Eisenhower's Backers List Coming Plans

The two student groups organized to support Eisenhower, yesterday announced plans to work on the campaign, but left it uncertain whether last spring's factionalism would prevent coordination of their election efforts this fall.

Morton Korn '57, president of the Eisenhower Club, explained that relations between his group, Students for Eisenhower, and the Harvard Young Republican Club, were "strained. In fact, that's the understatement of the year."

But William D. DeVore '57, president of students for Eishenhower, said he did not "believe any hard feeling exists" between his group and Korn's, and said he would be glad to cooperate to forestall duplication of campaign work.

Donald P. Hodel '57, president of the Young Republican Club, would make no statement on campaign plans until the HYRC executive committee meets next Monday.

Different Campaign Tactics

Last spring Korn was first president of the Students for Eisenhower. Korn resigned after the group refused to join the Political Forum, and then formed the Eisenhower Republican Club. His group dropped the word "Republican" from its name after the State G.O.P. ruled that it could not use the word.

The two groups traced different campaign approaches. DeVore's group will work with the Cambridge City G.O.P. Committee, and wants to emphasize the national ticket. He said that a conference with other pro-Eisenhower groups would be "perfectly amenable" to Students for Eisenhower. He expected to concentrate on distributing literature and posters.

Korn's group, for which he claims 50 members, will be working largely in the Tenth Congressional District with the Committee supporting the reelection of Congressman Lawrence Curtis. Korn feared obstacles to cooperation, but said that he hoped to meet with DeVore and Hodel despite any past disagreements.
