Hopes to See Many Social

Witl,ir, Fetu Years. !
~ the Associated Press,

~ the Associated Press.
PASADENA, Calf, Sept. 20.-
Slender. mild-mannered Upton Sin.
clair celebrates his o0th birthday an
niversary today with the publica ton
Of his sixtieth book, 4 novel entitled
Little Steel"
A prophet Of social justice for more
than 80 years, Mr.. Sinclair has become
= sort Of literary "Old Man River"
He keeps rolling along. Lincoln stef-
fens and Jack London are gone. as are
others Of the historic so-called muck
raking" school. They have turned to
less controversial endeavors. But Mr..
Sinclair, no longer a "muckraker" in
the old sense, is still q critic of the
existing order.
Publishers notes indicate there have
been Transitions and foreign editions
Of Mr.. Sinclair's works in ~ languages
and 80 countries, totaling 772 titles.
Mr.. Sinclair believes no living writer
can approach this record.
Placid-faced and smiling 1t the tide
Of history that has borne out many Of
his objectives and predictions, Mr.. Sin
clair lives in semi-retirement in a spa
cious, rambling one-story house. In
this environment, he has written eight
books and three plays since 1894, when
he ran close race for Governor Of
California on the EPIC ticket.
Mr.. Sinclair still believes his guber-
material plan Of production-for- use for
the unemployed may be adopted ma
tionally before he stops writing.
After losing the Governor race Mr..
Sinclair began writing again to pay
on campaign debts. Besides books
and plays published since then, he has
written numerous sketches for maga-
zines and newspapers and made two
lecture tours totaling 10000 miles.
Mr.. Sinclair recalled that many
things he advocated years ago against
cries OF radical" have now been en-
acted into law. He mentioned old-age
pensions, unemployment insurance,
income and inheritance taxes and the
Wagner Labor Act.
I may even see production for use
before I get through writing" he said.
Mr.. Sinclair writes or dictates speedi-
ly from . am. to noon, then takes a
walk to null over what he will write
the next day.

A dance Tor WHICH Jimmy DOr-
sey and his orchestra will play,
will be held Wednesday night
in the city gymnasium, and is
expected to draw a large crowd.
Dorsey's rise to the top of the
ladder is said to be one of the
most rapid in band history.
Just three years ago, the Dorsey
orchestra played its first engage
ment at the exclusive Sands Point
Bath club, a private club on the
north shore of Long Island, and
scored such an immediate hit that
NBC asked the governors of the
club, who had never permitted any
of their name bands to broadcast,
to let them run a wire in. The
band broadcast from Sands Point
all summer, and when it had a
three-day layoff between this re-
sort and their next job, Ben Har-
den's Riviera in New Jersey, NBC
had them come into the Radio City
studios to continue their sustain
ings, so the series would be UNI
broken.
From the fashionable Riviera
the Dorsey aggregation moved
without missing a day to Ben Mar
den's Palais Royal on Broadway,
then played dances at colleges,
universities and bathrooms every
night for four months. 1t opened
the next summer at the Glen Is
land casino in Westchester, where
it followed the Casa Iona band
and scored as big a hit. '-
After Glen island closed for the
season, Jimmy Dorsey and his or.
chestra played theatres and
dances all the way out to the
coast, to open with Bing Crosby
on the radio. Bing insisted on
Jimmy's band, and got it, and it
was hear don the program every
Thursday night for nearly two
years. While on the coast for
this program, Jimmy and the band
also doubled into such popular
spots as the famous Palomar and
Sebastian's Cotton club, and
played the musical scores of such
pictures as Lily Pons' "That Girl
From Paris" and Fred Astairc's
"Shall We Dance"
