Oxnam Says Congress Church Inquiry Okay

Bishop G. Bromley Oxnam, speaking in Memorial Church yesterday morning, said that Congress has the "right and duty" to investigate churches, and Communists cloistered in them "should be found guilty and punished."

The Methodist prelate, who was called a Communist sympathizer two weeks ago by a member of the House Un-American Activities Committee, then proceeded to criticize the Committee for retaining adverse and untruthful information against persons in its files. "It is the duty of the church to see that false witnesses are brought to the attention of our people."
