July 2, 1964 (Thursday)
  • U.S. President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law, abolishing racial segregation in the United States in public schools, public accommodations and travel, and in voting registration.[4] The move came hours after the U.S. House of Representatives voted 289 to 126 to approve the bill as amended by the U.S. Senate. Of the 126 against, 91 were Democrats (88 from the Deep South) and 35 were Republicans. Charles L. Weltner of Georgia was the only southern Democrat to vote for the bill, saying, "We must not remain forever bound to another lost cause."[5] The law took effect at 6:45 in the evening Eastern time when President Johnson signed the bill at a White House ceremony in the East Room, commenting that "Years ago I realized a sad truth. To the extent that black people were imprisoned by racial segregation, so was I."[6]
  • After watching the signing of the bill on national television, two African-American men in Jacksonville, Florida, became the first to put the desegregation law to a test. Robert Ingraham and Prince McIntosh "went to a cafeteria where they previously had been arrested when they previously sought service" and were asked "May I help you?" by a white employee behind the counter.[7] The manager of the Morrison's Cafeteria told a reporter, "We decided to go along and obey the law of the land. There were no incidents."[8]
  • The National Labor Relations Board decertified the Independent Metal Workers Union as a collective bargaining agent for the Hughes Tool Company (and effectively for any other companies whose employees were members of the IMWU) because of the union's policy of racial segregation and because the union "had failed to fairly represent all workers at the company and systematically discriminated against African Americans" on matters of wages and benefits.[9][10]
  • Born: Jose Canseco, Cuban-born American major league baseball player from 1985 to 2001 who was twice the home run leader (in 1988 and 1991), along with his twin brother, MLB player Ozzie Canseco; in Havana
  • Died: Glen "Fireball" Roberts, 35, American stock car driver, following injuries and burns sustained in a crash during the World 600, nearly six weeks earlier on May 24.

July 3, 1964 (Friday)
  • Military Assistance Command, Vietnam (MACV), under the command of U.S. Army General Paul D. Harkins, sent a request to Admiral U. S. Grant Sharp Jr., CINCPAC (Commander-in-Chief, Pacific) asking authorization for a patrol of the Gulf of Tonkin to get information about North Vietnam's coastal defense. Admiral Sharp would dispatch the destroyer USS Maddox (DD-731) to the area, leading to the first Gulf of Tonkin incident on August 2.[11]
  • Fifteen of the 49 crewmen of the Spanish tanker MV Bonifaz were killed when their ship collided with the French ship MV Fabiola off Cape Finisterre in a fog. The Bonfiaz caught fire and sank.[12] Six of her 50 crew were rescued by the West German ship MV Sloman Malaga.[13] Bonifaz was also carrying six passengers. The Dutch ship MV Setas picked up 22 crew and three passengers. Four of the crew would subsequently die of their injuries.[14]
  • On the day after the passing of the Civil Rights Act in the United States:
    • Two 12-year-old African American girls in Bogalusa, Louisiana, sat down at the lunch counter in the local Woolworth department store, which had previously been able to limit sit-down service to white people. Despite protests by a group of white customers, the two children were served.[15]
    • Georgia politician Lester Maddox, a future governor of Georgia, along with white customers carrying axe handles, forced three African-Americans out of Maddox's Pickrick restaurant in Atlanta. The U.S. Department of Justice would join in a lawsuit filed by the three men. Maddox would later be elected .[16]
    • The French Quarter of New Orleans quietly integrated, along with most other public accommodations in the city with "near total compliance.[17]
  • Also in the United States:
    • A group of demonstrators, organized by pacifist David Dellinger, stood outside the White House and conducted the first American public protest against U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War.[18]
Instrumentation pallets installed in place of astronauts on Gemini SC-2
    • Following the successful mating of its modules, Gemini spacecraft No. 2 began the second phase of Spacecraft Systems Tests (SST) at McDonnell. SST continued through September 1964. During August and September 1964, test operations alternated with the receipt and installation of a number of flight items in the spacecraft. Vibration testing of the spacecraft and systems was successfully conducted August 20-24. No altitude chamber tests were performed on spacecraft No. 2 because the Gemini 2 mission was to be uncrewed. Phase II mated SST concluded with the Simulated Flight Test September 3-15. The spacecraft acceptance review was held September 17-18, after which it was flown to Cape Kennedy September 21.[19]
    • Four Black Muslim inmates at Stateville Prison in Illinois began an uprising in the wake of the June 22 decision in Cooper v. Pate.[20][21]

