Since his nomination the door has been locked to all but author ized callers who have been des cending on Springfield, 111. The Illinois governor is a cheer ful man —sometimes puckish—with a quick wit and a reputation for phrase-making, but he can be ruth'ess when the occasion de mands. Stevenson, who is five, nine and weighs 185, tries to keep his waist line under control with an occas ional game of tennis, which he plays better than most men of 52. He usually loses, however, when he js matched against his adminis trative assistant, William M Blair Jr., who has '“Won the Springfield city tennis championship for the last two years. SECLUDED LIFE A divorced man, Stevenson lives a somewhat secluded life in the 96-year-old, rambling, white brick Illinois executive mansion.

Speaking to a mid-town audience estimated by police at more than 10,000 persons, Stevenson took note for the first time of Republican criticism for being a “funny man.” “A lot of people say I’m not serious enough," he said. "If I was wedded to some of the folks they are I couldn’t be humorous either.” He did not elaborate on his New York-Munich crack, but it was an oblique reference to his frequent statements that the alignment be tween Dwight D. Eisenhower and Sen. Robert A. Taft (R-O)., consti tuted a “surrender.” BENTON HEADS RECEPTION Stevenson will speak on atomic energy tonight at Hartford.

Some of the 1,800 planes con verted to guided missiles are cap able of delivering the atomic bomb, Kurtz said. MAY TAKE OVER AIR “It is just a question of time until the guided missiles take over aerial war,” he said. “They can be refueled in the air, making con tinent-to-continent warfare poss ible.” This correspondent saw the mis siles in action aeainst the enemy on the carrier Boxer In Korean waters several days ago, when an enemy target was successfully de stroyed by a robot. It was lU(p watchinu the war of the future.
