offprint from the saturday evening post. Ellsworth Rosen was a resident of a typical white bedroom community in suburban Baltimore. He recounts how 'a dark cloud had descended' on them. The community was, of course not exactly welcoming to its new residents. The head of the black family that moved in and moved their world was none other than Sam Daniels, Director of Maryland's Commission on Interracial Problems. The neighborhood, in full panic mode at first, did start to retreat from their exodus, but not before a great deal of old issues were re-aired.
