appealed. The Court of Appeals, Henderson, J., held that conviction of
'sitin' demonstrators who refused when asked to leave privately owned restaurant
which had a policy of not serving Negroes, and who were arrested when owner
called police, did not constitute denial of freedom of speech.

to the university's school of nursing. The Baltimore City Court, W. Conwell
Smith, J., dismissed petition, and petitioner appealed. The Court of Appeals,
Markell, J., held that petitioner was denied the equal protection of the

H. Carrington Lancaster and others brought suit against
Hall Hammond, Attorney General of the State of Maryland, and others, challenging
the constitutionality of the Subversive Activities Act and the emergency
act re-enacting section three of the Subversive Activities Act and declaring
it an emergency measure, and to enjoin defendants from enforcing any of
the provisions of the acts.
The Circuit Court No. 2, of Baltimore City, Joseph Sherbow,
J., rendered a decree for the complainants, and the defendants appealed.
The Court of Appeals, Henderson, J., held that questions
relating to validity of the Emergency Act were properly before the Court,
that the Emergency Act did not violate the referendum amendment, and that
none of the complainants had any standing to maintain suit to have certain
provisions of the Subversive Activities Act and Emergency Act declared
unconstitutional.
