The following events occurred in June 1964:

June 1, 1964 (Monday)
  • The United States and the Soviet Union signed a bilateral treaty for the first time in 30 years, allowing for the two superpowers to establish consulates in each other's cities. In addition, it was agreed that if an American citizen was arrested in the USSR, an American consular official would be notified promptly and be given access, and that the same right would apply for a Soviet citizen and a Soviet consular official within the U.S. The pact was signed at the Spiridonovka Palace in Moscow by Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union Foy D. Kohler.[1]

June 2, 1964 (Tuesday)
  • The 424 delegates to the Palestinian National Congress ended their meeting in East Jerusalem in Jordan, and approved a National Charter. Among the articles agreed to were that "Palestine... is an indivisible unit" (Article 2); "Palestinians are those Arab citizens who, until 1947, had normally resided in Palestine" and "anyone born after that date of a Palestinian father" (Article 6); "The partition of Palestine in 1947 and the establishment of Israel are entirely illegal" (Article 17); and "For the realization of the goals of this Charter and its principles, the Palestine Liberation Organization shall perform its complete role in the liberation of Palestine..." (Article 23).[5]
  • Turkey's council for national security, led by Prime Minister İsmet İnönü, voted to intervene militarily in the Republic of Cyprus, despite objections by Foreign Minister Feridun Cemal Erkin. U.S. Ambassador to Turkey Raymond Hare was directed by U.S. President Johnson to "meet at once" with İnönü "calling him out of a cabinet if necessary, to express the administration's gravest concern and to urge restraint." The meeting would take place two days later.[6]
  • U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona narrowly defeated New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller in California's Republican presidential primary, giving him all 86 of California's delegates and placing him "on the threshold of the Republican Presidential nomination."[7] Rockefeller, who had been leading in the early reported returns, conceded defeat the next day. Goldwater's win was by a margin of less than 59,000 votes out of more than two million cast, with 1,089,133 for Goldwater and 1,030,180 for Rockefeller. With the California win, Goldwater now had 438 of the necessary 655 votes needed for the nomination.[8]
  • U.S. President Lyndon Johnson called a White House press conference without advance notice and told reporters that the United States was "bound by solemn commitments" to defend South Vietnam against Communist encroachment, and cited an October 25, 1954 letter from U.S. President Eisenhower to South Vietnam President Ngo Dinh Diem pledging an American promise to protect the Vietnamese government.[9]
  • Five million shares of stock in the Communications Satellite Corporation (Comsat) were offered for sale at $20 a share, and the issue was quickly sold out.

  • Kenya and the United Kingdom signed the Defence Agreement of 1964. The Royal Air Force would be able to fly over Kenya, the Royal Navy to put into port at Mombasa, and British forces to train in Kenya twice a year. In return, all British troops in Kenya would be withdrawn by December 12, the British Army would commit to training the Kenya Rifles as a national army, the Royal Air Force would train the newly established Kenya Air Force, and a small Kenya Navy would be established at the end of the year.[13]

