Mr. Wheeler. Have you completed your employment background?

Mr. Delaney. Do you want me to bring it up to date?

Mr. Wheeler. Yes.

Mr. Delaney. As soon as the war was over I went to work as an architectural draftsman. I went then with an architect by the name of Collins. I think he left in 1950 or 1951, and I have been alone since then.

Mr. Wheeler. Did you ever know Barbara Hartle?

Mr. Delaney. May I confer with my attorney?

Mr. Wheeler. Yes, sir?

(The witness confers with his counsel.)

Mr. Delaney. On the advice of my counsel, I must invoke the fifth amendment, on the grounds that it might tend to incriminate me.

Mr. Moulder. As previously explained by the committee because your counsel advises you to take or invoke the fifth amendment that does not compel you to do so. If you prefer, you may state that you decline to answer the question on the grounds of the fifth amendment.
