Beat Armour at II.

X OCSIS has been known for years
mainly because he beat Tommy
Armour in a play-off for the Michi-
gan open title when he was II years
old, but at Baltusrol the boys were
talking about his swing and forgetting
his record.
He was in fourth place going into
the last round of the open, with
total Of ZIG, but he slipped on the last
round to II and finished with a total
Of 293. Nevertheless. this gave him
two-shot lead over Johnny Goodman
Of Omaha, the next amateur in line.
Kocsis is a very dour young man,
with a ski-jump nose and thinning
hair. He has Hagen's height and

leading Michigan's interference is one

LE HAVRE TIED UP
ASSTR|KE GROWS
Dock Workers Join 10000
Who Walk Out in lille
Textile District.
Ey the Associated Press.

PARIS, September 9-The entire
port of LIE Havre was tied up today
as a new epidemic of strikes spread
through France.
All activity ceased when dock work.
ers quit in midafternoon, joining the
10000 men and women who struck
earlier in the great Lille textile region.
The textile strike was the largest to
date in the new movement, with the ex-
ception of a one-hour metal workers
walkout in Paris Monday, when more
than 200,000 men dropped their tools
in protest against the governments
refusal to aid Madrid in its civil
war against Fascist rebellion.
At Lille, the workers occupied the
mills and demanded a 10 per cent
wage increase. The dispute also in
volved the election of workers dele
gates.
Labor Holds Balance.
Meanwhile the future of French
neutrality in the Spanish civil war
lay concealed today in a carefully
guarded pronouncement by officials
of the General Confederation of Labor.
French workers, whose demands of
"arrns and planes for Spain" have
already started a series of occupa-
tional strikes, looked ahead to the
statement by the Administrative Com
mittee of the federation. The declar-
alton was expected to be made public
today.
If the pronouncement should throw
labor's support to Communists clamor-
ing for strikes to force revision of the
governments non-intervention policy,
the cabinet of Premier Leon Blum
would be plunged into a critical stu
alton, observers declared.
Many believed, however, the fedora
ton, which claims membership of s.
100000, would not seek to upset the
Peoples Front government, at present
at least, although Leon Jouhaux
Labor League president, is known to
favor assistance to the Socialist Mad
rid administration.
$4,000 Out in Marseille.
On the strike front $4,000 workers
laid down their tools in factories in
and near Marseille after voicing a
double demand-revision of the neu-
trality policy and speedier application
of the 40-hour week voted by the
French Parliament.
Rightists attacked the government
for permitting the occupation of fac
tories despite assurance it would no
longer be tolerated"
Communists continued their de-
mands for Spanish Intervention, with
new warnings that a Fascist victory in
Spain would lead to a Fascist coup in
France. The Extreme Leftists charged
French Rightists in Oran, Algeria,
with possessing 500 machine guns.

TOXIC PLAN SEEN
PACT VIOLATION
Swanson Expresses View
on Retaining of 1888
Tons of Submarines.
(See BROWN, Page A-5.)
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Secretary Swanson asserted today
that japanese plans to retain 1888
tons of over-age submarines would in
volve "a violation" of the London
naval treaty.
In the first official comment on
Japanese proposals to retain subma-
rines partly to compensate for de-
stroyers to be retained by Great Brit
ain, the Navy chief said nothing
would be done by the United States
until we know definitely that they
are going to do it."
At the same time. Swanson an
nounced that the feet would hold its
maneuvers in the North Pacific and
Hawaiian waters during May and
early June, 1887.
Last Years Maneuvers.
Maneuvers last year were held of
the western end Of the Panama Canal
and the year before in the neighbor-
hood of the Aleutian Islands.
Swanson, who returned to his Office
yesterday after a long illness, also
said that plans for two proposed new
battleships were ready and that con-
struction could start "at a moments
notice"
Admiral William H. Standley, chief
Of operations and acting Secretary
during Swanson's illness, joined in to
say that if the Japanese did not agree
to 14-inch guns by April l, 1887, "the
sky is the limit" for the warships'
heavy armament.
London Treaty Terms.
Under the London treaty, which set
up equal strength in submarines OF
52,700 tons for the United States,
Great Britain and Japan, Great Brit
ain has invoked the escalator clause
to retain 10000 tons of over-age de-
stroyers. The Japanese were author
lied to retain $4,000 tons Of destroy
ers, but recently served notice that
they would keep 1888 tons Of SUBJ
marines and fill out their quota with
destroyers.
AS an alternative, Swanson said
Eve might retain some of our de-
stroyers."
This, he said, would not be vio-
lation of the treaty" because of Great
Britain's action.
In response to questions, Swanson
said he opposed the establishment of
European squadron because II don't
think we ought to get mixed up in
complicated European matters"