  • The first Soviet communications satellite, Molniya-1 No.2, was launched at 05:00 UTC, on a Molniya 8K78 carrier rocket, from Site 1/5 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome.[14] A motor circuit in the servo controlling the core stage throttle failed 104 seconds into the flight, resulting in the throttle becoming jammed closed and the fuel supply to the engines being stopped.[15][16] Prior to the release of information about its mission, NASA had incorrectly identified the launch of Molniya-1 No.2 as a failed attempt to launch a Zond spacecraft on a circumlunar technology demonstration mission, and assigned it the placeholder designation Zond 1964A.[17]
  • The crossing of telephone and television lines in the A. T. & T. coaxial cable system caused a disruption for 18 million television viewers across the United States who heard "what may have been the most widely disseminated telephone conversation since Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone". At 8:13 p.m. Eastern time, people who were watching the NBC television network and a rerun of the series Temple Houston, were surprised by two "unsuspecting callers" who were "as nearly as anyone could tell, two women carrying on a friendly conversation somewhere in New York state". Engineers stopped the interference three minutes later, but at 8:45, more of the discussion was heard nationwide by even more viewers tuned into NBC for Dr. Kildare and to ABC for My Three Sons, along with the sound of both programs.[18]
  • The Beatles began their first, and only, world concert tour starting with a performance at the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, and a second concert two days later at a concert hall in the village of Blokker, Netherlands, followed by visits to Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand. Because drummer Ringo Starr was hospitalized for acute tonsillitis, Jimmie Nicol took his place for the first eight shows on the tour.[19]
  • The failing Rolls Razor company's account with Barclays Bank was overdrawn by £485,000. Despite this, John Bloom, managing director persuaded the company's board of directors to pay out dividends of £209,719.[20]
  • Israel and the European Economic Community signed a trade agreement in Brussels. Present at the Ravenstein Hall at the Palais des Congres were Israeli Foreign Minister Golda Meir, foreign trade minister Akiva Govrin, Israel's representative to the EEC Amiel Najar, President of the Commission of the Community Walter Hallstein, and Belgian deputy foreign minister Henri Fayat.[21]
  • Turkey's Prime Minister İnönü outlined his nation's plan for invading Cyprus in a discussion with U.S. Ambassador Raymond A. Hare, explaining that the mission would simply be to occupy part of the island nation, allowing Greece to occupy the other one-half, and having the United Nations peacekeeping force remain between the two zones. Hare asked İnönü to delay the operation by 24 hours so that he could report back to President Johnson.[6]
  • The United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 189, condemning military incursions into Cambodia.

June 5, 1964 (Friday)
  • The deep-ocean research submersible DSV Alvin was commissioned by the United States Navy.[22]
  • Canada's Prime Minister Lester Pearson introduced a resolution in the Canadian House of Commons for a new flag of Canada. Attached to the bill was a picture of his suggestion, "a design with blue borders, a white middle and three maple leaves as on the Canadian coat-of-arms".[23]
İnönü
Johnson
  • U.S. President Johnson sent a secret letter to Turkish Prime Minister İnönü, warning him to call off plans to invade Cyprus. Noting that Turkey's action would begin a war with Greece "Adhesion to NATO, in its very essence," said the letter, "means that NATO countries will not wage war with each other. Germany and France have buried centuries of animosity and hostility in becoming NATO allies; nothing less can be expected from Greece and Turkey." Adding that a Turkish intervention "could lead to a direct involvement by the Soviet Union", Johnson told İnönü, "I hope you will understand that your NATO allies have not had a chance to consider whether they have an obligation to protect Turkey against the Soviet Union if Turkey takes a step which results in Soviet intervention without the full consent and understanding of its NATO Allies."[24] İnönü would tell his cabinet, "Our friends and our enemies have joined hands against us," and the invasion was called off.[6][25]
  • Henry Cabot Lodge, the U.S. Ambassador to South Vietnam, sent a cable to President Johnson recommending that the United States not send more ground troops into South Vietnam to fight the Viet Cong. Such a step, he cautioned, would be a "venture of unlimited possibilities which could put us onto a slope along which we slide into a bottomless pit."[26]
  • The United States and the Soviet Union announced that they would work together for the first time on a joint project in outer space in the form of a weather satellite network, along with an exchange of data on space biology and medicine.[27]

June 7, 1964 (Sunday)
  • Jack Ruby, who had killed accused presidential assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, testified before the Warren Commission. Since Ruby had been imprisoned since November 24, the questioning took place at the interrogation room of the Dallas County Jail, with Chief Justice Earl Warren and U.S. Congressman Gerald R. Ford from the Commission, and began at 11:45 in the morning and lasted for three hours.[32] "I would like to be able to get a lie detector test or truth serum of what motivated me to do what I did at that particular time," Ruby began, "and it seems as you get further into something, even though you know what you did, it operates against you somehow, brainwashes you, that you are weak in what you want to tell the truth and what you want to say which is the truth."[33]
  • The Taça das Nações football tournament, held in Brazil to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Brazilian Football Confederation, was won by Argentina.

