Wed After Special Ruling

Alternate Titles
  • Wed After Special Ruling: Ensign Manuel Lopez, U.S. Naval Academy graduate who is on leave from Vietnam sea duty, poses with his bride, the former Sally Smayling of Wichita, Kan. Under Maryland's anti-miscegenation statute, the ensign -- half Filipino -- was refused a marriage license in nearby Upper Marlboro. Lopez called his father, Washington lawyer Cornelio Lopez, who contacted a colleague. After special pleas to Maryland officials, an order was issued and the wedding took place last Sunday. Ensign Lopez of nearby West Hyattsville, Md., is shown with his bride yesterday.
