Uphaus voluntarily met with Wyman several times in 1954 in a futile attempt to clarify that he had never officially been a member of any explicitly Communist party, but the attorney remained firm in his demand that Uphaus produce a list that included the addresses and contact information of all attendees, speakers, and employees at World Fellowship. To this Uphaus steadfastly refused;^[5] in January 1956, was subpoenaed to produce such list or face time in jail. The case reflected a major first amendment challenge to McCarthyism and was the subject of a supreme court decision, Uphaus v. Wyman, 79 S.Ct. 1040. After several appeals, Uphaus was sentenced to a year in jail on December 14, 1959, for contempt of court. In 1961, Uphaus resumed his directorship position at World Fellowship, authored an autobiography entitled Commitment in 1963 and retired in 1969. During the 1970s he divided his time between New Haven, Connecticut, and St. Petersburg, Florida
