McCormick Millions Will Aid Charity
Chicago editor and publisher Col. Robert R. McCormick left major parts of his publishing empire in trust for charity and education. The will, read Tuesday, names Tribune executives as trustees and outlines two charitable trusts to fund Cantigny, religious and educational causes, and aid to the needy, with the widow receiving large annuities and specific gifts to hospitals and universities.
