Testifying at his own request
before the House Un-American
Actvities committee, Oxnam ask
ed that the inaccuracies and mis
representations about him be
withdrawn, declaring that he had
never knowingly associated with
a Red-front group. The commit

filiation by Bishop Oxnam.”
In 1954 Oxnam again drew fire
from the committee when Har
vey Matusow, self-styled former

leading member of Red front
groups. Oxnam was again cleared
in February of this year when
Matusow retracted all his pre
vious testimony, saying that it
had all been lies.
