  • The Army Ballistic Missile Agency submitted a proposal for a Mercury-Redstone inflight abort sensing system to monitor attitude and angular velocity, electrical power, and rocket propulsion. If the limits were exceeded, the space capsule spacecraft would separate from the rocket and descend with the aid of a parachute.[3]

  • American spy planes intercepted telemetry from a Soviet missile in flight for the first time. Flying near the Iran-USSR border, a U-2 aircraft and an RB-57 Canberra picked up 80 seconds of transmissions from the ICBM to the Tyuratam ground station.[23]
  • The West African Customs Union, forerunner of the West African Economic Community, was established by treaty between Dahomey (now Benin), the Ivory Coast (Côte d'Ivoire), Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Senegal and Upper Volta (now Burkina Faso), with headquarters in Ouagadougou, Upper Volta.[24]
  • The first ballistic missile submarine, USS George Washington, was launched at 12:40 pm from Groton, Connecticut.[25] On June 28, 1960, the sub was fitted with two Polaris nuclear missiles.[26]
  • In Italy, the broadcast of a TV movie, I figli di Medea (The Sons of Medea), caused a mass hysteria, similar to the 1938 panic caused by Orson Welles’s The War of the Worlds. Vladimiro Cajoli's script was in the form of a fictitious news program that started with a bulletin that a sick child of an actress was being held hostage by his father, portrayed by actor Enrico Maria Salerno. The mother, "Medea", was portrayed by well-known actress Alida Valli, whose plea to viewers was so realistic that thousands of people thought that the celebrity was the victim of a crime. One of the viewers came with a gun, into the RAI broadcast studios, preparing to shoot actor Salerno. To make matters worse, the fictional news program gave out a phone number that belonged to a major hospital, whose switchboard was jammed by callers offering tips for finding the "missing child".[27][28]
  • Born: Miles O'Brien, CNN aviation reporter; in Detroit
  • Died: Adolf Otto Reinhold Windaus, 82, winner of the 1928 Nobel Prize in Chemistry

  • A month after withdrawing a six-month ultimatum for the Western powers to withdraw from Berlin, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev issued a new deadline when talks broke down in Geneva. Khrushchev demanded that the U.S., Britain, and France withdraw their armies from West Berlin by June 10, 1960. The ultimatum was withdrawn on September 27 when Khrushchev met with President Eisenhower at Camp David.[29]
  • Harold Geneen became President of International Telephone & Telegraph (ITT). Over a 28 years, Geneen built the company into a gigantic conglomerate, increasing revenues from $765 million in 1959 to $22 billion by his retirement on January 1, 1978.[30]
  • Rocky Colavito of the Cleveland Indians hit four home runs in four consecutive appearances at bat for an 11–8 win over the Baltimore Orioles.[31]

  • Turkey's President Celâl Bayar became the first leader of the Islamic nation to be received as a guest by a Roman Catholic Church, as Pope John XXIII welcomed Bayar to the Vatican. The two men had met during World War II when the future pontiff, Bishop Angelo Roncalli, had been the Vatican's apostolic delegate to Istanbul.[32]
  • The first large hovercraft, the Saunders-Roe Nautical One SR-N1, made its maiden voyage on the English Channel.[33]
  • Lady Chatterley's Lover, by D.H. Lawrence, was barred from distribution in the United States by order of the Postmaster General. Grove Press had announced, in April, publication of the "unexpurgated edition" of Lawrence's novel, and the Postmaster barred it under section 1461 of Title 18 of the United States Code as "obscene and un-mailable".[34]

  • Dominican exiles, aided by Fidel Castro, invaded the Dominican Republic on three fronts, with the objective of overthrowing dictator Rafael Leónidas Trujillo. At Estero Hondo and at Maimon, the rebels rowed in from ships stationed offshore, while a smaller group landed a C-46 transport at Constanza. Alerted to the invasion by its own spies, the Dominican armed forces stopped the invasion by sea. In Constanza, where inaccurate bombing ended up killing more civilians than guerillas, most of the rebels were captured or killed by Dominican peasants in return for a cash bounty.[38]
  • At Disneyland, the first passenger-carrying monorail was dedicated by U.S. Vice President Richard Nixon. When Walt Disney took the Nixon family along for a test ride before the ceremony, the Secret Service detail was inadvertently left behind and the Vice President accidentally "kidnapped".[39]
  • As beachgoers in La Jolla, California, watched, 33-year-old Robert Pamperin was attacked and devoured by a 20-foot (6.1 m) great white shark, while skindiving 50 yards (46 m) from shore. No trace of Pamperin was found, and it was speculated that the shark had swallowed him whole.[40]

