Arthur Miller defends refusing to name former associates before Congress as his federal contempt case unfolds in Washington. The issue mirrors a constitutional battle over whether individuals can be forced to disclose names linked to alleged conspiracies, with broader questions on separation of powers and the limits of congressional inquiry.

Rauh argues the committee sought names rather than relevant testimony, citing Warren on investigatory versus law enforcement powers.
