By J. A. O'LEARY

A State Department ofncial

practices which have enabled
the United States to prosper.
Thorsten v. Kalijarvi, acting
Deputy Undersecretary Of State.
was one of the last witnesses
before the Senate Autobiography
subcommittee considering the
effect Of antitrust last on Amer
lican investments overseas.
The witness said the State De-
lpartment favors increasing
American investments abroad

economic strength Of other free

to foreign transactions.

Probe Methods
Challenged
BY the Associated Press

The right of the House Com
mittee on I'M American Activities
to compel testimony about for
.mer Communists already known
to it was challenged today in
the United States Court OF
Appeals.
Attorneys for John T. WATKINS
.of Rock Island. H.. a regional
organizer of the United Auto
mobile Workers-CIO. commended
the committee has no authority
to engage in exposure for ex-
Iposure's sake"
Watkins was convicted in
United States District Court
here last May of contempt OF
Congress. He received a one
year suspended Jail sentence and
was fined $500.
The prosecution grew out OF
Watkins appearance before the
committee on April 30, 1854.
Watkins. without claiming the
Fifth Amendments privilege
against possible self-incrimina-
ton. refused to answer questions
about persons who in his belief
may have been Communists in
the past. He said they had re.
moved themselves from the
Communist movement long since.
He said he had never been q
card-carrying Communist. but
had co-operated with Commu-
nists in the labor movement
years ago.
Contending the questioning OF
Watkins involved exposure for
exposures sake" his attorneys
said in an appeal brief:
When the sole or primary
purpose Of q Congressional COM
mittee is the exposure Of indivi-
duals to public scorn. the COM
mittee is in q legislative trial In
violation of the doctrine Of sepa-
ration Of powers"
The brief added that the COM
mittee actually had in its files
fun Of information about Wat
kins and 80 persons he was asked
about. Therefore. the brief
argued. "the committees only
purpose in forcing him to testify
was to publicly expose him and
these 80 individuals and was not
a bona fide effort to obtain the
testimony Of appellant CWatkins)
in aid Of a legislative purpose"
