Girls Staters In Full Swing; Henkle to Speak
The 18th annual session of Sunflower Girls State opened Sunday on the University campus with 375 Kansas high school girls participating.
The delegates to the annual week of government training sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary will be seniors in high school in the fall.
The delegates have held their first party caucuses, have received instruction in precinct organizations and forms of city government, and have elected city officials.
Lt. Gov. Joseph W. Henkle will deliver the major address at the Girls State governor's inauguration Thursday night.
The session is designed to acquaint the girls with the workings of city, county, state and national governments. The participants will campaign for various offices, will attend classes on several phases of government and will listen to guest lecturers.
Ann Leffler of Pittsburg, the 1959 Girls State governor, will preside at the meetings until the new governor takes office.
Petitions for nominations for state offices were due last night. The girls were instructed yesterday in political parties and county government, and held county and city meetings.
PARIS — (UPI) — Israeli Premier David Ben-Gurion arrived in Paris for an official visit yesterday amid speculation that France might act as a mediator between Israel and Argentina in the case of Adolph Fichmann.
Ben-Gurion is scheduled to confer with De Gaulle today. It will mark the first time the two leaders have met.
The primary election for state offices will be held today and the general election tomorrow.
Ben-Gurion warmly praised President Charles de Gaulle and the ties of friendship linking Israel and France in an arrival statement shortly after his El Al Airlines plane landed at Orly Field.
One of the subjects expected to come up in their talks is the Israeli-Argentine controversy over the Israeli capture of Eichmann, former Nazi S. S. colonel accused of responsibility for the murders of millions of Jews in Hitler Germany.
There was some speculation that the French might play the role of possible mediator between the two countries, in view of the fact that Argentine President Arturo Frondizi is scheduled to visit France next week.
Mrs. Mills Hollis of Great Bend once again is the director of the session. Mrs. Lucille Hayden of Sedgwick, Auxiliary Department president, is acting as official hostess.
French Peace Role Suggested
The girls are being housed in Joseph R. Pearson dormitory.
TIME FOR SUMMER SCHOOL?-No, just a Girls Stater and her mother moving in belongings for a week's stay at the University. But this high school student typifies the activity on campus over the weekend.

Alumni Board Names Three
The election of John E. Buehler of Atchison, Stanley H. Stauffer of Topeka and Frank N. Warren of Emperia to 5-year terms on the board of directors of the University of Kansas Alumni Association was announced at the annual meeting June 5.
They were chosen from among seven nominees in a mail vote by paid members of the Association.
Arthur H. "Red" Cromb of Mission Hills, the retiring president, presided at the meeting and turned the office over to Dale W. Maxwell of Columbus, who had earlier been chosen president by the board of directors. Richard A. Barber of Lawrence becomes the new vice president succeeding Herbert F. Laing of Topeka. Retiring directors are Mrs. Toddy Haines Barteldes of Lawrence and Chester Mize Jr. of Atchison.
Cromb as retiring president automatically becomes a member of the board.
Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the association, reported that paid membership reached an all-time high of 13,399, a gain of 438. This is believed to be the largest at any Big Eight conference school. He pointed to the importance of life memberships, which number 3,094, up 203 in the year. Another 1,536 members are making installment payments on life memberships, thus committing nearly 35 per cent of the membership to this plan.
The Alumni office in the past year assisted in planning 70 meetings throughout Kansas and the nation. President Cromb attended 21.
The annual report showed that the association's expenses for the year ending May 26 were $84,235.56, including all costs of publishing the Alumni Magazine. Assets total $144,-628.92, including the life membership reserve fund of $123,700.86.
