After the expiration on May 31, 1969, a new convention would be signed at Yaoundé on July 29 of that year. ^[1]
• 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. ^[2]
• A Canadian Act of Parliament, that had been proposed by Jean Chrétien of Quebec, changed the name of Trans-Canada Air Lines to "Air Canada", effective from January 1, 1965. The new name needed no translation in either the English or French language.
• The parliament of Cyprus, the majority of whom were Greek Cypriot legislators, voted to pass a law over Turkish protests, allowing the government to establish the Cypriot National Guard and giving it authority to draft Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot citizens. ^[3]
• The Kenya Air Force was established under the command of Group Captain Ian Sargenson Stockwell, formerly of Britain's Royal Air Force. The RAF base located east of Nairobi at Eastleigh was renamed KAF Eastleigh, and is now Moi Air Base. ^[4]

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]
• Serial killer Anatoly Slivko killed his first victim, a 15-year-old runaway named Nikolai Dobryshev. Slivko, who has had erotic fantasies of recreating a 1961 traffic accident he witnessed when a drunken motorcyclist swerved onto a pavement and into a group of pedestrians, fatally injuring a boy in his early teens, ^[6] claimed this particular victim was killed unintentionally, as he had been unable to revive Dobryshev upon completion of his routine of filming, photography, and masturbation, although he later admitted in one interview with a psychiatrist that the teenager's death triggered a greater sense of arousal within him than his previous, non-fatal hangings. ^{[7] [8]}
• 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." ^[9] 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. ^[10]
• 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. ^[11]
• 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. ^[12]
• Lal Bahadur Shastri was unanimously selected by the 537 members of India's ruling Congress Party to become the new Prime Minister of India as the successor of the late Jawaharlal Nehru. ^[13]

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. ^[14]

June 4, 1964 (Thursday)

• The crossing of telephone and television lines in the AT&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 a rerun of the series Temple Houston on the NBC television network 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. ^[19]
• 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. 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. ^{[20] [21]} 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. ^[22]
• 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. ^[11]
• 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. ^[23]
• 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. ^[24]
• Testing of the Gemini capsule ejection seat system began on a rocket sled at the China Lake testing facility in California. Another test on November 5 would reveal a structural deficiency in the ejection seat. When the feet of one of the dummies came out of the stirrups, the seat pitched over, breaking off the left side panel. The seat and dummy never separated, and both were destroyed when they hit the ground. ^[25]
• 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. ^[26]
• The United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 189, condemning military incursions into Cambodia.

Johnson

İnönü

• Henry Cabot Lodge, the U.S. Ambassador to South Vietnam, sent a secret cable to President Johnson recommending that the U.S. 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." Johnson would disregard Lodge's warning, and the Vietnam War would continue for eight more years. ^[27]
• 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." ^[28] İnönü would tell his cabinet, "Our friends and our enemies have joined hands against us," and the invasion was called off. ^{[11] [29]}
• 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. ^[30]
• Authorization to begin work on space station studies was announced by U.S. Secretary of the Air Force Eugene M. Zuckert, applying to Douglas Aircraft and General Electric. Zuckert predicted that the Titan III rocket would be tested during the summer and would launch the Manned Orbiting Laboratory as early as 1967. ^[31]
• 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". ^[32]

June 6, 1964 (Saturday)

• The Rolling Stones were introduced to the American public in a pre-recorded segment of the ABC television show The Hollywood Palace . Although they had been flown to Los Angeles for the taping and played three songs, the only part that was televised was a 45-second segment of "I Just Want to Make Love to You" and host Dean Martin made derogatory remarks about the Stones, including "Their hair is not long. It's just smaller foreheads and higher eyebrows." ^[34]
• Over Laos, Pathet Lao antiaircraft artillery shot down a U.S. Navy RF-8A Crusader photographic reconnaissance aircraft piloted by Lieutenant Charles F. Klusmann. It was the first U.S. Navy aircraft and first American fixed-wing aircraft to be lost over Indochina in the Vietnam War era. ^[35] Klusmann would be taken as a prisoner of war but would escape a few months later. ^{[36] [37]}
• The Taça das Nações soccer football tournament of four nations, nicknamed the "Little World Cup" and held in Brazil to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Brazilian Football Confederation, was effectively won by Argentina with a 1 to 0 victory over England, allowing it to finish unbeaten (3-0-0). Although Brazil beat Portugal the next day, 4 to 1, it had lost to Argentina, 3 to 0, on June 3 and could finish no higher than second place. ^[38]

