McCormick, Harry, -1968

Harry McCormick, reporter for the Houston Press in July 1935, and his managing editor E.M. Pooley, were cited for contempt of court by District Judge M.S.

Other journalists cited for contempt were reporter Ed Rider of the Houston Chronicle with his managing editor George Cottingham, and reporter Frank White of the Houston Post with managing editor Max Jacobs.
