Hawaii legislature set special session to curb police influence
Hawaii territorial lawmakers convene for a special session to create a police commission and place the force under gubernatorial appointment. The plan aims to shield law enforcement from political pressure and may shift duties of the city and county attorney to the attorney general. Officials debate whether the governor would gain more control if naval actions in Samoa influence Hawaii governance.
