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 . . ."

DEPICTS CASE - In 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 Washington, in the office of the former lawyer
now Associate Justice Arthur J. Goldberg. The artist was
Mrs. Goldberg. Justice and Mrs. Goldberg are shown here
in Supreme Court chambers in a recent photograph. Behind
the desk is a work of Dorothy Goldberg's entitled "Com
mentary." It is one of a series of ancient scrool paintings.

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."