  • In the 1964 elections in Mexico, Gustavo Díaz Ordaz was elected President without significant opposition.[30][31] Diaz, of the ruling Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) received 8,368,446 votes, or 88% of those cast, while his opponent, José González Torres of the Partido Acción Nacional (PAN), got 1,034,337.[32] In addition, the PRI won all 64 seats in the Mexican Senate, and 175 of the 210 seats in the Chamber of Deputies. PAN won 20 seats, the Popular Socialist Party 10, and the Authentic Party got five.
  • The Sunday Times linked mercenaries, involved in the North Yemen Civil War, to former RAF pilot Tony Boyle.[33]

  • Died: Turkish Army Colonel Talat Aydemir, 47, was hanged after two attempted coups d'etat in 1962 and 1963. His collaborator, Fethi Gürcan, had been put to death on June 27.[35][36]

July 6, 1964 (Monday)
  • The Battle of Nam Dong, the first in the Vietnam War to have numerous American casualties, began at 2:26 in the morning in South Vietnam when an 800-man contingent of the Viet Cong began firing mortar rounds at a South Vietnamese Army (ARVN) camp at Nam Dong, near South Vietnam's border with Laos. The outnumbered group of 311 ARVN soldiers, along with 12 members of the U.S. Army Special Forces (the Green Berets) and one Australian adviser, defended the camp for ninety minutes until air support could arrive. When the battle ended by dawn, 53 South Vietnamese, two Americans and the Australian, Kevin Conway, were dead; 65 were wounded, including U.S. Army Captain Roger Donlon, who would be awarded the Medal of Honor for annihilating an enemy demolition team, dragging wounded men to safety, and directing the defenders despite multiple shrapnel wounds.[37]
  • The African nation of Malawi, formerly the British protectorate of Nyasaland, received its independence from the United Kingdom one minute after midnight.[38] At Blantyre, the national capital, Prince Philip of the United Kingdom and representatives of other 80 other nations watched the hoisting of the new red, green and black Malawian flag after the Union Jack had been lowered a minute before midnight.[39] Hastings Kamuzu Banda continued as Prime Minister, and the former Nyasaland governor, Sir Glyn Smallwood Jones, became the first (and last) Governor-General of Malawi. In 1966, Banda would become the first President of Malawi.
  • The Beatles' first feature film, A Hard Day's Night, premiered in the United Kingdom before 1200 ticketholders at the London Pavilion.[40] It would be released in the United States on August 11.[41] The movie soundtrack would be released on July 10 in the UK.
  • An early morning earthquake killed 31 people in villages in the Mexican state of Guerrero.[42]
  • From July 6 to 12, the first design review of the Project Gemini extravehicular life support system chest pack was conducted. Manned Spacecraft Center conditionally approved the AiResearch basic design but recommended certain changes.[19]
  • Demanihi Tepa of Tahiti was rescued alive after 155 days drifting in a boat across the South Pacific Ocean. Tepa and his friend, Natua Faioho, had set off from the island of Maupiti on February 2 on what was supposed to be a short trip to the island of Bora Bora, but the outboard motor had broken down. The boat drifted more than 1,400 miles (2,300 km) westward over the next five months. Two weeks after Faioho died, Tepa's boat washed ashore on the island of Ta‘ū, part of American Samoa.[43]
  • Died: Zeng Junchen, 75, Chinese philanthropist and opium merchant