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. ^[39] "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." ^[40]
• Died:
  • Violet Attlee, Countess Attlee, 68, wife of former British Prime Minister Clement Attlee died from a cerebral haemorrhage ^[41]

• 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. ^[45] 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. ^[46]
• A 15-year-old boy in Gila Bend, Arizona, United States, Gerald Gault, was arrested after being accused by Mrs. Ora Cook of having made an obscene phone call. He was placed in the county's juvenile detention center without notice to his parents. ^[47] The parents' appeal against the sentence would lead to a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision on May 15, 1967. ^[48]
• All NASA astronauts began Gemini launch abort training on the Ling-Temco-Vought simulator. Group 1 (selected April 1959) and Group 2 (September 1962) astronauts averaged approximately 100 runs each, while Group 3 (October 1963) astronauts completed 32 runs apiece.

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." ^[52]
• 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. ^[53] 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." ^{[54] [55]}

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.

• East Germany and the Soviet Union signed a 20-year "treaty of friendship" in Moscow but stopped short of a formal peace treaty declaring an end to the USSR's war with Germany during World War II. The agreement stated that the two nations considered West Berlin to be "an independent political unit" rather than a part of West Germany. Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev and East German Chancellor Walter Ulbricht executed the pact in Moscow. The United States, United Kingdom and France would respond on June 26 with a rejection of the Communist description of West Berlin's status. ^[64]

• Pennsylvania Governor William Scranton announced his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination, as part of a movement to stop Barry Goldwater from receiving the nomination. ^[68] By then, Goldwater had picked up 114 more delegates from other states after California, for 562 convention votes, just 93 short of the 655 needed to get the nomination. ^[69] The next day, he would receive 42 more votes from four more states to reach 618. ^[70]

Potential Gemini rendezvous plans

• Christopher C. Kraft, Jr. of the Manned Spacecraft Center reported that three basic plans were under study for Project Gemini space rendezvous missions.

• 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. ^[78]
• 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 collision of two barges with the 26-mile (42 km) long Lake Pontchartrain Causeway bridge in Louisiana created a 240-foot (73 m) 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 9 miles (14 km) along the Causeway when it encountered the hole at shortly after 1:45 in the morning. ^[80] 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. ^[81]

• Myra Hindley and Ian Brady abducted Keith Bennett, a 12-year-old boy. ^[83] 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. ^[84]

• The catalytic converter became mandatory for the first time in the United States as California's Motor Vehicle Pollution Control Board (MVPCP) forced automobile manufacturers to comply with the state's new regulations requiring motor vehicles sold within its borders to include the converter or another type of vehicle emissions control device. The move came 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. ^[86] California, the first state to require emissions control devices. certified four devices from other vendors. "Faced with the prospect of installing devices made by third parties on their own cars," an author would note later, "the car makers would decide on August 12 to create their own devices within a year." ^[87]

• Groundbreaking was held for the new Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system, with an event including U.S. President Johnson 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." ^[99] 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 (30 m) 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. ^[100]
• 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. ^[101] 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. ^[102]

They were released at 10:30 that night and allowed to drive back toward Meridian under a police escort, then guided to a side road where all three were shot by Alton Wayne Roberts and James Jordan. Under the direction of Deputy Price, the three were buried in an earthen dam. ^[112] Their bodies would remain undiscovered until August 4.
• Jim Bunning pitched the first perfect game in the National League in 84 years, guiding the Philadelphia Phillies to a 6–0 win over the New York Mets.

John Montgomery Ward of the Providence Grays had pitched a perfect game on June 17, 1880, in a 5–0 win over the Buffalo Bisons. ^[114] Bunning would later be elected as a U.S. Representative and then a U.S. Senator from Kentucky. ^[115]

June 22, 1964 (Monday)

• The Supreme Court decided Jacobellis v. Ohio , determining that a U.S. state could not ban the exhibition of a film simply on the opinion of a state official that the film was obscene, without due process. In a 6 to 3 ruling, the justices held that Louis Malle's award-winning 1958 French film, The Lovers , but could not agree on a definition of what obscenity was. Four different opinions were written for the majority, with only Arthur Goldberg concurring with William J. Brennan's opinion; and two dissenting opinions were made. The case was famous for the statement by Justice Potter Stewart about "hard-core pornography", which all agreed was not protected by the First Amendment guarantee of freedom of speech. Stewart wrote, "I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it..."
• 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." ^[122] Thousands of civil rights lawsuits would be filed by inmates and "the nation's prisons, many of them truly awful places, were vastly improved."
• 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 did not 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. ^{[123] [124] [125]}
• 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. ^[126] 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. ^[127]
