JJian they needed teachers so she
ludied ' poultry raising and be
ame a laborer in northern Pales
Sine. 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 knew these
American opportunities would
tiive been denied her because of
Jer race in Czarist Hussia.
h She began teaching sixth grades
Milwaukee, then she got into
Uirarv work in Milwaukee. Chi
cago and New York.
Her marriage to the ardent
Zionist Morris Myerson changed
(he whole course of her life.
She did relief work for Eastern
European Jews caught in the eco
nomic crisis after World War 1. 1
She helped prepare for the World
Jewish Congress that demanded j
minority rights for Eastern Eu-i
fope's Jewish communities
f During this period she discov
ered one of her greatest talents
eloquence. When her conservative!
fitlier learned she was to address;
C street corner meeting, he said
br would go down and pull her
tff the soapbox.
Q Instead he was swept away by
her words, like the others in the
audience.
, Organizing Talent
J Then she found another talent
organizing. She moved to Tel
Aviv in the midtwenties and took
an active part in Ilistadrut, the
General Federation of Jewish
kibor. 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.
