Reviewed by Charles Yorbroueh
It has been well over so years
since a British Army officer
named G. F. r. Henderson
wrote his weighty and impos-
ing biography of 1t. Gen. T. j.
jackson, whose fabulous valley
campaign for the Confederacy
is still studied for its tactics
as well as its lore.
Since then no author of con-
sequence has dared to redo
the pious military hero, even
to up-date Mr.. Henderson's
precise, Victorian, albeit en-
comprising, style.
In his first biography after
several novels Mr.. Davis is
the one who dared. And he
has done well. A North Caro-
lima newspaperman, Burke
Davis has produced an easy
to-read, entertaining, historical
narrative. One doesn't have
to be a Civil War addict to
ENJOY it, but the reading may
transform the reader into one.
Mr.. Henderson certainly put
more facts into his ponderous
work on Stonewall jackson.
Only the late Douglas Southall
freeman would have attempted
to duplicate such a production.
But Mr.. Davis has coated
newafacts and new anecdotes
in fine writing.

Picasso is the star of this

among them a handsome SYM
metrical jug of gunmetal gray
with overtones Of gold or

ing an enormous covered
tureen, platter, plate and
bowl of wkite-glazed pottery
with colorful fish decoration,
and a large double-bird vase.
Impressive as it is to read
about the renaissance of crea-
tive pottery in Vallauris, and
the Importance of the artists
spearheading the movement,
one might as well face the
fact that some of these pieces
are downright ugly. For ex-
ample, the large lop-sided
duncolored vase by Valentin
looks like something excavated
from the ruins of a fire. No
matter what virtuosity and
know-how these artists have,
from the visual standpoint,
some of their creations are

Among the items I liked, are

oils Of Iran by John A. Wedda.

public is invited.
Mr.. Wedda, a native of New
England now living in Con-
necticut, was a member of the
American Embassy staff in
Tehran, during which tour of
duty he painted much of the
contemporary Persian scene.
Landscapes and figure studies
executed in sombre colors con-

us today. than the imagined
Persia of the jewel-like minia-
lures in the Freer and other
museum collections. But the
visitor leaves Mr.. Wedda's
show convinced of the actual
ity of these shawled women,
beggars, workers and dancers,
and the stark beauty of the
country as seen in Mount
Demavand," for instance, with
its snow-capped peak and
floating clouds.
Mr.. Wedda's technique varies
with his medium. The forms
in this strong, simple oil paint
ing are indicated by heavy out
lines. In several watercolor
landscapes the pattern of
countryside is heightened with
calligraphic pen lines. Figures
are naturalistic, drawn rather
than painted.

Reviewed by WiIliom Hines
"Once when I mentioned to
a Russian that the number Of

Soviet Russia is one gigantic

the sky as its roof"
These words-written by an
Estonian clergyman who sur
vived nearly three years in
the workers paradise" and
now lives and breaches in nli-
nois provide the central
theme for this disturbing
book. Escape From Paradise"
Is a collection of articles by
eight victims Of Soviet

Inferno as seen through the
eyes Of the damned. Seven Of

Published originally in Eng

full tract against tyranny. It's
appeal is frankly to the emo

understand how any person
with a spark of humanity

Escape From Paradise" holds,
with John Donne, that no man
is an island; that when the
Liberal Rumanian woman
lawyer. Georgescu, is tortured
to the limits of her endurance,

The epilogue, by Editor
Smith, is a bitter denuncia-

denounces this policy on
moral as well as practical

In her own words. Millicent
Todd Bingham has spent a
lifetime in the shadow of
the Dickinson family" that
strange clan whose flower was
Emily Dickinson.
AS a child, Mrs. Bingham
relates, II had been taught
to recognize Emily's hand
writing and to respect it
the least scrap of it-even a
penciled phrase on the torn
flap of an envelope"
inherited Manuscripts
The daughter of David Teck
Todd. an astronomy professor
at Amherst, and Mabel Loomis
Todd, Emily Dickinson's first
editor, Mrs. Bingham had a
distinguished career in geog-
raphy. But upon her. mothers
death in 1892, she inherited
the Emily Dickinson manu-
scripts, and since that time
she has devoted herself to the
poet. She completed her
mothers work on Bolts of
Melody" q collection of Dick
inson poetry, and . herself
wrote the tortuous interrela-
tionships and conflicting in
terests among the Dickinson
family, in Ancestors Bro
cades."
The widow Of psychologist
Walter Van Dyke Bingham,
Mrs. Bingham now makes her
home in Washington, study
ing daily at the Library of
Congress. A small, gray
haired lady, Mrs. Bingham
has pronounced views about
Emily Dickinson and little
patience with the legends
which make Of the poet a
white-robed recluse incoming
in her chamber over her
youthful, hopeless love for a
married man.
Her Withdrawal Exploined
Like other Emily Dickinson
admirers she has less than pa
tience for Rebecca Patterson's
"The Riddle Of Emily Dickin-
son." a recent attempt to ex-
plain the Dickinson solitude
in terms of the poets love for
another woman.
Mrs. Bingham believes that
Emily's "inch-by-inch with
drawal" was a gradual thing. a
natural thing in an artist who
needed time to read and write,
a necessary thing for a woman
upon whom heavy domestic
demands were made.
Now with emily Dickinson:

Mrs. Bingham has published
for the first time a series of
letters which do much to dispel
the thickly clustering legend
and cast light on an attach

lieves was "the last great love"
of Emily's life. It was Emily's
love for Judge Otis Phillips
Lord of Salem, a member of
the Supreme Court of Massa-
chusetts and her fathers best
friend.
From the evidence of these
letters-all Emily's, and some
of them in draft form-Mrs.
Bingham believes that Emily
was gripped by "a master pas
sion with a response in kind
if not in degree"
Her Lovely SoIem
Judge Lord, Mrs. Bingham's
researches told her, was an i'm
posing man and a powerful, If
4 controversial, jurist. Emily said
of him that Calvary and May
wrestled in his nature" He
was "her lovely Salem"
Mrs. Bingham's decision to
publish the letters was a diff
f1cult one. It was finally made
on the basis that "it is better
that this source of enlighten-
ment should remain yelled no
