Mexico from their last post in
Fort Carson, Colo. The gen.
eral took three weeks leave, so
the couple had a chance to
visit many of the places South
Of the Border they hadn't seen
since their last vacation jaunt
there in 1910.
The Van Houtens won't be
settled In their Fort Myer
quarters for a little time yet.
Their belongings are still in
storage and they are living in
an apartment on the post for
the present. They left their
16-year-old daughter, Robin.
in high school back in Colorado
Springs. 1t is her last year and
she wants to graduate with
her class. So the family won't
be complete until Robin joins
her parents here in June.
Nothing New
Living out Of a suitcase
even though temporarily-is
nothing new to the Van Hou-
tens. as indeed IT isn't for most
service families. But they think
they might have established
something of a record. having
moved 43 times in the last Is
years they've been married.
Mrs. Van Houten is an Army
daughter, so she finds her
self quite equal to moving at
a moments notice. Il think
it's interesting, and a chal-
lenge to the Army wife" she
says. you Just don't expect
everything to go right. In fact.
you're more prepared for the
slip-up. It certainly is essen
tial for the service wife to be
adjustable and adaptable"
Attractive Mrs. Van Houten.
who is q petite 5-feet-3
with reddish gold hair, blue
eyes and a ready wit, is not
new to Washington. In fact.
she and Gen. Van Houten
were married in Washington
Cathedral while her father,
the late Col. Roy A. Hill, was
stationed here at the Indus
trial War College. Her mother
now lives in San Antonio.
Tex.
Mrs. Van Houten was born
in the Philippines. So when
she returned to the Islands
with Gen. Van Houten in the
1905. she says it was just like
going home again"
Same Feeling
She experienced the same
feeling when she joined her
husband in Germany after
World War II in 1916. Shed
lived in Germany once before,
as a little girl, when her father
was stationed with American
occupation troops following
World War I at Andernach-
on 1.-The Rhine.
The Van Houtens were sta
toned in Germany again in
1852, so Mrs. Van Houten has
many pleasant memories of
both tours Of duty there. They
have always liked riding
horses. hunting and fishing.
So, in the little bit of leisure
time they had on week ends
and short leaves. they had a
chance to continue these inter-
ests. 1.-The general is really
more proficient at these sports.
but love to follow along" says
Mrs. Van Houten modestly.
The new commanding gen.
erals wife said she became in
terested in the various Ger
man hunting methods. The
Van Houtens Joined many a
hunting party where the choice
ranged from beating the brush
for game to pre-dawn waiting
in tree blinds for wild boar to
hunting rabbits with trained
ferrets.
Couldn't Shoot
MY only trouble" Mrs. Van
Houten said with a laugh. lis
that when 1t came time to bag
the game, I was too fascinated
with watching to shoot"
The Van Houtens brought
back with them a short-haired

Virginia's law against racial
intermarriage withstood a chal-
lenge in 1855.
The United States Supreme
Court studied the case and then
sent it back to the Virginia SUI
preme Court-which had upheld
the law-with instructions that
the State bench was to get fur
ther evidence developed in a
trial court at Portsmouth.
The State Supreme Court,
however, said on January IS,
1856. that its rules contained NO
for such a step and
stated it was leaving intact its
ruling that a Norfolk couple
had violated the ban.
The man who fled the suit,
Ham Say Naim, a Chinese sea-
man, came back again to the
United States Supreme Court
but the high tribunal shelved the
case with a notation that the ac-
ton was devoid of a properly
presented Federal question"
In addition to banning inter-
racial marriages within the State
the law also forbids a white and
IA nonwhite from going to an
other State to be married and
then returning to Virginia
