Annenberg Attacks Harrisburg and Faces Probe
A long critical piece on Moses Annenberg publisher of the Philadelphia Inquirer. It accuses his paper of using every tactic to discredit Governor Earle and block corruption inquiries at Harrisburg while noting potential inquiries into Annenberg’s own alleged legal horse racing information. The column mocks his defense and warns that indictments could arise from hearsay, framing Annenberg as anxious as investigations loom. The commentary shows partisan tension as the 1930s political battle over reform plays out.
