I Jj 3R of that small, anonymous tribe re sponsible for the arrangements that put the jitter In the Jitterbug and the tremolo In the trumpet. Currently a member of the Jimmy Dorsey outfit, malting his own arrangements of hit tunes, com posing his own pieces and playing the piano, Joe has crowded an enviable career into a few years.

Arranging or playing, generally both, he has held down berths with Benny Goodman, Vincent Lopez, Paul Whiteman, Fred Waring and Bunny Berlgen. He started with Goodman when he was 19, probably the youngest arranger In the "big time" and has never been at liberty" since. A resident of Elmhurst for the past six years because "it quiet and peaceful so much like Boston" he made a precipitate entrance into New York. A call at 3 In the morning started him on his Tin Pan Alley climb. "Early one morning an old pal of mine, Georgie Bassman, arranger with Rudy Vallee, called about a vacancy in Benny Goodman's band.

He'd just heard about it and phoned immediately from New York. I suppose it was perfectly natural for New York, but a call at 3 in the morning Just isn't done in Boston. A couple of hours later I was on my way to New York In the family jaloppy." Despite his proficiency at the piano Joe says "I play after a fashion, and I hope I won't go out of fashion" neighbors of the Lippman apartment at 90-31 Whitney Ave. are unaware of the musician in their midst.

Later he became Interested in New York realty and found lt to be one of the best possible Investments, He purchased one hotel In Manhattan for $3,800,000 In 1918 and sold It six years later for $6,900,000. With the mllllolns which he amassed in mining and real estate in early life he turned to the field of charity In later years, making aid of under-privileged children and destitute old people his favorite benevolence.

Established Foundation The Heckscher Foundation, established with a fund of $4,000,000 In 1922 as a community and health center for children under 16, was one of his largest contributions to philanthropy. He also established Summer camps, to provide vacation sites for children and old people whose homes were tenement rooms and whose customary vacation grounds were city streets. Among these was the camp at Adams Cor- nears, near Peek-skill. N. equipped at a cost of $300,000 with a dental clinic, day nurseries and other ap purtenances for care of aged women and children.

He also waged a long campaign to eradicate New York's slums, and In 1924 gave $50,000 In stock to the Heckscher Trust of Huntington as a memorial to his first wife, Anna Atkins Heckscher, who died that year. The income was to be applied to the upkeep of the park, art gal lery and recreational field in Hunt ington and the surplus was to be used for the benefit of the children of the town. $170,000 for L. I. Park The Heckscher Park In Huntington is said to represent a gift of about $170,000 and the art gallery cost about $128,000.

In 1921 Heck scher donated $10,000 toward the building fund of St. Brigid's R. C. Church in this borough. In 1927 Mr.

Heckscher, whose engagement to Frieda Hempel, German operatic soprano, had been previ ously rumored, was sued in Supreme Court by the singer for alleged failure to abide by a contract she said he made with her. She alleged that the philantropist had promised to pay her $48,000 annually for the rest of her life in return for her promise to abandon her public ap pearances and to sing only and community services whenever he requested it. The singer won the suit and Mr. Heckscher was ordered to pay her $15,000 a year for the rest of her life. In an address before the mem bers of the Brooklyn Rotary Club In 1923, Mr.

Heckscher spoke on his philanthropic work, saying: "Give while you live, and while lt means some sacrifice at least. Tell your heirs what you propose to do, also what you intend doing for them. Discuss with them their views of what is generous and fair. Opposed Third Term "Until you acquire the habit of giving you will find it difficult to let go. When you have acquired the habit you will find so much inspiration in giving you will be buoyed up by so unswerving a purpose that it will become harder not to give than to give." In 1939, on his 91st birthday, Mr.

Heckscher said that he hoped that Hitler, Fiance and England would come to peaceful terms because the monetary loss of a war would be "fabulous." He paid tribute to Adolph Hitler as "the greatest man alive today." He felt that a third term for President would "ruin the nation" with the spending policy.

Took Lesions at 10 Joe started his piano lessons at 10 with an older sister, a music teacher, transferring to a member the Boston Philharmonic after year and later winding up at the New England Conservatory of Music, where he studied both piano and keyboard harmony, A comment that always raises his temperature is, No, I don't like swing; I like good music," although he has had a solid background of classical training. "That's all rot," he said. "An Intelligent person should like both. They satisfy different requirements." Another way to rile him is to ask all swing musicians drink much.

Aspire to Hollywood "They don't drink any more than any other class of people, if they drink. Mast of them are married and solidly respectable family men. Playing with a good swing band Is too exacting for a man to 'tank up' on the job." His chief ambition lies In the Hollywood hills.
