Chairman Velde Of the House
Un-American Activities Commit
tee said today he is willing to
talk informally with Bishop G.
Bromley Oman, the Methodist
churchman who has been out
spoken in his criticism of the
committee.
He indicated that if the Bishop
also appears in an open hearing,
he will be asked pertinent ques-
tions" about his affiliations.
Mr.. Velde told reporters he
has sent word to the Bishop that
he will be glad to see him "at our
mutual convenience.
He said the message was sent
in reply to a letter from Bishop
Oman asking for an informal
conference with either Mr.. Velde
or the full committee.
Mr.. Velde, noting that he and
members of his family have long
been members of the Methodist
church, said he thinks the bishop
''has a legitimate reason for at

"The bishop should, when he
criticizes our procedures, take
into consideration the record of
his own activities and we will
take his criticism as we take any
other criticism but we shall also
ask the bishop pertinent ques-

with various groups"
Mr.. Velde indicated such ques-

churchman testifies in an open
hearing.

The bishop has said the COM
mittee'S file on him connects him
with organizations he never be-
longed to and with some organi-

after he quit them.
Bishop Oman was one of the
first to denounce Mr.. Velde's
statement last month that there
was a possibility the committee
might investigate individual
clergymen for Communist ac-