  • The UN Trust territory of Papua New Guinea, administered by Australia, convened its first elected legislature, the 64 member House of Assembly of Papua and New Guinea. Previously, the south Pacific islands had been governed by an appointed legislative council.[34] Under the provisions of Australia's Papua and New Guinea Act, 44 of the members were indigenous residents voted upon by people within a geographic electorate, 10 were non-indigenous from special electorates, and the other 10 were appointed by the Governor-General of Australia on the recommendation of the Papua New Guinean administrator.[35]
  • Twenty-eight people in the northwestern part of the U.S. state of Montana were killed, and 115 missing after the bursts of two dams sent the waters of the Sun River at a depth of up to six feet through entire towns, including Choteau, Montana.[36][37]
  • A 15-year-old boy in Gila Bend, Arizona, Gerald Gault, was arrested after being accused by Mrs. Ora Cook of having made an obscene phone call, and placed in the county's juvenile detention center without notice to either of his parents. One week later, sentenced by Judge Robert McGhee to six years incarceration, even though the maximum sentence for an adult for the same crime would have been no more than two months in jail and a $50 fine.[38] The parents' appeal of the sentence would lead to the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision on May 15, 1967 in the case of In re Gault, requiring that minor children be afforded the same due process rights as adults.[39]

June 9, 1964 (Tuesday)
  • A federal court jury in Kansas City, Kansas, found army deserter George John Gessner guilty of passing United States secrets to the Soviet Union and sentenced him to life imprisonment. Private Gessner had fled from Fort Bliss in Texas on December 6, 1960 and, two days later, went to the Soviet embassy in Mexico City.[40] He would admit that a month later, in January 1961, he had sold operational and design details of the Mark 7 nuclear bomb, the 280 mm atomic cannon and the 8-inch atomic mortar, in return for a payment of $200. However, his conviction would be reversed on findings that his confession had been made under duress and, on March 8, 1966, the U.S. Department of Justice would drop the charges because "the government had no case against Gessner without a confession."[41][42]
Shastri
  • Lal Bahadur Shastri was sworn in as Prime Minister of India, becoming "the second man to rule modern India" since its independence from the United Kingdom.[43] He would serve for a year and a half before his sudden death on January 11, 1966, during a summit in the Soviet Union.[44] In his inaugural broadcast to the nation,"There comes a time in the life of every nation when it stands at the cross-roads of history and must choose which way to go. But for us there need be no difficulty or hesitation, no looking to right or left. Our way was straight and clear—the building up of a socialist democracy at home with freedom and prosperity for all, and the maintenance of world peace and friendship with all nations."[45]

  • The U.S. Senate voted 71 to 29 for a cloture to end the longest filibuster in Senate history, 75 days after long opposition speeches by opponents of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.[46] A cloture vote required at least 2/3rds of the Senators present, or 67 votes, to pass. U.S. Senator Robert C. Byrd of West Virginia had completed the last of the filibuster speeches at 9:51 in the morning, 14 hours and 13 minutes after he had started at 7:38 the previous evening. The vote marked only the fifth time that cloture had been voted, and cleared the way for approval of the bill. Twenty-three Democrats and six Republicans opposed the cloture vote, with 23 of the 24 southern senators, along with Byrd from West Virginia, one each from Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Wyoming and South Dakota, and both from Arizona, including Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater.
  • The Convention on the Continental Shelf entered into force after having been ratified by 22 of the 46 nations whose representatives had signed it in Geneva on April 29, 1958.[47]

  • The Equal Pay Act of 1963 took effect in the United States, prohibiting wage discrimination by any American employer who was subject to the minimum wage requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act.[50]
  • The new RSFSR Civil Code, governing the rules for lawsuits and other non-criminal proceedings in courts in the Russian SFSR, went into effect in the largest of the Soviet Union's 15 socialist republic, in what is now the Russian Federation.[51]
  • Brazil's first Institutional Act (the Ato Institucional), promulgated on April 9, expired under its own terms, after President Humberto Castelo Branco had removed 378 public officials from office and suspended their political rights for 10 years. Those affected included 300 local legislators at the state and municipal level; 63 national deputies and two national senators; six state governors; and former presidents João Goulart, Jânio Quadros, and Juscelino Kubitschek. Castelo Branco also fired more than 10,000 civil servants, and retired 77 army officers, 14 navy officers, and 31 air force officers.[52] Investigations continued, however, with the creation the same month of the SNI, the Serviço Nacional de Informações or National Information Service, to spy on Brazil's civilians.

