; to whom Mrs. Lubow originally brought the matter, said there have been “many instances” of such discrimination by the Lake Placid Club.
