Mr. Westman. Well, I will answer under compulsion, and I am a sheetmetal worker.
Mr. Tavenner. Do you have any other occupation?
(The witness confers with his counsel.)
Mr. Westman. Do you mean at the present time?
Mr. Tavenner. During the last month, say, during the month of March.
Mr. Westman. I would like to confer with my counsel.
(The witness confers with his counsel.)
Mr. Westman. Well, sir, I would like—I will decline to answer that question under the fifth amendment, as I do not know what is referred to as work by the question, and, hence, it might be something that is construed by you, sir, as constituting work that might be of a character that would waive my rights under the fifth amendment. And, hence, I will take the fifth amendment.
Mr. Tavenner. I will be more specific.
Have you been engaged during the month of March in any publication work of any kind? That will limit it within narrow bounds.
