Senator Joseph McCarthy was infamous for seeking communism in the movie industry.

The House of Un-American Activities committee. I got this from one of his brographies so it must be right.
By him, one assumes you mean Crucible playwright Arthur Miller. Miller was called before the Congressional House on Un-American Activities Committee and asked to name names. In other words, he was asked to inform on his friends who were suspected of being members of the American Communist Party or sympathizers, which he refused to do. After Miller's testimony, the committee voted to cite all witnesses who refused to name names with Contempt of Congress. Compare that with the courtroom scene in the play.
Playwright, Arthur miller was interrogated by Senator McCarthy and the House Committee on Un-American Activities in the 1950's. While he was frank about meetings he had attended, he refused to answer questions about what other persons had attended meetings with him. The judge on the case ruled that since both questions were important to the Committee's investigation, Arthur Miller was guilty on both counts.

All of the Above
HUAC was the House Unamerican Activities Committee led by Eugene McCarthy. In essence it was set up to find Communists and Communist sympathizers within the government, and later, throughout the US. It was the 20th-century version of a witch hunt.
Joe McCarthy, senator from Minnesota chaired the committee on UnAmerican activities, which became a sort of witch-hunt.
The House of Representatives began its work investigating subversive activity by U.S. citizens in 1930 as the Fish Committee and in 1934 as the McCormack Committee. In 1938 the committee was revived as the Dies Committee (after the name of its chairman, Martin Dies, Jr., D-Texas) to investigate the activities of communist and fascist organizations on the home front. Despite the strong anticommunism of Chairman Dies, before and during World War II the committee concentrated on fascist organizations.