July 9, 1964 (Thursday)
  • All 39 people on board United Airlines Flight 823 were killed after an uncontrollable fire broke out inside the Viscount turbo-jet, which crashed two miles northeast of Parrottsville, Tennessee,[54] The plane had originated in Philadelphia and was on its way to a stop in Knoxville with a final destination in Huntsville, Alabama with 35 passengers and a crew of four.[55] The fire had originated below the passenger floor and eventually entered the passenger cabin. One passenger attempted to abandon the aircraft through an escape window prior to impact but did not survive the free-fall. The fire eventually burned through the cockpit and it was likely the crew was unconscious by that time. The exact cause of the fire remains unknown.
  • In Alabama, Circuit Judge James Hare issued "an injunction that almost destroyed Alabama's civil rights movement", prohibiting members of organizations favoring or opposing civil rights from gathering together. Specifically named in the order were the NAACP, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the Dallas County Voters League (in Selma, Alabama), as well as various Ku Klux Klan groups and the American Nazi Party. Forty-one civil rights leaders were specifically named, including Martin Luther King Jr. of the SCLC and John Lewis of the SNCC. Under the order, if three or more people from the named organizations, or the specific individuals, gathered together, they would be subject to arrest and jail for contempt of court, with enforcement at the discretion of local law enforcement. "Hare's injunction was ruinous," a historian would later note. "Mass meetings and rallies disappeared in Alabama and voter applications declined to their lowest number in years.".[56] Daniel H. Thomas, the federal judge whose district included Judge Hare's circuit, would delay a ruling on a motion to dismiss the injunction until 1965.
  • Ahmed bin Abdullah, the Sultan of Fadhli on the Gulf of Aden, was deposed by a vote of the Supreme Council of the Federation of South Arabia for attempting to pull Fadhli out of membership in the British-protected federation. On July 11, the Federation Council would elect his brother, Nasser bin Abdullah as his successor.[57] Three years later, Britain would withdraw from the Aden region and all of the sultanates within the South Arabian Federation would be abolished.
  • Francis Russell, a historian, announced that he had found 250 love letters that had been written by Warren G. Harding and said that they were the first confirmation of speculation that Harding, the 29th President of the United States, had had an extramarital affair prior to taking office. The letters and postcards, written by Harding to Carrie Fulton Phillips between 1905 and 1920, had been found in a locked closet at Mrs. Phillips' home in Marion, Ohio, after her death in 1960. One of the last letters showed that Mrs. Phillips had demanded $5000 a year in a blackmail scheme.[58] Harding's heirs would sue to prevent the release of the letters, or their description in Russell's upcoming biography of Harding. In 1971, the suit would be settled with the provision that the letters would be presented, under seal, to the Library of Congress, and not to be released until July 29, 2014.[59]
  • Born: Courtney Love (stage name for Courtney Michelle Harrison), American singer and actress, and widow of Kurt Cobain; as in San Francisco

July 10, 1964 (Friday)
  • Despite having once led an attempt to secede from the former Belgian Congo, Moïse Tshombe was named as the new Congolese Prime Minister by his former enemy, President Joseph Kasavubu, who fired Premier Cyrille Adoula, who fled into exile. Tshombe, brought in to halt a mutiny in the Katanga region, would serve for more than a year, until President Kasavubu dismissed him on October 13, 1965.[60] Tshombe's first act was to order several thousand Katangese gendarmes to come back to the Congo in order to receive amnesty.[61]
  • The Parliament of France approved a reorganization of its national subdivisions to take effect in 1968, with the increase in the number of Départements of metropolitan France from 90 to 95. The two départements around Paris and its metro area were divided, to be replaced by seven new départements over the next four years. Seine (governed by Paris) was split into the new départements of Paris and Seine-Saint-Denis, while Seine-et-Oise (governed from Versailles) was split into Essonne, Val-d'Oise, and Yvelines. Parts of both the old départements were used to create Hauts-de-Seine and Val-de-Marne.[62]
  • Golfer Tony Lema won the British Open at the Old Course at St Andrews in St Andrews, Scotland. He finished five strokes ahead of runner-up Jack Nicklaus.[63] It was Lema's only major championship win; he would be killed in a plane crash two years later, on July 24, 1966.
  • An anti-war petition, circulated by the National Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy, and signed by more than 5000 university and college professors, was presented to the U.S. Department of State for delivery to President Johnson, asking that the United States not enlarge its involvement in the Vietnam War and proposing international mediation to declare North Vietnam and South Vietnam neutral. "The administration was not listening," a historian would note later, and would send more than 5000 American troops before the end of the month.[64]
  • Manager Charles W. Mathews reported that the Gemini Program Office had been reviewing and evaluating plans for Gemini-Titan (GT) missions 4 through 7. GT-4 would be a four-day mission using battery power. GT-5 would include radar and a rendezvous evaluation pod for rendezvous exercises early in the flight. The duration of this mission would be open-ended for a period of seven days, contingent upon the availability of fuel cells. GT-6 would be a standard rendezvous mission of perhaps two days' duration. GT-7 would be a long-duration mission with an open-ended potential of 14 days.[19]

