SINCLAIR
LOVED THE
LIMELIGHT

By ROD CURRIE

(Canadian Press

In his 1930s heyday, Gordon Sinclair could draw a
crowd of 10,000 to see him off on one of his globe-trotting
assignments as a Toronto Star roving reporter.

Probably no Canadian media star ever matched his
highly manipulated public image.

According to one of the Star's accounts, 3,000 people
once crammed into Massey Hall for a much-advertised
party, thousands more milled outside hoping for a
glimpse of Sinclair in his pith helmet and hundreds
flocked to Union Station to wave him off,on, a romantic
~writing: trip to. the South.Seas.

‘The public rarely saw Sinclair's darker side — asa
man who suffered frequent bouts of depression, was a
tyrant at home and had a string of sexual affairs,
including a long relationship with his children’s baby-
sitter.

Sinclair loved the limelight — as Star reporter,
longtime Toronto radio broadcaster and “resident
curmudgeon” on TV's Front Page Challenge — and the
fame and fortune it brought.

The story of the man many Canadians loved, hated or
loved to hate is told, warts and all, in Gordon Sinclair: A
life . . . And Then Some, by Toronto journalist Scott
Young. Published this month by Macmillan of Canada, it
sells for $19.95.

Although Young betrays a certain chumminess with
his subject and often refers to Sinclair's questionable

books, he still manages to take an
objective view of his subject, exposing a variety of chinks
and falsehoods in the Sinclair legend.

Sinclair, who died a few weeks short of his 84th
birthday in 1984, was born poor in east-end Toronto, got a
Grade 8 education, worked ata number of clerking jobs
and then got hired by the Star.

In his turbulent career there — he said he was fired
six times — he languished unnoticed for seven years until
he joined a band of Depression-era hoboes and wrote a
gritty, evocative series about their lives in his zingy,
slangy style.

He went from unknown reporter to celebrity almost
overnight.

Sinclair made a lot of mistakes in his newspaper
copy. When challenged, he always protested that even if
he got a few facts wrong he got the story right.

Sinclair knew what the people wanted and he gave it
to them with pizzazz, churning out personalized stories of
adventure and danger in exotic lands under such blazing
headlines as: Starving Woman Dies in Arms of Star
Reporter; Chinese Girls of 14 Sold into Slavery for 50
Cents; or Throw Away 59 Corpses a Day Near Shanghai.

The hobo series led to assignments in India, Asia,
Europe and Africa, and interviews with such figures as
Adolf. Hitler,-Grete Garbo. and Mahatma Gandhi.

HURTS FAMILY

His travels, and demands on him for public
appearances, had a terrible effect on his family life.

Fights with his wife, Gladys, became routine and
relations with his three sons were strained. Sinclair said
he missed his family when away but couldn't fit into their
orderly routine when he returned.

Gord, the eldest son, recalled frequent dinner-time
screaming matches and said the kids wouldn't dare admit
to being sick because “he wouldn't tolerate it.”

His affairs, notably with the flamboyant Ontario-
born evangelist Aimee Semple MacPherson, made family
matters worse.

A great tragedy of his life was the Christmastime
death of his only daughter, Jean, aged 11.

This turned him against the medical profession and
fired his opposition to organized religion — two subjects
that always brought lots of letters when he wrote or
broadcast about them in his stinging style.

SUPPORT DO

TORONTO (CP) — The number of people supporting
some sort of free-trade agreement with the United States
has slipped to its lowest level in 9‘ years, actording to
poll published today.

Meanwhile, the number of those uncertain about the
benefits of such an accord has climbed to a high, pve ee
poll by the Toronto Globe and Mail and Environics Re-
search Group Ltd.

Forty-nine per cent of those uated support the
idea of free trade, a drop of seven percentage points since
June. Thirty-four per cent oppose it, the same number as
in the June survey,

7 per cent are
percentage points,

The poll also points to divisions within the three
major political parties that could cause problems for their
leaders.

New Democratic Party Leader Ed Broadbent has
promised to scuttle the agreement, reached Oct. 3, and
has also said he's firmly to any free-trade deal.
But the survey indicates 41 per cent of NDP supporters
favor free trade while 45 per cent oppose it.

Free-trade goes fast

OTTAWA (CP) — The federal government wants to

committee before the ink is barely dry on the final legal draft
of the agreement, opposition leaders said Tuesday.

sometime in November.

And NDP Leader Ed Broadb said tl

“What is imperative is that we do the best we can on the
principles of the free-trade agreement as it is now tabled.”
In the Commons, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney said
the légal text will be submitted as soon as it's ready. The
government had originally said the text would be finished by
late October.

But now officials say it won't be ready until as late as

On Monday, the Conservative-dominated external

by mid-December even though lawyers are still working on
legal language of the Canada-U.S. deal struck Oct. 3.

All that’s been made public so far is a general summary
of the principles of the agreement.

Marc Lortie, Mulroney's press secretary, said the delay
was simply due to the complexities of the legal language and
not because of any snags in the agreement.

It's expected the final document might be as long as
2,000 pages.

Mutreecy said the lack of formal text hasn't hindered
debate on the deal. Provincial committees in several
provinces have already launched public hearings.
