Present plans are to stage a big parade in honor of the Chief Executive and to try to have as large a crowd as has been turning out to see the President in other parts of the nation. Many Sullivan County Democrats are planning to lie in -Terre Haute for his appearance and for the parade. .,

By John L. Cutter United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Oct. 29. (UP) President Truman campaigned up and down metropolitan New York today in a last ditch fight with Gov. Thomas E. Dewey for the biggest bloc of electoral votes in the nation. ' The President's schedule ran from traditionally Repub lican Westchester County on thp north to overwhelmingly Democratic Brooklyn on the south.

. It included stops along the route in the Bronx and Harlem where the third party candidacy of Henry A. Wallace threatens to eat into the Democratic party's usually top-heavy margin in the metropolitan area. Mr. Truman can't afford much Wallace inroad if the metropolitan area is to overcome the usual upstate GOP majority to capture New York state's 47 electoral votes, the biggest prize of the Presidential election. The Brooklyn speech tonight winds up the President's second day of practically pounding the sidewalks of New York. He is expected to devote it to a discussion of his administration's foreigrt policy. Big Crowds. He was considerably heartened by the size of the crowds which turned out to greet him upon his arrival late yesterday and cheer his needling attacks on Dewey. w Police estimated that , at - least 1 J ,800,000 New Yorkers 'saw the thief Executive during a two-ilKouri""cbnfetti-blankelecr "'' swing through lower Manhattan and on the way to and from his major speech in Madison Square Garden in the evening. In his prepared text he compared the GOP candidate with a "little shadow" In the nursery rhyme which goes: "I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me, and what can be the use of him is more than I can see." He omitted it during the actual delivery. White House aides said he did it to save time. The President pulled no punches in reference to Dewey in some of his other New York speeches, however, He told a crowd including many payrollers in front of City Hall that Dewey "doesn't know what it's all about." In his Madison Square Garden speech he referred to Dewey as a "second hand candidate" because this is his second run as GOP nominee. He also told the evening rally that he still supports the Democratic pledge of a , "prosperous, free and independent democratic state" for the Jewish people in Palestine. ' Mr. Truman has scheduled a major winduD speech Saturday night in St. Louis. He will spend Sunday at his home in Independence. Mo., make a get-out-the-yote broadcast from there on election eve and vote there early Tuesday.

"In 1946. only about one out of every three persons eligible to vote went to the polls. The great majority of Americans, therefore, did not discharge their solemn privilege.