edit
  • The essay "Hai Rui Scolds the Emperor" appeared in the Chinese Communist paper People's Daily (Renmin Ribao), written by historian and Beijing vice-mayor Wu Han. Ostensibly about the criticism (in 1566) of a Ming dynasty Emperor, the article, and other Hai Rui essays that followed, was viewed as a veiled criticism of Chinese leader Mao Zedong and considered a factor in the backlash from the 1966 Cultural Revolution.[43]
  • François Tombalbaye became Prime Minister of Chad, which was scheduled to become independent of French Equatorial Africa. On August 10, 1960, Tombalbaye would become the new Republic of Chad's first President, serving until his death in a 1975 coup.[44]
  • In a White House meeting, President Eisenhower expressed his reservations about the placement of American medium range nuclear missiles in Turkey, noting that "if Mexico or Cuba had been penetrated by the Communists, and then began getting arms and missiles from them ... it would be imperative for us to take positive action, even offensive military action." The presence of the Jupiter missiles in Turkey was later believed to be one of the factors in the placement of Soviet missiles in Cuba, which precipitated the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962.[45]
  • Died: Actor George Reeves, who played the title role on the television program The Adventures of Superman, was found dead, in his Beverly Hills home, from a single gunshot to his head.[46] Because the gun was wiped clean of fingerprints, and there were no powder burns on his hand, the conclusion that he had killed himself has been disputed.[47]

  • Queen Elizabeth II arrived in Newfoundland to begin a 45-day tour of Canada. In the longest stay ever by a Canadian monarch, she traveled 15,000 miles and was seen by more than a million people.[53]
  • The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that an Arkansas law that had closed public schools at the beginning of the 1958–59 academic year was unconstitutional. Following the 1957 integration of Central High School in Little Rock, the Arkansas Legislature had closed the schools.[54]
  • A centrifuge program was conducted at Johnsville, Pennsylvania, to investigate the role of a pilot in the launch of a multi-stage vehicle. Test subjects were required to perform boost-control tasks, while being subjected to the proper boost-control accelerations. The highest g-force experienced was 15, and none of the test subjects felt they reached the limit of their control capability. One of the test subjects, Neil Armstrong, was later selected as a NASA astronaut for the Gemini program in September 1962.[3]
  • William Shea and Branch Rickey announced plans for a third major baseball league that was tentatively named the Continental League, to be made up of eight cities not represented in either the American or National Leagues.[55]

edit
  • The Soviet Union reversed plans to provide China with a prototype atomic bomb, and secretly informed the Beijing government that it would not supply technical data for constructing more nuclear weapons, unilaterally cancelling an accord reached on October 15, 1957.[57] Nikita Khrushchev noted later in his memoirs that the working bomb and its blueprints had been packed and ready for shipment, but that the Soviets then decided against sharing their secrets.[58] The Chinese would initiate Project 596 and detonate their first bomb in 1964.
  • The collision of an express train with a bus killed 45 bus passengers at the town of Lauffen am Neckar in West Germany's Baden-Württemberg state. The bus had been running late in its transport of people from the Leonbronn station who were trying to reach the Lauffen train station for a connection to Würzburg. The keeper who had put the safety barrier across the road lifted it and waved the bus through, without checking first with the German Railways to make sure nothing was coming. The E 867 express train from Stuttgart— ironically, the train to Würzburg which the passengers were planning to board— raced into the station just as it was coming into the Lauffen station.[59]

June 21, 1959 (Sunday)

edit
  • Winnipeg, Manitoba, became the first city in North America to adopt the 999 number for emergency services. The first 9-1-1 service in the U.S would be not be inaugurated until February 16, 1968, set up in Haleyville, Alabama.[60]
  • Minnesota's Lake of the Woods, which bills itself as the "Walleye Capital of the World", erected its 40-foot-long (12 m) statue of "Willie Walleye".[61]

  • H. Kurt Strass of STG's Flight Systems Division (FSD) recommended the establishment a committee to consider designs for a space laboratory for two astronauts. The proposed "two-man Mercury" mission would evolve into Project Gemini.[10]
  • Born: Ed Viesturs, American mountaineer, in Rockford, Illinois
  • Died: Bruce Harlan, 33, U.S. gold medalist in diving at the 1948 Olympics, died one day after falling 27 feet (8.2 m) while dismantling scaffolding at the close of a diving exhibition in Norwalk, Connecticut.[64][65]

