Parallel structure means using a similar form or pattern of words to balance sentences.

This sentence does not have parallel structure:

Created in 1938, the committee investigated questionable activity and if people were disloyal to the United States.

The structure should be the same on both sides of the conjunction and, which is not seen with the phrases "questionable activity " and "if people were disloyal to the United States." The sentence should be written this way:

Created in 1938, the committee investigated questionable activity and people believed to be disloyal to the United States.

The nouns activity and people are now parallel.

This sentence isn't parallel in structure because the verb form is different across the sentence:

Chambers testified before the HUAC against Hiss and claiming that Hiss belonged to an underground communist organization.

This sentence can be made parallel if it is written as follows:

Chambers testified before the HUAC against Hiss and claimed that Hiss belonged to an underground communist organization.

The verbs testified and claimed are now parallel.
