0LYLAND SUBJECT IN
 CAMPAIGN
Presidential Candid ates Charge Eaeh Other with
 Playing Politics
(By The Associated Press)


 The presidential campaign hit the stretch drive today with Presi- dent Truman and his Republican opposition accusing each other of playing politics with Palestine.
 Shortly before he set out for Chicago and the first of final series of big city speeches, MT. Truman last night declared his support of the original United Ma tions plan to partition the Hold Land, subject only to changes ap- proved by the new Jewish state of Israel
 In a statement which White House Press Secretary Charles G. Ross said had been cleared with the State Department" the Presi- dent also asserted that he has or dered swift study of Israels ap- plication for an American loan.
 MT Truman said he had been forced to 'reiterate my own posi- tion" because Gov. Thomas E. Dewey had seen fit" to speak out on the subject last week.
 No Rejoiner, Dewey
 The COP presidential nominee who also takes to the road tonight for his campaign windup-offered no immediate rejOiner.
 But campaign manager Herbert Brownell, Jr.. said Dewey simply had complied with request that he re-state his support of the Re- publican platform plank in favor of partition. Brownell added:
 Tt is regrettable that the Pres ident. is making politics of an issue so important to the peace of the world"
 Ross statement that Mir. Tru- mans statement had been cleared by the State Department followed period of uncertainty over how it squared with Secretary of State Marshalls stand.
 Marshall last month gave his approval at the U. N. meeting in Paris to proposal for modifying the 1947 partition plan. The sug- gested changes-drafted by the late Count Bernadotte, U N. mediator in Palestine-came under strong Jewish criticism.
 Swings At Dewey
 MT. Truman spent IA hours back at the White House yesterday af- ter his Pennsylvania swing, cli- maxed by Pittsburgh speech Saturday night. The President lik- ened Dewey there to a doctor who says the American people need a major operation even though they the Telling fine and never had a brighter future"
 Dewey's aides said he will close his campaign by holding to his theme that Republican victory would be unifying influence for the country.
