He believed in a conspiracy of Communists for the purpose of acquisition of the Hawaiian Islands.

As Stainback on May 8, 1951 left office, he had been eight years, eight months and six days in office, which until that point represented the longest serving governor.

On September 26, 1951, he was U.S. President Harry S. Truman as an Associate Justice (Associate Judge ) to the Hawaii Supreme Court appointed.
