Anyone know why his mother didn’t remain in Hawaii to return to college? Seems strange to put a 2 week old baby on a plane to take classes that could have been taken close to home.

Because the baby was evidence that Frank Marshall Davis had engaged in intercourse with an underage female recently transported across state lines. As Davis was already under investigation by the FBI's UnAmerican activities unit, both Davis and Stanley Armour Dunham could have been up on federal charges.

I think you may have hit the nail on the head. Makes sense.
