"bog of conflicting scientific opinion upon the effects of in-
terracial marriage, and the desirability of preventing such
alliances, from the physical , biological, genetic, anthropo-
logical, cultural, psychological, and sociological point of
view." Brieffor Appellee in Loving v. Virginia, O. T. 1966,
