The Pinkham Commission Mystery Comes to Light
The Sunday Advertiser outlines a claimed mission of the Pinkham led labor commission in Hawaii. It reports a secret tour from Hilo to Volcano House, questions who funds the inquiry, and alleges biased methods and selective filming of natives. The piece warns Congress and the President to review the commission’s aims and notes Governor Carter’s silence while promising a forthcoming report.