July 11, 1964 (Saturday)
  • Nine spectators were killed, and 14 more injured, while they were watching the 19th stage of the Tour de France, when a police truck crashed into them.[65] The victims were standing along a bridge at the village of Port-de-Couze within the commune of Lalinde; three of them were children. What was "the worst disaster in the 61-year-old history of the annual classic" happened in the departement of Dordogne when the brakes failed on the truck. The driver jumped free, and the vehicle plowed into the crowd. Enraged residents attempted to lynch the driver, before he was rescued by other police officers.
  • British driver Jim Clark won the 1964 British Grand Prix at Brands Hatch.
  • Judge Joseph Sam Perry declared a mistrial in the trial for bribery of U.S. Secret Service agent Abraham Bolden.[66]
  • Lemuel A. Penn, an African-American who was the Assistant Superintendent of the Washington, D.C., public schools and a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Army Reserve, was shot and killed while on his way back to Washington from annual training in Fort Benning, Georgia.[67] As his car approached Colbert, Georgia, on state highway 172, Penn was shot by two Klansmen who passed his car. The two men, Howard Sims and Cecil Myers, would be acquitted of murder by an all-white jury in spite of a signed confession. In 1966, the two killers would become the first people tried in federal court under the new Civil Rights Act of 1964 for the crime of violating a person's civil rights. Each would serve six years in prison for the killing.[68]

  • Twenty-two people died, and 128 became seriously ill, when they were accidentally poisoned during a memorial service in the Greek village of Stylia, 40 miles (64 km) from the city of Patras. The victims were attending a mnemósynon, an orthodox memorial service for the late Grigorios Apostolopoulos, and were served koliva, a traditional food associated with the service. The widow had accidentally put a powdered insecticide on the dish of wheat and raisins while preparing it, after having mistaken it for powdered sugar.[69]

July 13, 1964 (Monday)
  • Appeals by Lennie Field and the unrelated Brian Field, implicated in the previous year's Great Train Robbery, against the charges of conspiracy to rob were allowed by a court. Their sentences were thus effectively reduced to five years. The next day, the court allowed appeals by Roger Cordrey and Bill Boal and quashed their convictions for conspiracy to rob, leaving only the charges of receiving stolen property. Justice Fenton Atkinson concluded that a miscarriage of justice would result if Boal's charges were upheld, given that his age, physique and temperament made him an unlikely train robber. Cordrey would also be later deemed to be innocent of the conspiracy because his prints were not found at Leatherslade Farm.[71]
  • Died:

