WENNERSTEN Frostburg Montgomery County Calvert County University of Maryland, State College Historical Society Historical Sociery Easrern Shore Editor's Comer The magazine this year has tried to cover topics in each of the four centuries that frame the Maryland record. Though future volumes may not consist so neatly of century-theme issues, we do again solicit essays exploring the "recent past"—the years that mature persons may recall but wish to reflect upon and that younger ones seem all too often to miss in school because the semester ended too quickly. In this issue Garrett Power discusses an interesting and instructive zoning case from the early twentieth century—wherein, as many of us know, struggles over zoning and devel- opment have been at the heart of local experience. Drawing from a paper she gave at the "Torchlights to Television" conference at the MHS last fall, Jo Ann E. Argersinger next explores the extent to which the New Deal made Baltimore politics new—the tenacity of traditional politicians as against the power of newly active constituencies. The "Research Notes" section contains a picture album returning attention to a long-forgotten Maryland artist. Though on the cover we take liberties with one of his etchings, adding color for the sake of the season, Mr. Doyle's daughter, author of the piece, cheerfully grants her per- mission. In the same spirit, the editors wish all readers a joyful holiday. Cover design: "Cathedral {now Basilica) of the Assumption from a New Angle." Etching by James Doyle (Baltimore News, 1913)- Pyrrhic Victory: Daniel Goldman's Defeat of Zoning in the Maryland Court of Appeals GARRETT POWER 1\| owadays government regulation of the use of urban land is taken for granted. Such was not always the case. Some sixty years ago, the Maryland Court of Appeals held it unconstitutional for Zoning Commissioner J. Frank Crowther to deny Daniel Goldman's request for a permit to operate a tailor shop in the basement of his house in the Eutaw Place neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland. This paper examines the case of Goldman v. Crowther.1 Daniel Goldman's story reads like a comic melodrama with a tragic ending. But the saga also illuminates the social condition—it sheds light and casts shadows on the practice of xeno- phobia, the nature of law, and the excesses of regulation. Daniel Goldman arrived in Baltimore in 1913, a twenty-three year old immi- grant from Russia. Ten years later he was operating a tailor shop at 410 Park Avenue, in a bustling commercial section of downtown Baltimore, and living with his wife, Annie, over the shop.2 But not for long. Goldman had plans to move uptown. On 9 April 1923, he purchased a house at 1513 Park Avenue near Eutaw Place, one of Baltimore's grandest residential neighborhoods. The building, a four-story row house, already had a basement entrance. The Goldmans would live upstairs and operate a shop in the basement.3 On 19 May 1923, the city council passed a zoning law which divided Baltimore into districts. The Goldman property was located in a residential district, and under the terms of the ordinance it could only be used for residential purposes. Zoning Commissioner J. Frank Crowther denied Goldman's request for a permit to operate a shop in the basement.4 Daniel Goldman hired general practitioner James E. Tippett as his attorney. Lawyer Tippett disdained an administrative appeal to the Board of Zoning Appeals. Instead he had Goldman open his shop without a permit and suffer conviction of a misdemeanor. The cause having been ripened, Goldman then sought a writ of mandamus ordering issuance of a permit on the grounds that the ordinance was unconstitutional.5 Daniel Goldman was a perfect plaintiff for a constitutional challenge. He had bought 1513 Park Avenue shortly before enactment of the zoning ordinance and Mr. Garrett Power, professor of law at the University of Maryland School of Law, has prepared this article as a chapter from a book in progress on the development of twentieth<entury Baltimore. 275 MARYLAND HISTORKAI.

Clear areas are residential districts, shaded areas are commercial districts. Arrows indicate the location of Daniel Goldman's two houses. (Source: Maryland Historical Society.) Pyrrhic Victory 277 therefore had legitimate expectation of commercial use. Tailoring was clean and quiet. Denial of a permit could not be justified as the abatement of a nuisance. The mandamus suit was heard in December of 1923 by Judge Charles Heuisler of the Baltimore Supreme Bench. He denied the writ and upheld the constitution- ality of the ordinance. In his oral opinion Heuisler said: The growth of Baltimore has been restricted too much by indiscriminate building. Many of our most beautiful residential sections have been encroached upon by com- mercial houses, and as a result the city has been handicapped by this manner of growth.6 After making his ruling Judge Heuisler gratuitously suggested another use for zoning.

Vose ON MAY 3, 1948, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that neither federal nor state courts may issue injunctions to enforce racial re- strictive covenants.1 This decision reversed thirty years of history during which privately-drawn housing restrictions against Negroes had been en- forced by the courts of nineteen states and the District of Columbia. Be- cause precedent and the Restatement of Property,2 issued by the American Law Institute in 1944, favored judicial sanction of racial covenants, the Supreme Coures decision gave a surprising turn to legal development.

UB administration and faculty members in the law school and in the undergraduate departments of history and community studies are planning a series of projects and events to commemorate the 40th anniversary of this pivotal event. We are currently working with the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History, The Jewish Museum of Maryland, Maryland Public Television and the Enoch Pratt Free Libraries to pursue funding for projects that may include conferences, a website and a library traveling exhibit. Your potential participation in an oral history project would contribute to the very foundation of this project – the memories of Baltimoreans who lived through the riots and saw the changes that came about in response to them.

During the past fiscal . year, this administration continued its focus of protecting Arizona's citizens through aggressive enforcement of state laws and providing quality legal representation to state agencies. We have vigorously defended Arizona's environment by prosecuting those that destroy our natural resources, pursued dozens of companies and individuals who prey on unsuspecting consumers, and convicted many notorious criminals for the heinous crimes they perpetrated. We concentrated our administrative efforts into implementing cost-saving measures that allow us to prioritize our resources into retaining and compensating top-quality \egal staff. Loss of well-trained, experienced attorneys from the Attorney General's Office to higher paying private and public sector positions continues to be a problem that requires close scrutiny by the Legislature.

    “A Mean City”: The NAACP and the Black Freedom Struggle in Baltimore, 1935-1975 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By: Thomas Anthony Gass, M.A. Department of History The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Hasan Kwame Jeffries, Advisor Dr. Kevin Boyle Dr. Curtis Austin 1 Copyright by Thomas Anthony Gass 2014 2 Abstract “A Mean City”: The NAACP and the Black Freedom Struggle in Baltimore, 1935-1975” traces the history and activities of the Baltimore branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) from its revitalization during the Great Depression to the end of the Black Power Movement. The dissertation examines the NAACP’s efforts to eliminate racial discrimination and segregation in a city and state that was “neither North nor South” while carrying out the national directives of the parent body. In doing so, its ideas, tactics, strategies, and methods influenced the growth of the national civil rights movement. ii Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to the Jackson, Mitchell, and Murphy families and the countless number of African Americans and their white allies throughout Baltimore and Maryland that strove to make “The Free State” live up to its moniker. It is also dedicated to family members who have passed on but left their mark on this work and myself. They are my grandparents, Lucious and Mattie Gass, Barbara Johns Powell, William “Billy” Spencer, and Cynthia L. “Bunny” Jones. This victory is theirs as well. iii Acknowledgements This dissertation has certainly been a long time coming.
