Ten Questions Unanswered

A musician was called before a congressional committee investigating communist influence. He was asked about his associations, his political beliefs and events he had performed at. He refused to answer ten questions. He did not claim the privilege against self-incrimination. He said the questions were improper and immoral, and that nobody should have to answer about their beliefs, their associations or how they vote. Refusing to answer a pertinent question before such a committee is a crime.