July 14, 1964 (Tuesday)
  • Mao Zedong, the Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party and de facto leader of the People's Republic of China, authorized the publication of an essay in the Party journal Red Flag. The treatise, "On Khrushchev's Phony Communism and Historical Lessons for the World", faulted the Soviet Union for its "revisionist" policies and urged a reform that contained the justification for what would turn out to be the Cultural Revolution.[72]
  • Abdul Salam Arif, the President of Iraq, announced that all of the Middle Eastern republic's political parties would be merged into one legal organization, the Iraqi Arab Socialist Union. At the same time, President Arif announced the nationalization of all banks and insurance companies, and 32 other industrial concerns.[73] The Bank of the Middle East (a British bank) and the Eastern Bank were taken over, leaving the government-operated Rafidain Bank, and banks devoted to industry, agriculture, estates and mortgages.[74]
  • At Geneva, American moderator Dean Acheson submitted a six-point peace proposal that would have allowed Cyprus to become part of Greece, with the exception of the Karpass Peninsula at the far eastern part of the island, which would become part of Turkey.[50]
Tour winner Anquetil (center)
  • Jacques Anquetil won the Tour de France for the fifth time, for his fourth championship in a row. Anquetil outsprinted Raymond Poulidor on the final stage of the 2,719-mile (4,376 km) bicycle race, arriving at the Parc des Princes Stadium in Paris after his departure from Versailles.[75] Anquetil's lead over Poulidor had narrowed to only 14 seconds by the 20th stage on Sunday, and he would win the race by only 55 seconds overall.[76]
  • The first ever Operation Sail (OpSail) was held off the coast of New York in conjunction with the 1964 World's Fair, with a race between 11 Class A tall ships, and another race with 12 Class B ships. The event would be held on five other occasions: 1976 to celebrate the American bicentennial; 1986 to commemorate the centennial of the Statue of Liberty; 1992 for the 500th anniversary of the voyage of Christopher Columbus;[77] 2000 for the Millennium Celebration; and 2012 for the bicentennial of the War of 1812 and the Star Spangled Banner.
  • A study submitted to NASA by Douglas Aircraft Company concluded that a six-person space research station, capable of orbiting for one year, could be orbiting the Earth within five years. The crew, serving on a staggered schedule, would travel to and from the station on modified Gemini or Apollo spacecraft. The station would provide a small degree of artificial gravity by rotating slowly and would include a centrifuge to simulate reentry forces.[78]

July 15, 1964 (Wednesday)
  • U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona received 883 delegate votes on the first ballot of the Republican National Convention in San Francisco to become the Republican Party's nominee for President of the United States. Goldwater's chief challenger, Governor William Scranton of Pennsylvania, received 214 votes, and other candidates combined got 211.[79] Other candidates getting votes were Nelson Rockefeller (114); George Romney (41); Margaret Chase Smith (27); Walter Judd (22); Hiram Fong (5); and Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. (2).[80]
  • Leonid Brezhnev stepped down from the ceremonial job of head of state of the Soviet Union at the request of Prime Minister and Communist Party First Secretary Nikita Khrushchev, who explained to the 1443 members of the USSR Parliament, the Supreme Soviet, that Brezhnev needed to devote full time to Party matters. The Supreme Soviet voted unanimously to accept Brezhnev's resignation and then, three minutes later, voted unanimously to approve Khrushchev's recommendation to elect first deputy premier Anastas Mikoyan as the new President.[81] The shuffling of positions led Western observers to conclude that Brezhnev was being prepared as Khrushchev's eventual successor,[82] something which would happen three months later.
  • The European Court of Justice issued a landmark decision, Costa v ENEL, holding that for the six member nations of the European Communities (France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg) Community law had to be given precedence over individual national laws if the two conflicted.[83]
  • Eighteen firemen in Tokyo were killed by an explosion while attempting to fight a blaze in warehouses along the Tokyo harbor. The city sent 1500 firefighters and 180 fire engines to combat the spread of the fire, and the effort had gone on for more than three hours when the flames set off a stockpile of nitrocellulose. The blast injured 46 other people in the area, including reporters, cameramen, nearby residents and other firefighters.[84]
  • Dr. Sam Sheppard who had been serving a life sentence in prison after being convicted in 1954 of the murder of his wife, was ordered released after ten years with the posting of $10,000 bail. U.S. District Judge Carl Weinman of Dayton, Ohio held that Sheppard's trial for murder had been a "mockery of justice" and that the doctor had been denied his constitutional right to a fair proceeding. Judge Weinman directed that Ohio authorities had 60 days to determine whether to try Dr. Sheppard again.[85]
  • Intermetall, an international organization to coordinate the quality and quantity of iron and steel production in the Communist nations of Eastern Europe, was founded by agreement of Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Poland. By the end of the year, the Soviet Union, Bulgaria and East Germany would become party to the agreement as well.[86]
  • The "topping out" ceremony was held to mark the completion of what was, at the time, the tallest building in the United Kingdom, the Post Office Tower (officially, the British Telecommunications Tower or BT Tower) in London. It would not begin operation until October 8, 1965.[87][88] With 34 floors, the main structure is 177 metres (581 ft) high; including antennae on the top, it is 191 metres (627 ft). It would be exceeded two years later by a taller BT Tower in Birmingham; the tallest building in the UK now is The Shard, 95 stories and 310 metres (1,017 ft).

