Ike, Stevenson Drive Harder This Campaign By MARVIN ARROWSMITH WASHINGTON, Oct. 13 B msident Eisenhower is scrapping hard (or a second-term victory. The. "new'V Adlal -Stevenson is waging his own kind of a "give 'em hell" campaign, up and down the land. " The reWch ef the 1952 candi dates resembles, in some respects, the pattern of four years igo. But there are some tangible contrasts. It's true that Stevenson, the Democratic -:ainee, opened up in the later phases of the '52 cam paign when Eisenhower was hit ting harder too. But this year it's a different Stevenson. It is a difference based much more deeply than his decision, aft er his March defeat in the Min nesota primary, to get out and shake a lot more hands, slap some backs, and be less of an intellec tual "egghead" a term he laugh ingly notes is still sometimes ap plied t him in talking to cam paign crowds. The basic change In Stevenson Is the conviction which prompted him to go out aad fight for the nomination this year his stated belief that President Eisenhower's Republican administration has not been good for America and the world. And there is Stevenson's contentioi, also stated publicly many times, that the President himself has failed and should be held personally responsible. From the Republica.i camp, Ei senhower has been accusing his rival of talking "wicked nonsense" of being "confused" and of mak ing "theatrical" gestures to win votes. Stevenson, the Democratic nom inre, has charged the President with consistent rejection of the positive responsibilities of leader ship, with political Iroseness and "gross misstatement." Scrap Inevitable A look at what has been hap pening since the nominating con ventions of the two major parties met in August underscores why a hammer-and-tongs scrap was in evitable. ' The President, obviously stung by Stevenson's point-blank criti cism, made a dramatic switch in tactics and started firing hack hard early in the campaign Those who know Eisenhower well had predicted he would shift gears and reply to his opponent. Declined to Answer Last month, belore the cam paign was formally under way, Eisenhower again declined to an swer Stevenson attacks on his ad ministration, including a conten tion the Republican regime had been marked by "a contagion of corruption." The President said he would leave the replies to others in his party. But he also has said many times that he never runs from a fight He soon knew he was deep in a fight and he elected to stand and do battle. Saw Ike as Hets And what of Stevenson? What of the man who reluctantly ac cepter the Democratic presiden tial nomination in 1952 the man who in that campaign regarded GOP candidate Eisenhower as a national hero pretty much im mune from personal criticism the man who four years ago had to run, to a great extent, on the record of the Truman administra tion? Ifr- debatable how much of a fac tor former President Truman's labeling of Stevenson as a "de featist" has been in development of the ' new'' Stevenson. The nom inee's aides will tell you that Slevenson determined long before the Truman attack that he would conduct a hard-hitting campaign this year. But it seems natural that Tru man's criticism at the Democratic convention served to reinforce such determination. There was evidence of that last month when in Kansas City, Mo., with Truman on the platform, Stevenson cut loose with one of his most aggres sive attacks of the campaign. It was there, with Truman beaming approval, that Stevenson accused Eisenhower of having rejected leadership responsibili ties. And he touched off a round of applause and cheers in asking: "Who in this businesman's ad minis'ration keeps the store?" Pleased Truman Truman, now campaigning for Stevenson, called it "an excellent speech right down the alley." The Eisenhower of this stage of the campaign is quite a different candidate from the one who launched his re-election bid at Gettysburg in mid-September with a low key appeal for a new GOP "crusade" without any direct mention of the opposition. But it wasn't long before the President was saying it was a "theatrical national gesture'' for Stevensoe to have suggested the military draft might be ended in the foreseeable future under terms consistent with national security. And Eisenhower at the same time swatted at the Stevenson proposal that an effort be ma-'e to suspend H-bomb tests. Next the President assailed Ste venson's farm proposals, and in another week he was hammering at the Democratic candidate from all directions. It was then he fired his "po'itical bunk" and "wicked nonsense" charges, and alluded to his rival as an "apparently con fused" candidate. Stevenson countered that Eisen hower appeared to have adopted what the Democratic nominee re ferred to as Vice-President Nix on's "pattern of political loose ness." , Meanwhile, the President long since has shelved 'his early cam paign plans for only five or six addresses, along with few stories Into strategic areas.
