Died. Cecile White Stainback, 55, wife of Hawaii's Governor (since 1942) Ingram Macklin Stainback; after a brain operation; in St. Louis...
...Warehousemen's Union had thrown up around the islands. He got there just in time to learn how Hawaii's tiny legislature felt about it.

What is more, they said, Harry Bridges' union had frequently abused arbitration agreements on the mainland. A fact-finding board appointed by Governor Ingram M.