July 16, 1964 (Thursday)
  • Accepting his party's nomination at the 1964 Republican National Convention, U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater rejected criticisms that his conservative views were too extreme to win the upcoming presidential election and made the statement for which he would be most remembered. "I would remind you," Senator Goldwater told the delegates and a national television audience, "that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice." He added, "And let me remind you also that 'moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue'".[89] Prior to Goldwater's keynote address, convention delegates approved his pick of an obscure U.S. Representative, William E. Miller of New York, as the nominee for Vice-President of the United States, marking the first time that the Republican Party had nominated someone of the Roman Catholic faith for national office.[90]
  • The SNCC held "Freedom Day" proceedings throughout Mississippi as part of the Freedom Summer project to transport African-Americans to the courthouse to register to vote, under the protection of the new Civil Rights Act. In Greenwood, the police chief told marchers, "You are free to go and register. No one will interfere with you if you want to stand here and register but we will not allow any picketing." After giving picketers two minutes to disperse, city police began arrests. In Greenville and Cleveland, registration and picketing proceeded without interference.[91] By August 2, United Press International would report that more than 500,000 African-American citizens had been added to the voter registration list.[92]
  • A riot in Harlem, the African-American section of New York City, was triggered after NYPD officer Thomas Gilligan shot and killed a 15-year-old boy, James Powell.[93] Two days later, the NYPD response to protests would lead to the outbreak of rioting.
  • On July 16 and 17, Flight Crew Support Division objected to McDonnell procedures for conducting Gemini ejection seat sled tests because they were not adequate to give confidence in human use of the seats. The dummies were being rigged with extreme restraint-harness tensions and highly torqued joints which could not be achieved with human subjects. McDonnell was requested to review the situation and prepare a report for Gemini Program Office.[19]

July 17, 1964 (Friday)
  • The combination of a minor earthquake in the Sea of Japan near the Niigata Prefecture was followed by torrential rains that crumbled structures and hillsides that had been weakened by the quake. Nearly 150 bridges collapsed and dikes cracked in 200 different places. By the end of the next day, 108 people were killed, 233 were injured and over 44,000 were homeless.[94]
  • Donald Campbell, son of the great British record-breaker Malcolm Campbell and driver of the Bluebird CN7, made his last attempt at the land speed record. His speed, 403.10 mph (648.73 km/h), was less than the unratified speed of the controversial Spirit of America.
  • Subscription Television (STV) telecast its first major league baseball game as a closed-circuit cable network available to anyone in California willing to pay five dollars to install a converter, one dollar a month for the service, and $1.50 for a televised Los Angeles Dodgers or San Francisco Giants home game. The first offering was a Dodgers game, a 3–2 win over the visiting Chicago Cubs and "the first color baseball telecast ever seen in Southern California". Frank Sims called the action, and Fresco Thompson provided the commentary. Unfortunately for STV, movie theater owners and television networks objected and, in November, voters would vote in favor of Proposition 15 to ban pay television.[95]

