Putting 'using' in headers is no-no, it gets dragged into any file that
includes the header.
class STRING

Avoid all caps for class names, the idiomatic use for all caps is for
macros.

friend istream &operator>>(istream *is, STRING &st);

^^
There's your problem, should be istream&.

Silly comment!

Non-standard include. You should use
#include <iostream>

Actually, since you never use a full iostream, just references, you
should use
