Phone 5-8690 THE SOUTHERN JEWISH WEEKLY Steinbrink Files Formal Complaint Against New Jersey Hotel Justice Meier Steinbrink of Brooklyn has filed a formal com plaint with the New Jersey Division Against Discrimination charging that he was denied accommodations by the Chalfonte-Haddori Hall in Atlantic City because of his "Jewish creed." The incident which prompted the action by the recently retired New York Supreme Court Judge occurred on March 5, 1952, when he attempted to make a reserva tion for a double room through the Chalfonte’s New York office. The request was made via tele phone by the Judge’s secretary in his name. Later that same day the Hotel’s New York representa tive called back to say that no accommodations were available for the desired dates, March 25th to April Ist. "Suspecting that the refusal of accommodations was due to my Jewish name," Justice Steinbrink stated, "I immediately arranged for a telephone call to be made to the New York office of the respondent hotel under the name of John Elliot." This reservation, the Judge as serted, which was for the same accommodations originally re quested by him, was granted by the hotel and subsequently con firmed by letter. On the basis of these facts. Jus tice Steinbrink concluded in his complaint that the Chalfonte- Haddon Hall had denied him ac commodations "on account of my creed, thereby violating the law of New Jersey barring such dis crimination." The Chalfonte Haddon Hall Hotel has also been named in a similar complaint filed with the New Jersey Division Against Discrimination by Mrs. Rose Seligsberg of New York City. Mrs. Seligsberg maintained that she called the hotel for a single reservation for March 6 and was assured by a room clerk that "I could come to the hotel any time and that they had any number of rooms available." After giving her name, however, she subsequently received a letter from George J. Turcotte, the manager, stating that no accommodations were available because the hotel was "completely booked to capacity." Mrs. Seligsberg related that she went to Atlantic City on March 3 and pointed out to Mr. Turcotte that his letter was "inconsistent with the information I had re Ml N T O N'S Men, Women and Children's Clothing BEACH ANDSPORTWEAR 202 N. 2nd.

I In a letter to the New Jersey Division Against Discrimination. Oscar Groner, of Newark, New Jersey Regional Director of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, recalled that "numerous persons of Jewish faith had com plained of discriminatory prac tices on the part of the Chalfonte- Haddon Hall Hotel. Mr. Groner further pointed out that “the hotel frankly admitted | its anti-Semitic policy in a cir cular letter to travel agents dated July 22, 1938,” which noted that “We solicit Gentile patronage.” Subsequently, the hotel denied following a policy of discrimina tion but, Mr. Groner added, “com plaints invariably point out that persons with Jewish names who wanted to make a reservation at the hotel were told that no ac commodations were available MAYBELLE'S Souvenir Shop Beach Wear Souvenirs Boardwalk "At Pier Entrance" JACKSONVILLE BEACH, FLA.
