It was Martin Dies Jr. who started the HUAC if I'm not mistaken.

ME:
That is the impression you would get from Goggle. But Dies took over HUAC and MADE it anti-Communist AFTER World War II. During the Roosevelt years, there were more Communists than anti-Communists among congressional Democrats. Southerners became a very small minority of Democrats after the 1932 landslide, and those Northern Democrats were FAR left.
Dies may have named it HUAC for all I know or can easily find out. The original committee and its purpose are simply un Googleable, at least for me.
I got the real story from a chance mainline documentary shortly before the KGB files were closed again. But, like the Medicogenetical Institute, it has gone into the Memory Hole.
But it WAS a Communist New York Jew who set up the originial committee to chase German sympathizers and Klansmen, and Communists were on that committee.
