Mr. Moulder. It seems to me you now have an opportunity to tell the committee that you have not been engaged in subversive activities.

(The witness confers with his counsel.)

Mr. Westman. I still decline to answer the question under the fifth amendment because I do not consider this an opportunity.

Mr. Moulder. You say you served in the Armed Forces for a period of how long?

Mr. Westman. Approximately 6 or 7 months.

Mr. Moulder. And why were you discharged?

Mr. Westman. That was because I was over 40.

Mr. Moulder. What was the extent of your services in the Armed Forces? Were you in combat service?

Mr. Westman. No.

Mr. Moulder. Are there any further questions?
