Kennedy's Men

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

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

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-

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."