  • In its decision in Reynolds v. Sims, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled, 8 to 1, that the legislative systems of six American states (New York, Maryland, Alabama, Colorado, Virginia and Delaware) were unconstitutional because the apportionment of their districts did not reflect an apportionment of a roughly equal number of people, thus violating the 14th Amendment guarantee of equal protection under the law. The new standards announced by the Court were such that nearly all 50 states would have to reform the apportionment systems of their state senatorial districts to reflect an equal distribution of the population, something not required of the United States Senate.[67]
  • The Group of 77 (G77) was formed by developing nations who were members of the United Nations, with the signing of the "Joint Declaration of the Seventy-Seven Countries" at the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. The founders were almost all of the African, South American and Central American nations, almost all of the Middle Eastern nations (except for Israel), and nearly all of the East Asian nations (except for the People's Republic of China and Australia).[68]

  • A 7.5 magnitude earthquake struck 60 kilometres (37 mi) offshore from the city of Niigata, Japan at 1:01 in the afternoon local time (0401:44 UTC) and killed 28 people.[69]
  • Keith Bennett, a 12-year-old boy, was abducted by Myra Hindley and Ian Brady.[70] Bennett vanished on his way to his grandmother's house in Longsight. Hindley lured him into her Mini pick-up, in which Brady was sitting, by asking for help in loading some boxes, after which she said she would drive the boy home. She drove to a lay-by on Saddleworth Moor, and Brady went off with Bennett, supposedly looking for a lost glove. Hindley kept watch, and after about 30 minutes Brady reappeared, alone and carrying a spade that he had hidden there earlier. When Hindley asked how he had killed Bennett, Brady said that he had sexually assaulted the boy and strangled him with a piece of string.[71]
  • Meeting in Dallas, the 11,000 participants at the Republican state convention in Texas pledged the state's 56 delegates to U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater, while Arkansas pledged 9 of its 12 delegates to the Arizona senator, bringing his total to 660, five more than the 655 needed to clinch the Republican Party nomination in the 1964 presidential race.[72]
  • The collision of two barges with the 26-mile long Lake Pontchartrain Causeway bridge in Louisiana created a 240-foot wide hole that was large enough for a Continental Trailways bus to fall through. The bus was traveling north on the world's longest bridge, and had traveled nine miles along the Causeway when it encountered the hole at shortly after 1:45 in the morning.[73] Only 8 people were on board the early morning bus, on their way to Jackson, Mississippi from New Orleans, and six of them drowned. The barges were being pushed by the towboat Rebel Jr.; the helmsman of the tugboat said later that he had "fainted and apparently fell against a steering lever which drove the tug and its barges" into the bridge.[74]

June 17, 1964 (Wednesday)
  • California's Motor Vehicle Pollution Control Board forced automobile manufacturers to comply with the state's new regulations requiring motor vehicles had to include a catalytic converter or another type of vehicle emissions control device, a few days after a spokesman for the U.S. Automobile Manufacturers Association said that GM, Ford and Chrysler would not be able to include the technology for at least two years. California had become the first state in the United States to require emissions control devices on all cars sold within its borders, and to counteract the delays by the nation's automakers, the MVPCP certified four devices from other vendors. "Faced with the prospect of installing devices made by third parties on their own cars," it would be written later, the car makers would decide on August 12 to create their own devices within a year.[75][76]
  • A missing persons investigation was launched in Fallowfield, Manchester, as police searched for twelve-year-old Keith Bennett, who went missing on the previous evening. The boy's stepfather, Jimmy Johnson, became a suspect; in the two years following Bennett's disappearance, Johnson was taken for questioning on four occasions. Detectives searched under the floorboards of the Johnsons' house, and on discovering that the houses in the row were connected, extended the search to the entire street.[77]

