General Matthew B. Ridgway, 60, retiring Army Chief of Staff, was elected chairman of the board of trustees of Pittsburgh's Mellon Institute of Industrial Research, replacing Dr. Edward Weidlein, 67, who continues as president.

Even then he does not intend really to rest. On the Kona coast 200 miles southeast of Waikiki, Kaiser plans to spend $40 million for hotels, a yacht basin, hillside homes, fishing boats. Said he: "There's a need for more vacation facilities-a human need. When I was 22 I decided Florida would never develop a tourist business and passed up a chance...
