...York newspaper." Last month, when Maxwell was visiting New York, his competitive instincts were aroused by a fanfare of Page One headlines in the New York Herald Tribune announcing the "Camerama," a new* secret "revolutionary camera that will make press history." The "amazing camera," bragged the Herald Trib, takes a 160°, wide-angled picture, which the paper printed across 16 columns, i.e., two full newspaper pages. The camera mechanism, the Herald Trib continued, is so secret that only its inventor knows how it works, and he keeps it concealed in an "aluminum breadbox." The Trib said that other papers...
Changes Ahead. Last year, after he returned to New York, the ailing Trib began taking a new prescription. The Herald Tribune started a "Tangle Towns" contest (TIME, Jan. 10), which added 70,000 circulation (it held between 20% and 30% after the contest).

Howard Wood, 54, business manager. They will also be trustees of the McCormick-Patterson Trust, which holds most of the Trib stock, along with Arthur A. Schmon, president of the Trib's Canadian paper companies...
...widow, Maryland McCormick, 57, the Colonel willed a $100,000 yearly income for life. At her own request, he left her no say in the Trib. "I'm not a newspaperwoman." says Maryland McCormick. "Some people thought I would take a bigger hand in things, but I just don't want it." The Colonel did spot an heir way down on the family tree. In his will he asked that seven-year-old Mark McCormick Miller, Bazy Tankersley's son by her first marriage, be "given an opportunity to be employed on the staff of the Chicago...
