30 for "Brown"
When Multimillionaire Financier John Hay ("Jock") Whitney, 54, U.S. Ambassador to the Court of St. James's, bought the faltering New York Herald Tribune (circ. 377,400) from the Reid family last summer (TIME, Sept. 8), one of the main questions left unanswered was the future of boyish Ogden ("Brown") Reid, the paper's 33-year-old publisher and editor. Last week it was reported that Reid will leave his operating post on the Trib this month, with no fixed plans for the future. He will still be connected with the Trib: he and brother Whitelaw, 45, are on the five-man board of directors, and the family still has a "substantial" interest in the business. Jock Whitney is still looking for a topnotch news executive to take Reid's place, for the time being will leave control in the hands of Howard D. Brundage, board member and chairman of the executive committee.
