Frank F Truscott (October 2, 1894 - December 1969) was an American attorney. He was an Attorney General of Pennsylvania and candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania. He was born to a wealthy horse breeding family and long considered himself to be a gentleman farmer.[1] He graduated with a law degree from Lafayette College in 1917. He was the longtime City Solicitor of Philadelphia and a key fixture in the last days of the city's dying Republican machine; he ran unsuccessfully for Congress in 1940.[2] In 1953, he was appointed to fill a vacancy in the attorney general's office; he did not run for a full term, but instead sought the position of lieutenant governor in 1954. From 1953 to 1969 he was a trustee of his alma mater, Lafayette College.[3]
Truscott was an outspoken opponent of Communism. He was involved in the circulation of a McCarthyist loyalty oath while serving as attorney general. In 1956, he was a prosecutor on the case against communist organizer Steve Nelson.
