C That humble beginning started jjlrs. Golda Myerson, now 58, on tjie long career climaxed by her appointment as Israel's new for eign minister this week. She suc ceeded Moshe Sharett. whose mod erate views did not jibe with 'Premier Ben-Gurion's plans. 3 For most of her life she has balanced hcadwork with hand work. t' Born In Kiev J She was born May 3, 1898, in Kiev, Ukraine, the daughter of a Russian Jewish carpenter. Eight i Jears later her family joined thousands of other Jews fleeing fto"roms and oppression. ;Thc family named Mnhovitz 4r settled in Milwaukee. Golda attended primary and high schools tnd graduated from a teachers' (raining college.

She changed it from a tiado union into an all-round en terprise which in time embraced dozens of organizations. They in cluded unions of both workers iniri consumers, and cultural and Ifclfarc groups. jj Politics was the next logical jiep. The Mapai (labor) parly i sfrnt her as a delegate to the World Zionist Congress. A year j later she represented Palestine Workers at the British empire j IJbor conference, persuading Brit- 4in's Labor government to ease a6me of the restrictions on Zionist! laborers. I (.In 1!H8 she began what she hoped would be a fruitful diplo-; rnatic career as Israel's first am-! tassador to Russia. Masses of Uussian Jews turned out in Mos cjw to greet her. j Then came disillusionment. The Ijiviels clamped down on Jewish I Cultural institutions, seized many! Jewish leaders; and executed some of them. I :in 194H Mrs. Myerson relumed; to Israel to become ministers of ' labor. j ;Shc led Israel's delegation to the tj.N. in 1953. Now a widow, Mis.
