From Arthur Herman's biography of Sen. Joseph McCarthy:

"... the FBI's J. Edgar Hoover decided to take his case to the Republican Congress. His testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee in March 1947 was the opening salvo in an offensive against domestic communism."

If Herman doesn't know or use the "correct" name, it's unlikely many others will. I'm not sure what the bone of your objection is, but it sounds to me like you're tilting at windmills.

Sad that you don't get it. I'll repeat - the correct title of the congressional committe was (it no longer exists) The House Select Committee on Un-American Activities, NOT the House Un-American Activities Committee. The committee was not involved in un-american activities as the left, communists, and fellow-travelers would have the unwashed masses believe. Suggest you read Witness by Chambers, which points out this great proprogranda success.
