Anti-Red Law Held Invalid in Cumberland Case
Cumberland's city ordinance requiring all Communists to register was ruled invalid by the Allegany County Circuit Court. Judges Henderson and Schnaufter held the measure violated the Fifth Amendment and Maryland's declaration of rights. The appeal by William Boyd Coleman and Arthur W. Schusterman, both former Communists, followed their $100 fines and arrest after the ordinance's September enactment. The court noted the irony of defending constitutional rights in a country opposing Communist control.
