The Trib was particularly annoyed at being pictured as the Poor Little Match Girl of New York journalism by its own financial editor: "Last month was our biggest June yet," said Editor John Denson. In an editorial page box which complained that the Times had struck a low blow merely by printing most of Rogers' now on-the-record speech, the Trib was moved to brief apology.

In as new editor went Managing Editor Osborn Elliott. 36. a 1944 Harvard graduate and former TIME writer, to replace John Denson, who resigned last month to become editor of the New York Herald Tribune. Aging Board Chairman Muir was politely shifted to a resounding but inactive new post as chairman of the executive committee of the board.
