Steven.son. In the Republican camp, Eisenhower the amateur has Mir. rounded himself with profcssioml politicians wise In the nys of running a national campaign. In the Democratic cunip, Steven- gathering more men regarded us amateurs on the national politic il scene. One of Sharp Contrast This development is only one of a number of -sharp comm-sla in the manner in which Eisenhower and Stevenson have approached their widely different problems.

These contrasts point 1131 tho difference in personality, bjickKiomut, training and temperament of these two ilistingwshc.il men who will lead their parties into the November election fight. Ike Was Disappitntcd Let's tnke p. look nt Eisenhower's first dnys ns a political campaigner: The retired general, early In June, shed his uniform nnd went back home to Abilene, to make his first major speech. The Abilene show, it is well known, was a disappointment to most of Eisenhower's supporters. Eisenhower was disappointed too.

So a few days Inter in Detroit he threw awny his prepared speech and talked in the way ho wanted to talk. Then ho went to Dnnver to open his headquarters at the Brown Palace Hotel- There were many amateurs ground that early headquarters. There wns no doubt among: those watching that Elsenhower was fueling his way in a strange world. Eisenfiower made it ctcnr he fe leaving the political to men who had years of experience in this field nnd he made it clear. too, that he was going to work I through the regular Republican party organization.

Stevenson Talks Halted To reporters. Eisenhower appeared to be at his best in (minil groups. Then tho Eisenhower charm exerted itself. On'the other side, Stevenson has demoiist a ted he knows his ay through tho political forest. He htis moved adroitly and with the precision of a smooth professional in Stevenson's first speech accepting the Democratic nomination hailed hy his supporters a literary Bom.

They thought it was so that re-prints anrl re- Imve been made, The first move of importance Stevemoji made was to -sfiift control of his campaign from the ncnuH-rntic National Committee, lie nanieci Ills own cRiupaif-in man- Wyntt of Louisville drew tiway from the old-line party leaders rather than moving toward them. Then he succeeded in fretting an- oiliiT "amateur lawyer Mitchell approved as the new Democratic National Committee chairman. Ana In he took a firmer grasp on his own campaign maneuvers and strategy. Unlike Eisenhower, Stevenson has the political adroitness to "I don't know" in several ways. For example, when a reporter recently asked him a question on a technical point in the reciprocal trades program, his reply wtta not "I don't "I'll have to bo educated on that.

0 rt's a small point but it does reveal the difference in the political foot-work of the two al this early slaan. There is some doubt being voiced that the "amateurs around Stevenson have? enough experience for a national campaign. But Stevenson shows no signs of being worried about thi.s.
