William Wattison (Willie) Hor-
ton, 20-year-old, $4,000 bonus
slugging outfield prospect is max
ing a determined bid to move
up from our Detroit Tigers Du-
luth Class c team in the North
ern League to the top farm
team Syracuse of the Class AAA
international League.
Willie was 18 and a Detroit
sandlot and Northwestern High
School when he was signed
by the Tigers to a minor league
contract in 1861 by Vice Presi-
dent James A. Campbell and
Scouting Supervisor Louis D. An
nunziO.
Willie, a husky Sill, 100, who
bats and throws right-handed, was
playing with three Detroit anna
teur teams and hitting more
than 400 for all of them. His
best average was .448 for Brown
in the Free Press League, he
held .405 average for, the same
team in the Detroit Amateur
Baseball Federation. He hit sew
en- home runs and posted 25
RIBS on a total of 66 times at
bat in the two leagues.
While at Northwestern, he was
a teammate of Matt Snorton now
attending Michigan State .Univer-
sity. He was the big man in the
Colts drive to the prep champ
ionship in 1859. In the title game,
played at Tiger Stadium, he
blasted a home run into the right
center pavilion near the bleach
Ell section, Willie was only 16 at
that time.
While 10 other major league
teams were seeking his service.
Damon }. Keith, Detroit attorney,
who had been appointed Horizons
legal guardian, because of family
circumstances by Probate Judge
Ira Kaufman, accepted the Tigers
offer.
Horton, who was born Oct. Is,
1912, at Arno, Virginia, is one
of IA children. His parents are:
Mr.. and Mrs. Clinton Horton.
Willie resides in Detroit, and is
now married TO the former Patri-
cia Strickland, they have one child
Daryl Williams.
"He'll have to play his way
off my team," says Syracuse
Manager Bob Swift, former Tig-
er catcher, coach and scout. His
chances Of making the big jump
are pretty good"
Horton, an expensive bonus
chattel in the Tigers organiza-
tion, spent about three weeks
with the Syracuse club at Tiger
town. After opening spring train
ing with the Tigers themselves,
he volunteered to return to the
minor league base to receive in
tensive instruction and more play
ing time before the season opens.

300 for our club" Swift said,
land he has shown good power.
I'm a couple Of our games, he
drove across the key runs and
he's going to be a great hitter.
You can see that.

Nosser and Unity

PRESIDENT NaSSer has been received
In the city Of Algiers not only with
great pomp, but also with apparent
enthusiasm among the crowds lining
the streets. Certainly the cookies of
his heart must have been warmed by
Premier Ben Bella's welcoming assertion
that Algeria hopes to become a member
of the Arab union, or federation, which
the Egyptian leader Is supposed to
establish with Syria and Iraq in the
next two years or so.
But Mr.. Nasser's triumphal Algerian
visit has been marred by some inhar-
monious background noises. They have
come from Damascus, where several
Nasserite members of the Syrian gov
ernment and the National Council of
the Revolutionary Command are re-
ported to have resigned under pressure
brought against them by the Ba'ath
Socialist Party. This party Is said to
be in control Of the country. If so, the
Egyptian President-a hero constantly
striving to find heroic role to play
is likely to run into some very rough
weather as he tries to organize a
truly effective and viable United Arab
Republic
The prospect here is governed by a
great complex Of factors. One of these,
Of course, wholly apart from worried
Israel, is that King Hussein's Jordan
and King Saud's Saudi Arabia look
with the gravest rnisgiving on the pos
sibility OF an Arab coalition under the
hegemony Of Cairo, or Mr.. Nasser per-
sonally. The same feeling, II for diff
ferent reasons, accounts for the Ba'ath
leaders attitude in Damascus. They
want a pan-Arab sort Of world, but
they do not want to shape themselves
In the image and likeness Of the Egyp-
tian President. Nor do they favor the
idea OF having imposed upon them the
type Of Cairo-based one-party rule that
he advocates. In many respects, they
seem to favor much more liberal type
Of parliamentary government for what
ever Arabic federation may develop.
Presumably their counterparts in Iraq
feel the same way.
SO, In sum, 1t would seem that Mr..
Nasser, despite the current ovations
in Algeria, still has long way to go
before he can hope to achieve a genuine
Arab federation or unificaticn.

Per Jacobson

The death OF Per Jacobson has
UNDERSTANDABLE saddened, and in its own
way diminished, the financial commu-
nifty Of the free world. He was one Of
the outstanding economists Of our time,
but never dull or doctrinaire. On the
contrary, he had wide-ranging interests
and fine sense of humor. Indeed, as
if in rebellion against some Of the dry
as-duSt aspects Of his statistic-ridden
profession, he co-authored, on the side,
a couple Of mystery stories successful
enough to be made into movies.
But Mr.. Jacobson, a Swede, will be
remembered in history, and praised,
chiefly for the contribution he made as
managing director of the international
Monetary Fund In that capacity, and
in lesser Jobs before 1t, he offered wise
counsel and direct aid to scores Of coun-
tries belonging to the 84-nation INF.
1t is doubtful that anybody did more to
help check initiation, stabilize currencies
and promote global economic progress
in the years that have passed since the
Second World War.
Although he was willing to expert
ment In dealing with some national
economic emergencies (as in Latin
America), Mr.. Jacobson was essentially
a conservative who believed in cautious,
orthodox national fiscal policies. Some
months ago, for example, he said that
he thought the United States could
stand moderate deficit, "but Of course
II 1t goes beyond what one regards as
the proportion that could be financed
without initiation, then people would be
nervous" And more recently he had
this to say:
Looking back through history. those
countries which have maintained stable
monetary conditions -. have derived dis
tinct advantages from such an achievement.
80. on the other hand. there are many coun-
tries in which. through initiation and other
WISE the public has lost in one or two gener-
ations well-nigh all OF It's assets expressed In
money. Those countries have TO live down
calamities which may for years TO come have
an effect on public confidence and people S
behavior in relation 10 capital,
Throughout most of his adult life,
Mr.. Jacobson gave advice well designed
TO avert such calamities, and those who
paid attention to him profited from his
words. He was a good international
public servant who will be sorely missed
in the circles that knew him best.

with whom Mr.. Rockefeller ordinarily
would win no popularity contest. Yet
all he had to do was to get steamed up
about Cuba and the roof fell in. We
suspect, however, that in the cold light
Of day, and on second reading, there
were quite few sheepiSh after-thoughtS
by the cheer leaders.
With a perfectly straight face, Mr.
Rockefeller said President Kennedy
should demand reciprocation from So
Wet Premier Khrushchev for discourage
ing raids by Cuban exiles on the island.
And furthermore, Mr. Kennedy should
tell Mr.. Khrushchev that, II he con-
tinues to train saboteurs and subversion-
lists in Cuba, I'VE will be forced to take
drastic action" What drastic action?
He didn't say.
We suspect Mr.. Rockefeller has
learned that nothing brings down the
house these days like rouSing cries for
tough action in Cuba. Unfortunately,
this tough action is never really spelled
out And, still unfortunately, the elec-
tion is long way off.
