Berry Had No Connection to Norris Dam Papers
In Knoxville on December 7 a witness testified Senator George L. Berry had no involvement with legal documents granting him power to settle damages to landholders in the Norris Dam basin. C. A.

Berry previously said he knew nothing of the papers and had obtained leases in 1932 without planning action against the government.
