Jailed Leader
Supported By
Negro Group

OAKLAND National Negro
Congress today rallied to the de-
fense of it's East Bay executive Sec
retary, Ray Thompson, who was
jailed in Berkeley on charges OF
violating the California state elec-
ton code.
In statement signed by
Charles MacMurray, chairman of
the executive board of NNCs Ala
media county chapter, the congress
charged Thompson ''has been sin
gled out for attack by The Oakland
Tribune because of the leadership
he has shown in fighting police
brutality and for the rights of the
Negro people"
"We denounce this attack on
Mr.. Thompson" the statement
declared. "We recognize it as an
attempt to divert the attention of
the people from the corrupt Oak
land polio department and an ir-
responsible city administration.
1--WE call upon all organizations
to join with us to support our
demand for just and equal treat
ment of all citizens of the COM
munity."
MIR. Matt Crawford, regional di-
rector of NNC told The Daily Peo-
pies World today: "The NNC is
going to use every resource in
fighting these charges against
Thompson"
The complaint against Thomp-
son, signed by Alameda County
Clerk C. E. Wade, alleges the de-
fendant voted five times in VIOLA
ton of California law under a Sec
ton which disenfranchises person
convicted "of any infamous crime"
and provides that any person not
entitled to vote who fraudulently
votes is guilty of felony. It pro-
vides a maximum penalty of $1,000
fine and five years in Jail for each
offense.
On the basis of a robbery con-
viction against him in 1928 Thomp-
son is charged on five counts of
illegally voting since 1914 to which
he pleaded not guilty yesterday, on

When Guests Stay Late
Dessert and coffee are always
acceptable for stay-up late refresh
ments. But it's considerate to
serve decaffeinated coffee, so that
everybody can enjoy extra cups
without worrying over sleeping
problems later on. The new instant
variety is convenient to use. Just
make it in the cup as it is needed.
It is real coffee, all but the caffeine,
and has a rich, full-bOdied flavor.
Fruit, crackers and cheese are al
ways in good standing for late re-
freshments, and so is a layer cake
or a tray Of sandwiches. If you
wish to serve iced coffee, just dis
solve the instant decaffeinated
coffee in tap" water, then add ice.
When Baby Takes His Place in the

Before and after summing baby,
it's important to protect his delicate
skin by patting him all over with
special baby lotion that's blend
of pure mineral oil and lanolin with
an antiseptic ingredient added for
extra protection. Be sure he gets
generous dab Of baby lotion in
all the tiny creases in his neck and
chubby legs as we'll as on his face,
chest, arms and legs, and repeat the
routine after bathing. Careful OBJ
servance of this ritual will protect
baby's delicate skin from the dry
ing effects of summer sun and
winds as we'll as from the discom-
