Hall, J., and Collestek, P. J. A. D.,
Temporarily Assigned, dissenting, would reverse the judgment of the Appellate Division and reinstate the conviction for the reason given by Judge Kolovsky in his dissenting opinion in the Appellate Division, viz., that there was ample credible evidence in the record to support the trial court’s finding that defendant had the “intent to move the vehicle,” and so was “operating” it within the rationale of State v. Sweeney, 40 N. J. 359 (1963), and that there is no sound reason for an appellate tribunal to upset that determination.
*128Pashman and Clifford, J.J., concur in the result.
For affirmance—Acting Chief Justice Jacobs, Justices Sullivan, Pashman and Clifford and Judge Conford—5.
For reversal—Justice Hall and Judge Collester—2.
