region 1900 miles to the west
ward, southwest Of Manchouli,
where a big salient of the Japan
ese Manchukuo dependency ex-
tends into Soviet-controlled outer
Mongolia.
The new moves were in line
with fears of the imperial general
staff that Russia had embarked

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 10.
-(UP)-Evans Dunn, assistant
Tennessee Valley Authority gen
eral counsel, today testified be-
fore a congressional investigating
committee that Senator George l..
Berry, D., Tenn, and his associ-
ates paid only a few hundred dol
lars for marble leases for which
they attempted to collect $5,OOO,-
600 from the federal agency.
Evans said it was learned in
Twas investigation OF the leases
that Berry and his associates paid
only 81 each for the bulk of 24l
leases on marble deposits which
later were covered by water in the
reservoir of TWAS Norris Dam.
A three-man commission, ap-
pointed by the U. S. district court.
ruled that the marble deposits of
Berry's group were commercially
valueless, and refused claims for
100000 damages,
The committee prObed circum-
