...Angeles International Airport, a luxurious ranch-type hotel with a palm-fringe'd patio and swimming pool opened for business, was already booked a month in advance. Built by Real Estate Man Hyatt von Dehn, 45, his Hyatt House has a $75-a-day executive suite for business conferences, 69 other rooms at $8 to $14 a day. At New York City's La Guardia Airport, former Hotel Owner (Manhattan's Paramount and Weylin) Louis Ritter, 48, had the first 40-room section of his $2,500,000 La Guardia Hotel (future size: 265 rooms) open...

At war's end, Wilson reconverted G.M. to peacetime production at top speed and partially converted to defense production when the Korean war broke out. Today, Wilson...
Retirement of the week: Colonel Frank Kelso Hyatt, 67, third president of the Pennsylvania Military College-the school his grandfather and his father ran before him. A rugged, grey-haired man who once, as a captain in the Pennsylvania National Guard Cavalry, set something of a record by riding 17 horses, Cossack-style, Hyatt has seen his campus grow from 150 to 600 cadets, has watched over every student from reveille to taps. Last week, as he stepped down, the PMC corps staged a full dress parade in his honor. "I thought to myself," said Colonel Hyatt, "this...
