Mr. VELDE. Did I understand you to say that you were given a general discharge under honorable conditions from the Army? (The witness confers with his counsel.) Mr. KRAHL. That is what I said; that is correct. Mr. VELDE. That is not as high class a discharge as an honorable discharge; is it? (The witness confers with his counsel.) Mr. KRAHL. Well, I really don’t know. I don’t know the answer to that. Mr. VELDE. Don’t you have any idea why you weren’t given an honorable discharge instead of a general discharge? (The witness confers with his counsel.) Mr. KRAHL. At this point I invoke the fifth amendment and decline to answer that question on the grounds that I have previously stated. Mr. VELDE. That is all. Mr. MOULDER. Do you know whether or not you were discharged for security reasons? (The witness confers with his counsel.) Mr. KRAHL. Mr. Chairman, I reluctantly invoke the fifth amendment again, and for the same reasons, the reasons that I have previously stated. Mr. MOULDER. While you were serving in the armed services were you at any time engaged in any un-American or subversive activities? (The witness confers with his counsel.) Mr. KRAHL. Mr. Chairman, I decline to answer that question on the grounds of the fifth amendment and for the reasons previously stated. Mr. MOULDER. The witness is excused. Call your next witness. Mr. WHEELER. Mr. Robert Miller. Mr. MOULDER. Put up your right hand and be sworn. Do you solemnly swear that the testimony which you are about to give before this committee will be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you, God? Mr. MILLER. I do, sir.
