This fact is developed in 'The Clays of West Tennessee," a report citing the investigations made over a six-year period by Dr. George I. Whitlatch. associate geologist, in co-operation with the Tennessee Valley Authority. The report was released recently by the Tennessee Division of Geology, and Walter F.

Pond, state geologist. The value of raw clays mined for shipment or locally manufactured into brick, pottery or other wares, annually amounts to about the report points out. The West Tennessee area, as shown by Dr. Whitlatch's study, is one of the chief mining centers for ball clays and other high-grade clays annually shipped to ceramic industries throughout the United States. Data cited in the report show that, in 1938, this area furnished nearly 40 per cent of the domestic production of ball clay, and also substanial tonnages of the other cermic-type clays.

These clays are the basis of an extensive mining industry, composed of four large companies' and numerous small operators, centering at Paris and Whitlock in Henry County, at Gleason and Dresden in Weakley County, and at McKenzie and Huntingdon in Carroll County. Oil-Bleaching Clays Produced In addition to the mining of ceramic clays, West Tennessee has recently begun production of oil-bleaching clays at a plant built in Pans in 1937.

"It will be difficult to maintain a Quorum," he said. Only 45 senators four less than the quorum necessary for transaction of business attended yesterday's senate meeting.

George's attitude appeared to rule out the possibility, talked by some senators, of action at this session on the question of extending credit to Great Britain. It appeared probable, however, that this movement among some senators would receive further impetus from the statement today by Lord Lothian, the British ambassador, that Britain was "beginning to come to the end of her financial resources." There has been no indication thus far of administration support for such a step. President Roosevelt' said yesterday that the question had not been discussed in the government.