  • Senator Edward Kennedy, 32, and Senator Birch Bayh, 36, were seriously injured in a private plane crash at Southampton, Massachusetts. The pilot, Edward J. Zimny, was killed. Accompanied by a Kennedy aide and by Mrs. Bayh, the two U.S. Senators were flying from Washington, D.C., to attend the Massachusetts Democratic state convention in West Springfield when the twin-engine Aero Commander plunged into an apple orchard.[83] Kennedy broke his back wand would be hospitalized for nearly six months, until December 16.[84]
  • Earlier in the day, the 1964 Civil Rights Act was approved by the United States Senate by a vote of 73 to 27. All of the votes against the bill came from the same U.S. Senators who had voted no in the 71-29 approval against ending the filibuster against the bill, including Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater of Arizona, who had opposed the measure as an unconstitutional usurpation of state powers by the federal government, rather than on opposition to the rights of African-Americans.[85] U.S. Senators Alan Bible of Nevada and Carl Hayden of Arizona, who had voted against cloture, both voted in favor of the Civil Rights Act.[86]
  • Prime Minister İsmet İnönü narrowly survived a motion of no confidence in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, but by only six votes, 200 to 206.[6]
  • U.S. President Johnson presided over the groundbreaking ceremonies for the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system in Concord, California. Criticizing Barry Goldwater's views on states' rights, Johnson talked about the federally-aided transit system serving San Francisco and Oakland and said "The idea that we are 50 separate countries, that the federal government— representing the destiny of 190 million people— does not have duty to meet the needs of these people— this idea is as out of date as the dinosaur."[87] The President arrived by helicopter, "raising huge clouds of dust and whirling papers hundreds of feet into the air" as the pilot flew only 100 feet above the crowd of 25,000 at the dedication, and a 70 year old Concord resident was injured when a metal chair was blown into the crowd.[88]
  • The last original episode of The Twilight Zone, the CBS science fiction anthology series, was telecast with the showing of "The Bewitchin' Pool".[89]

  • In Cooper v. Pate, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 100-word opinion that state prison inmates had standing to bring lawsuits in federal courts and, by extension, in individual state courts as well. The U.S. District Court in Chicago was ordered to hear Thomas X. Cooper's complaints that he had been deprived of his civil rights by the warden of the Stateville Correctional Center, and a year later, that court would rule in his favor on most of the complaints, in what "marked a turning point for inmates, not only in Illinois but around the country... Before Cooper, all power in prison had flowed from the wardens. Now it flowed from the courts."[104] Thousands of civil rights lawsuits would be filed by inmates and "the nation's prisons, many of them truly awful places, were vastly improved."
  • In the Ashes, the annual test cricket series between England and Australia, batsman John Edrich was first up for England and scored 120 runs before being retired.[105] Despite a 246 to 176 lead for England after the first of two innings, the second Test at Lord's Cricket Ground ended in a draw the next day because of heavy rains.[106]
  • Abe Segal of South Africa defeated Clark Graebner of the U.S. in the first round of Wimbledon in straight sets, 6-2, 7-5, 6-2. The tennis match made headlines worldwide because the line umpire, Dorothy Cavis-Brown, had fallen asleep and didn't call the match point when Graebner's shot was out by a couple of feet. Graebner laughed and conceded the point, and the crowd laughed as Cavis-Brown, who was exhausted from overwork, continued sleeping until a ball boy woke her up.[107][108][109]

