NEW YORK, Jan. 4. - A new aspect of a familiar genius is pre- sented in Emily Dickinson Face to Face" which is Martha Dick inSon Bianchis latest addition to the literature on her distinguished poetess aunt.
 Emily Dickinson is presented as a sort of Dickinson family prop erty, so much so that Mrs. Bian- chi does not even mention by name the authors of two new books on the poetess. Throughout the uses such phrases as "a recent writer" "one who has written and by even more distant phras- es. It is unique attitude to take toward an internationally famous person.
 Yet this twisted service is per- haps the best the niece could have rendered her aunt, for it demon strates as nothing else would tho New England-ness" of Emily, the curious forces that surrounded her and to make her withdrawal iron them credible. indeed almost in. evitable. That she could become a poetess of importance under tht continuous rain of family caresse! that beset her is quite a striking fact.

Rather, it provides sketch of New England family life in all it's Victorian glory valuable because it is presented unconsciously, with out ax-grinding. And there is a large number of Emily's notes, chiefly to Mrs. Bianchi's mother, and some poems, part of them good. Apparently no Dickinson ever destroyed a line Emily wrote him.
 Antithecal but important, is Just the Other Day." by John Collier and lain Lang. This fas- cinating book does for England what Frederick l.. Allen did for the United States in Only Yes terday.' As a matter of fact, the authors of the newer book made frank and generous obeisance to MT. Allen in their preface
 They also plead they probably shan't do as well with their book because England does not run to the sort of sensational material that makes such resumes excit- ing-which is at the least de- batable statement, in both depart mentsl For Just the Other Day moves fast, maintains quite unex- pected balance, covers innumer- able diverse fields adequately, and above all, is written with that craftsmanship which keeps out ot the way of its material.
 From it one can see Britain at z glance from the Armistice to tn. present, see her painlessly, intel ligently and without distortion.

don, June is. Q.N.S0.-A bold at
tempt within the World Economic
Conference to end the British
trade embargo against Russian
goods was made today by Maxim
Litvinoff, Soviet commiSsar for
