John Parnell Thomas (January 16, 1895 – November 19, 1970) was an American stockbroker and politician. He was elected to seven terms as a U.S. Representative from New Jersey as a Republican, serving from 1937 to 1950.
Thomas later served nine months in federal prison for corruption. Ironically, he would serve his sentence at the same prison as two of the Hollywood Ten, whose convictions were obtained after Thomas's inquiries into the film industry.[1]