  • Klaus Fuchs, who had given America's atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb secrets to the Soviet Union, was quietly released from a British prison after serving nine years of a 14-year sentence for espionage. He traveled as "Mr. Strauss" on a LOT Airlines flight from London to East Berlin, where he lived until his death in 1988.[69]
  • Negotiations for contracts for eight Redstone rockets for Project Mercury were completed with a final cost of $20.1 million, higher than the original estimate of $15.5 million.[3]
  • Porgy and Bess, the widescreen Technicolor film of the classic Gershwin opera, was released to mixed reviews and poor ticket sales. Its two leads, Sidney Poitier and Dorothy Dandridge, as well as Diahann Carroll, had their singing voices dubbed by others, while Sammy Davis, Jr., Pearl Bailey, and Brock Peters did their own singing. The work was changed from being a full-fledged opera to an operetta simply by removing about a third of the music and having the words to many of the operatic portions spoken instead of sung. A more critically acclaimed, more faithful, and more complete version of Porgy and Bess was telecast by PBS in 1993.

June 25, 1959 (Thursday)

edit
  • Taking advantage of a clause in the new U.S. copyright law, cartoonist Max Fleischer exercised an exclusive right to renew the soon-to-expire copyright on Betty Boop. Max's son Richard would later recount that attorney Stanley Handman had happened to read, in The Wall Street Journal, "the article that would change our lives forever", with merchandising rights to the popular 1940s cartoon.[70]
  • Spree killer Charles Starkweather, who had murdered 11 people in 1958, was executed in the electric chair at the Nebraska State Penitentiary.
  • Laurence K. Loftin, Jr., of Langley Research Center, began a two-day presentation on a projected crewed space station to the Research Steering Committee on Manned Space Flight. Committee Chairman Harry J. Goett concluded that space stations and orbiting laboratories should be considered as an integral part of coordinated planning for a lunar landing. George M. Low of NASA Headquarters warned that in each successive step in NASA's missions, care should be taken to consider the principal objective of landing on the Moon because the number of steps that could be funded and attempted was extremely limited. Low's thinking and the Steering Committee's recommendations would influence NASA into shifting the focus of the human spaceflight program away from ideas of large space stations and laboratories, and toward lunar flight and the Apollo program.)[22]

June 26, 1959 (Friday)

edit
  • All 68 people aboard TWA Flight 891 were killed when the Lockheed Starliner exploded in midair and then crashed near the Italian town of Marnate, 15 minutes after taking off from Milan toward Paris.[71] An investigation concluded that the plane had been struck by lightning, which ignited vapors in a fuel tank.[72]
  • Queen Elizabeth II, Canadian Prime Minister John Diefenbaker and U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower officially opened the Saint Lawrence Seaway.

  • Voters in Hawaii went to the polls on the question of whether to become the 50th state of the United States of America. The result was 132,938 in favor, and 7,854 not. Only one of the 240 precincts went against statehood, with voters on the island of Niihau 70 to 18 against.[75]

June 28, 1959 (Sunday)

edit
  • The Ethiopian Orthodox Church was created as a separate entity from Egypt's Coptic Christian church. Egypt's Pope Cyril VI appointed Bishop Abuna Basilios as the patriarch of the church, with authority to consecrate his bishops within the Ethiopian church.[76]
  • At Meldrim, Georgia, 17 people were burned to death while swimming in the Ogeechee River. The beach area was beneath a 30-foot (9.1 m) railroad trestle, and as the train moved over the bridge, two tanker cars exploded, sending a blanket of flames onto a crowd of 175 people below.[77]

June 29, 1959 (Monday)

edit
  • Pope John XXIII issued his first encyclical, Ad Petri Cathedram, prior to the opening of the Second Vatican Council. The papal letter emphasized that a renewal of the Roman Catholic Church would precede a reunion with other Christian denominations.[78]

June 30, 1959 (Tuesday)

edit
  • On the island of Okinawa, 21 students were killed and more than 100 were injured when an American F-100 plane crashed into Miamori Elementary School at Ishikawa, Japan. The pilot had ejected after the plane malfunctioned and struck the school.[79]
  • One of the oddest incidents in MLB history happened when two baseballs were in play at the same time during the Cardinals-Cubs game. Umpire Vic Delmore had handed a new baseball to Cubs' pitcher Bob Anderson while Cubs' third baseman Alvin Dark had retrieved a ball that was still in play. As the Cards' Stan Musial reached second base, both Anderson and Dark threw a baseball his way. Musial ran for third when he saw Anderson's throw sail past him, and was tagged out by Ernie Banks, who had caught the ball thrown by Dark. After ten minutes, the umpires ruled that Musial was out. The Cardinals won anyway, 4–1, so no protest was lodged.[80]
