Kennedy's Men v Goldberg's Washington - (UW - Arthur J. Goldberg U the world's most ambitious job-hunter. He's looking for 8 million , Jobs .. . . .., . ...... ,. f He doesn't need ; any of them for himself because he's already fully employed, at a salary of $25,000 a year, as President Kennedy's secre tary of labor. But there are 5,500,000 Other Americans who don't Concern for Unemployed Stems From Personal Sympathy have Jobs, and at least 1,500,' 000 more who are working only part time. "We've got to create an economic recovery . that will afford job' opportunities, for this year's crop of college graduates," Goldberg, said in an interview in his oak-paneled office on the third floor of the Labor ' Department Building on Constitution Ave nue. . "I regard this as our priority assignment." Special Counsel Goldberg was special coun sel for the AFL CIO, and one of the most powerful figures in the U.S. union movement, before his appointment to the Cabinet. But his concern for the unemployed is not mere ly the reflection of a "labor viewpoint." It stems from a deep personal .sympathy for human beings who are getting SECTION C i MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY; MAY 18, 1961 ' PAGES 1 to 10 r fry K I . r -Vfrfi I .4 4 it ' fit !??

J (UPI Telephoto) and Paul Walker, Cleveland, O., president , , i the short end of society's stick. Arthur Goldberg grew up in Chicago's West Side slums, and has never forgotten what it's like to' be poor. His mem ories have recently been re freshed by personal visits to industrial areas of seven eastern and midwestern states that have been hard-hit by unemployment. In Duluth, Minn., Goldberg met a steelworker named Roy Patterson. "Mr. Secre tar y," Patterson said, "I've got four children at home and I've been unemployed for six months. I need work. Are you going to do something to help me?" The question haunts Gold berg. When he looks at a gov ernment report on unemploy ment, he sees not cold statis tics but millions' of Roy Pat tersons, all waiting for him to "do something." Great Deal Already Done Goldberg has, in fact, done a good deal already. He was a principal architect of the Kennedy administration's anti-recession program, and carried the main burden of testimony on Capitol Hill for the bills which have been en acted by Congress to extend unemployment compensation and -to aid depressed areas. Some of his former col leagues in organized labor have criticized the administra tion's efforts as inadequate, and have demanded more drastic measures in a hurry. But Goldberg said there is "entire agreement" between him and President Kennedy on ' the pace of government efforts to stimulate recovery. "I think the President's sense of timing is excellent," he said, underscoring the last word with a sweeping gesture of his right hand. "It obvious ly would' not be appropriate to come forward with new proposals until Congress has completed action on those we originally advanced." .v. He acknowledged, how- Buy Holsum and. get to enjoy . you buy wmar all the bread because Only Holsum Is Oven Fresh from End 'i 1110 . See hew the new Miracle Wrap saves you bread money . . . buy the Premium Quality Loaf Todayl ever, that new proposals are under "active consideration" in the administration for sub mission to Congress later , in this session. One plan which has Gold berg's strong support calls for an outlay for several hundred million dollars to attack "hard - core" unemployment by restraining jobless work ers in new skills. The plan also calls for help ing young people - especially those who 'have finished or dropped out of high school without acquiring marketable skills - to train themselves for' employment in today's highly technological world. This might be done through on-the-job training programs in cities, with the government paying employers to teach the young people a trade. A sup plementary idea is to set up a Youth Conservation Corps -reminiscent of the New Deal's CCC - to put young people to work in national parks and forests. Contagious Habit '. . Goldberg was exactly on time for the interview - a rarity in the new administra tion, where being late for ap pointments seems to be a con tagious habit of high officials. After preliminary pleasan tries, he relaxed with one foot perched on the corner of his desk, a posture which height ened his strong resemblance to a college professor. At 52, Goldberg is the sec ond oldest member of the Cabinet, y i e 1 d ing seniority only to Secretary of Com merce Luther Hodges, who is 62. He is a man of medium build (5 feet 10, 153 pounds), with wavy gray hair, and wears thick-lensed, horn-rimmed glasses. He graduated from Northwestern Unlver sity Law School at the age of 20 with the highest academic average ever achieved in that institution, and has retained the professional outlook of a legal scholar through his long years of front-line involve ment in labor -management and political struggles. Reflects Heritage Both in his devotion to ethical principles and in his humanitarlanism, Gold berg reflects a Jewish religious heritage of which he is very proud. His grandfather was a rabbi and his father was president of an Orthodox syn agogue. Goldberg retains sen timental ties with Orthodox Judaism, but has become an active member of the Reform branch. "I'm a pragmatic person, not a preacher," he said. "But I do feel strongly that our nation needs to recover a strict sense of moral prin ciple. If truth has indeed 'fallen in the street,' let's lift her up again. A Democratic society cannot function suc cessfully except on the foun dation of honesty, integrity and responsibility."
