Norman H. Davis, it was learned tc
d&y, has declined an unoflcial bid to
preside at the Brussels conference
on the Chinese -Japanese conflict.
Davis, head of the American dele
gation to the conference opening to
morrow, declined, with thanks, the
offer to make htm president.
Stanley M. Bruce of Australia, who
presided at the conference In Mont
reaux, Switzerland, In 1036, which
gave Turkey the right to rearm the
Dardanelles, was mentioned as a pos
sible choice. "Some Scandinavian dele
gate may also be considered.
After a conference today between
British and United States delegates,
a British spokesman told the Asso
ciated Press the chief objective of the
two delegations was to follow a com
mon policy.
This, It was Indicated, would con
centrate upon a conciliatory effort
designed to stop the Chinese-Japanese
conflict. If this falls, the next step
would have to b determined of pub
lic opinion In Great Britain and the
United States.
A movement was under way today
to give Japan another chance to par
ticipate In the conference.
Several delegations indicated they
favor sending another Invitation- to
Tokyo after the conference starts to
morrow. (Japan rejected the original Invi
tation on the ground that the con
ference was Inspired by the League
of Nations, which already had con
demned Japanese military action In
China,)
The problem of controlling motor
car and pedestrian traffic at fires
was studied at a meeting of volun
teer firemen In headquarters last
night and a squad was appointed by
Chief Roy Elliott to supervise crowds
at all general alarm fires.
Clyde Fichtner, city police traffic
officer, was named captain of the
squad. Other volunteers appointed
to the policing duties were Ray Mc
Donald, Robert Nichols, Ray Marks
and Roy McConochle.
Appointment of a traffic control
squad was found necessary to avert
hampering firemen In their work and
to eliminate dangers when specta
tors are not supervised at fires, the
chief explained.
Plans were carried forward last
night for the annual (tremens char
ity ball on Thanksgiving night and
committees were appointed to handle
the event. It was voted to engage
Whipple's orchestra for the affair.

week.