  • A U.S. Air Force LC-130 Hercules transport plane, specially equipped with landing skis, became the first aircraft to land in Antarctica during its winter season, when storms generally make the continent inaccessible. Piloted by Navy Lt. R. V. Mayer and carrying a team of medical specialists from Bethesda Naval Hospital, the plane arrived at McMurdo Station "on an ice runway just cleared of fresh snow" after an eight and a half hour flight from Christchurch, New Zealand, for the final leg of a 10,000 mile journey that had started two days earlier from Quonset, Rhode Island, and took off later in the morning. The hazardous mission was undertaken after a member of the Navy's Seabees construction battalion, Petty Officer Bethel L. McMullen, had been seriously injured in a fall.[118]
  • Near Marshalls Creek, Pennsylvania, six people were killed, and 10 injured, in the blast of a truck hauling 15 tons of explosives. The driver had been transporting a cargo for the American Cyanamid company when he had a blowout of two tires, then kept driving until he could find a place to pull off the road. His tires were smoldering as he detached the cab from the trailer, and, while he was driving down the road to find a payphone, the truck caught fire. Three volunteer firemen were killed in the explosion of nitro carbon nitrate (NCN) and gelatin dynamite, along with a nearby resident, a passing motorist, and another truck driver who had spotted the fire.[119] The driver would later be acquitted in a trial for involuntary manslaughter.[120]

  • On completion of a series of exhumations at the former Jasenovac concentration camp in Croatia, it was estimated that the grounds of Donja Gradina held the remains of 366,000 victims of anti-Serbian extermination practices during the Second World War.[122] In 1989 Serbian anthropologist Srboljub Živanović would publish what he claimed were the full results of the 1964 studies, which in his words had been "suppressed by Tito's government in the name of brotherhood and unity, in order to put less emphasis on the crimes of the Croatian Ustaše".[123]
  • Singer Ethel Merman and TV actor Ernest Borgnine were married at his home in Beverly Hills, California, then set off on a honeymoon in Asia before Borgnine's scheduled July 27 obligation to begin filming the new season of his TV show, McHale's Navy.[124] The two would be married for only 38 days before separating on August 4, and would divorce by November.[125]

  • A body found in the United Kingdom, in the woods near Bracknell, led to a significant case in the history of the use of entomology to assist criminal investigations.[126][127] By studying the maggots found on the body, forensic entomologist Professor Keith Simpson was able to establish the date of death at around June 16. Missing persons records for that date led the police to believe that the body was that of Peter Thomas, who had gone missing from his home in Lydney. William Brittle, a business partner of Thomas, would subsequently be convicted of the murder.[128]

  • France's Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville participated in the live TV news interview program to be transmitted across the Atlantic Ocean. Speaking from a studio in Paris to the New York moderators on the NBC show Meet the Press, Couve cautioned that United States could not win the Vietnam War if it increased its involvement. "This is not an ordinary war," he said. "That means a war you can just settle by victory or defeat. It is not that simple.... the problem cannot be settled by military means but should be settled by political means."[131]
  • Britt Sullivan, a 29 year old veteran of the U.S. Navy's WAVES program, disappeared in shark-infested waters on the third day of her attempt at a trans-Atlantic swim between New York and England. The skipper of her escort boat, the Marine Center, told the U.S. Coast Guard that she had been pulled her from the water "because a big school of sharks came within 30 yards of her" and that "a short time later she reentered the water and began swimming once again".[132] Sullivan, whose journey had started on Friday from Coney Island, had planned "to swim 18 hours a day and rest six" on the 3,178 mile journey[133] The Coast Guard would abandon its search after two days after finding no trace of Ms. Sullivan.[134]

  • Manx Radio became the first radio station on the Isle of Man in the United Kingdom, as a 50-watt FM station with studios in the island's capital at Douglas.

  • UNOC, the United Nations Operation in the Congo, came to an end with the withdrawal of the last UN peacekeeping troops from the former Belgian Congo after four years.[141] Major General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi, commander of the first Nigerian Battalion and the future President of Nigeria, was the last of the 143 UN men on the force to board the chartered plane. His 85-member contingent, and the 58 men of the 57th division of the Canadian Army were the only remaining UN forces, whose departure coincided with the resignation of Congolese premier Cyrille Adoula.[142]
