 Charles Ross, White House press secretary, disclosed that Gen. Omar N. Bradley was summoned to the conference compound Friday to discuss his new job as chief of vet erans administration with MT. Tru- man.
 Truman's Policy
 Tho presidents policy. it can be revealed, is essentially this: The United States will not pour out its tremendous material wealth with out something concrete in return. It win not undertake fresh economic burdens without some concessions From the other side.
 And MT. Truman is completely mninterested in concessions involy- Ing goods or cash-because there simply isn't any of either in Europe.
 Instead, he intends to fit the 5nited States material wealth to aane situation of the different Unit ed Nations, including Russia. And Gne best legal tender in his view of anything that will bring the war against Japan to speedy end.
 The president is veteran of one world War and is mindful of the horrors of this conflict, and his basic aim in Potsdam is to further the winning of the Pacific war.

 ROUNDUP

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. IA = one problem agitating the football minded populace is whether Don Hutson intends to make his fourth annual retirement stick. Don played for the Green Bay Packers in the All-Star game at Chicago because that was supposed to pre- sent the l944 National Football League champions but he didn't appear in last nights exhibition against the Eagles. Even his boss, Curly Lambeau, doesn't know what Huston eventually will decide and he no longer intends to coax his star performer. One reason is Clyde Goodnight, the tall boy from Tulsa U. who has taken over Illusions end post. Lampeau fairly glows when he tells how fast and how promising Goodnight looks. If Hutson is through, he will have established one more record. His first professional play was an 85-yard touchdown pass; his last an 85-yard scoring run with an intercepted pass.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept 14.-The greatest crowd ever to attend a professional football game, 90,218 persons, saw the Philadelphia Eagles defeat the champion Green Bay Packers, 28 to 21, in the Philadelphia Inquirer's charity game in Munci- cipal stadium last night.
 For the greater part of the con- test the Eagles widely outclassed the Packers and they held an apparent ly safe 28 to ' lead with less than two minutes to go. But in those two minutes the Packers capitalized on two recovered fumbles to score as many touchdowns and force the Eagles to freeze the ball in the final seconds before the gun.

 Teller suffered his second set- back to three wins since his dis charge from the Navy, when the Mats scored three times in a fourth inning rally capped by Rookie Bingo Bink'S double.
