MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDKORD. OREGON WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 3, 1962 Mrs. Arthur J. Goldberg Depicts Husband's Career By CHARLOTTE G. MOULTON Washington-WIMn 1959 a lawyer argued a case before the supreme court and lost. An artist depicted the event on canvas. The painting now hangs in the supreme court building, in the office of the former lawyer-now Associate Justice Arthur J. Goldberg. Te ar tist was Mrs. Dorothy Gold berg, and her comment on the incident is: "It's strange what life brings." Vivacious Mrs. Goldberg denies she has inspired her husband in his advance from labor lawyer to secretary of labor to supreme court justice though her husband appears to feel otherwise. One. thing is certain, how ever: His career has inspired her at the easel. Many of her abstract paintings, some de picting high moments in his career as an attorney, adorn the walls of all three rooms in the justice's office suite. When reporters called on him not long afteu his ap pointment to the court, Gold berg with obvious pleasure conducted a tour through the little "art gallery" of his wife's paintings, explaining the significance of ecch. Of particular interest is the one showing Goldberg argu ing before the court in 1959 when he was an attorney rep resenting the AFL-CIO Unit ed Steel Workers, who then were on strike. He lost the case when the court ruled that the government could legally order the men back to work. "I made that one for Ar thur, never dreaming he would one day be a member of the court," said Dorothy Goldberg. "It's in a contemporary ab stract idiom. It portrays a cer tain mystery as one confronts decision . . . almost like pages turning . . ." Mrs. Goldberg likes to in- ' n'ii 'IT '"" "-."" I .warn n.

It is one of a series of ancient scrool paintings. (UPI telephoto) Soviet Union Will Sign German Peace Treaty Next Year Warsaw - UPD - The Soviet Union will sign a German peace treaty next year but the West will be able to keep its garrisons in Berlin, Com munist sources said today. Visual Response Subject of Test Eugene - Fourth-grade chil dren responded more often to pictures than to words in tests conducted by a Universi ty of Oregon faculty mem bers. Dr. Wayne R. Otto, assist ant professor of education at the University and a member of the faculty at the Portland center of the General Exten sion division, carried out the tests among 80 students in a suburban school district. The children were divided into two sections. One section was shown 10 groups of three pictures each: the other sec lion was shown the words representing the objects in the pictures. The children were then asked what the three objects had in common. Significantly more respon ses were received from the group of children which look ed at the pictures. Further more, responses evoked by the pictures tended to differ in nature from those evoked by 1 ho words. The pictures tended to bring forth sensory responses, dealing with the feel, smell, or taste of an object. On the other hand, some of the chil dren who were shown the words responded with com ments about details of the words themselves, which did not occur among the chil dren who viewed the pictures. There was no difference in the responses received from good and poor readers, indi cation "that verbal orienta tion simply is not established as early as the fourth grade." Dr. Otto said. Previously. Dr. Otto had found that in tests with collcce students words brought siBni.'icantly more re sponses than pictures at that advanced educational level. Western rights of access and stationing of troops in West Berlin no longer will be based on occupation rights, but on a negotiated annex to the peace treaty, these sourc es said. No Longer Condition Their interpretation of com ing events in Berlin were closely in accord with East German hints, published late last week, that Western with drawal from Berlin no longer was a fundamental condition of a Berlin settlement. So far, there have been no public official statements here suggesting . Western rights in Berlin could be preserved. But Polish Communist lead ers have been referring in public only to a peace treaty with "both German states" rather than threatening a treaty with Communist East Germany which would end Western rights in Berlin. Communist chief Wlady- slaw Gomulka. in his St. Bar bara's Day speech to Polish miners, called for an end. to the "occupation status" of Berlin, rather than for the withdrawal of the "occupa tion regimes" there. The Soviet Union would make only one major condi tion In negotiating a Berlin agreement with the West, these highly informed sources said. The condition would be that no West German army troops have access to West Berlin or be stationed in the city. Since the stationing of West German units in Berlin has never been an Allied aim, Western diplomats here con sidered the Issue miRht be one that would be artificially created by the Soviets for bargaining put pr .,:. corporate appropriate bits of writings into her paintings. Shows Preamble The justice has chosen one showing the preamble to the constitution for a spot right across from his desk. It con tains, among other phrases, a quotation from William Smith in 1775: "Look back, look back, therefore with reverence to these limes of ancient renown when our fathers traversed a vast ocean and planted their land. Recall to your mind their labor, their toil, their persevcrence and let that spir it animate you in all your endeavors." "A painting must stand by itself," Mrs. Goldberg said. "But I like the content of this one." Another work shows the committee room where the merger of the American Fed eration of Labor (AFL) and Congress of Industrial Organ izations (CIO) was worked out in 1955, with the aid of Gold berg's expert advice. Note of Suspense "There are the photograph ers and newsreel men," she said. "Again the note of sus pense. That's an old one, too. I never thought that would land in the supreme court." Her husband's climb to high government office has handi capped Mrs. Goldberg in one respect-public exhibitions. "I stopped one-man shows when he was secretary of la bor," she said. "The work has to stand by itself. H can't get in on some one's coat tails, no matter how good those coat tails are!" But, she added, she does submit work to juries if it is anonymous. To compensate for the slow down in her art career, Mrs. Goldberg has substituted a new interest. "For the next two years," she said, "I'd like to give much of my time to helping solve the school drop-out problem here in the District of Columbia." She mentioned New York's experience with a "Public Ed ucation Association." which interests itself in school prob lems. "I want to explore how ac ceptable that kind of commit tee would be here," she said. "You know an artist will of ten try his hand at another form of endeavor. A painter may try sculpture or ceram ics. I'm trying this." Russian Lead in Rockets Claimed Moscow iL'PIi Marshal Ser- j gci Biryuzov, commander in i chief of Russian rocket forces, t claimed today that the Soviet Union leads the United States in both antimissile defense and delivery of multi-megaton rockets. Writing in the army news- paper Red Star, Biryuzov said Russia's largest nuclear rock ets "attain a tremendous yield I of 50 or 60 or more megatons" while the biggest American I war head has a destructive po tential of "only 5 million tons of TNT."
