With the affairs of their own state out of the way. boys put on their marching shoes, paint up banners and flags, and march the long lour miles from their campus headquarters to the state capitol building in Lansing.

The elected state officials of Boys' State move right into the real capitol building to displace their elder counterparts. The boys take over the state of Michigan, for the afternoon.

June 1 Iff) Officials of Oxford university moved today to stamp out the time-honored student diversion of roof-climbing by night after 22- year-old Alexander S.

Godfrey fell to his death. Godfrey's "body was found early yesterday lying beside Radcliffe Camera, a campus building known to student climbers as "the Oxford Matterhorn." Wrapped around his waist was a climbing rope. A light ning rod which broke away.from a sheer 160-foot wail apparently caused him to lose his footing. The building is so difficult to climb that a ragged, unidentifiable garment tied to a spire at the top years ago has never been removed. Stirred by soring weather, stu dents recently have scaled several other tall buildings by night At the Indian institute a bicycle was hung on a weathervane.

Sir Maurice Bowra. vice-chan cellor of the university, said he had 'no desire to curb the adventurous spirit of undergraduates, but strong action will have to be taken to prevent a repetition of what has occurred."

Free Schooling Would End For Korean Veterans Hannah Eyes Plan WASHINGTON, June 1 UP) The government is considering declaring the Korean war at an end as far as key veterans' benefits are concerned. The main effect would be to cut off further entitlement to the free four-year college educations now available under the so-called Korean G. bill of rights to draftees who spend two years in uniform. Instead, as an incentive to voluntary long-term enlistments some such educational benefit would be provided for men who sign up for military terms of four or more years. John A.

Hannah, assistant defense secretary, is understood to have made the proposal as part of a new military recruitment and re serve plan that also calls for Inauguration of a modified form of universal military training. Hannah's plan Is being studied by government agencies for possible submission to congress. A move to end further acquisition of free school entitlement under the Korean G. bill is developing also in congress. Rep.

Olin E. Teaeue (D-Texas). ranking Democratic member of the house veterans committee, has been sounding out veterans organ izations, scnooi oniciais ana government agencies on when they think this should be done. Teague fathered the Korean G.L bill, which was patterned after the World War G. bill under which the government so far has educated 7300,000 World War II veterans about half of all who served and which has cost so far about $14,000,000,000.

Other benefits under both World War II and Korean G. bills include home loan guarantees and special unemployment insurance. Under the current law veterans also collect mustering out pay of $100, $200 or $300. 71 to Get Diplomas St. Mary High School to Hold Graduation Rites Sunday Evening Seventy-one seniors from St.