  • Six days of rioting began in Harlem when a crowd of 4000 protesters assembled outside the Harlem precinct police station to demonstrate against police brutality and the shooting of teenager James Powell.[93] When the protest leaders were arrested by NYPD officers, other members of the crowd began throwing bricks and Molotov cocktails at the station, and others began vandalizing and looting neighborhood businesses and office buildings. Over the next six days, 140 people were injured and one died; 520 people were arrested; and over 500 structures were destroyed[96] The outbreak was followed, for the first time in the United States in the 20th Century, by a "chain reaction of riots" that would strike seven other major American cities for the next six weeks "before ending in Philadelphia on the last day of August."[97]
  • Judith Graham Pool published her discovery of cryoprecipitate, a frozen blood clotting product made from plasma primarily to treat hemophiliacs around the world. The paper, "High Potency Antihemophiliac Concentrate Prepared from Cryoglobulin Precipitate", appeared in the 18 July issue of Nature.[98]
  • "False Hare" was released as the last Bugs Bunny cartoon (until 1990), the final Warner Bros. cartoon to use "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" as its theme, and the last to feature the "target"
  • The Beatles' single "A Hard Day's Night" entered the UK chart, a fortnight after the release of the film of the same name.
  • Siw Malmkvist became the first singer from Sweden to have a hit on the U.S. Billboard chart.[99] Her song "Sole Sole Sole" would reach number 58 on Billboard's "Hot 100" chart. The same year, she had a #1 hit in West Germany with "Liebeskummer lohnt sich nicht" ("Lovesick Isn't Worth It").

July 19, 1964 (Sunday)
Khanh
  • At a rally in Saigon, South Vietnam Prime Minister Nguyen Khanh called for expanding the war into North Vietnam. Before a crowd of 100,000 people, General Khanh led the rallying cry "Bac thien!" ("To the North!") and called on volunteers not only to defend South Vietnam, but to liberate North Vietnam.[100]
  • China launched its first biomedical rocket, placing four white rats, four white mice and 12 test tubes of fruit flies in the nose cone of one of its T-7 rockets. The rocket traveled into the mesosphere, reaching an altitude of 70 kilometres (43 mi), while films were taken of the animals' reaction.[101]
  • During a reception in Moscow for visiting Hungarian leader János Kádár, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev gave a speech indicating, for the first time, that he was aware that Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin had been poisoned in 1953 by Internal Affairs Minister Lavrenti Beria, who was later executed. According to one historian, Leonid Brezhnev and his allies within the Politburo were alarmed by the statement and "decided that in revealing Kremlin secrets Khrushchev was behaving irrationally and that he should be removed from power."[102]
  • Zond 1, the Soviet space probe launched on April 2 for a flyby of the planet Venus, passed within 96,500 kilometres (60,000 mi) of that planet,[103] but no data could be received because of a failure of its transmitters in May and in June. Because of the failure of the second component of Zond 1, no further trajectory corrections could be received after June.[104]
  • Alabama Governor George C. Wallace abandoned his bid to become a third-party candidate in the 1964 U.S. presidential election, and declined to support either President Johnson or Republican challenger Goldwater.[105] The day before, Wallace had gotten on to the ballot in North Carolina as a candidate for the Constitution Party, after qualifying to run in Alabama and Louisiana, and said that he would stand as a candidate in 16 states altogether.

  • Meeting in the capital of Egypt, representatives of the member nations of the Organisation of African Unity signed the Cairo Declaration, effectively recognizing the 19th-century colonial division of Africa by pledging to respect "the borders existing on the achievement of national independence."[113]
  • Commenting on Republican Presidential candidate Barry Goldwater's views on the space program, Warren Burkett, science writer for the Houston Chronicle, observed that a great deal of research being conducted as part of NASA's Apollo program could be of direct value to the military services. Burkett contended that an orbital laboratory using Apollo-developed components could be used for such military applications as patrol and orbital interception. He suggested that, with Apollo, NASA was generating an inventory of "off-the-shelf" space hardware suitable for military use if needed.[78]

  • U.S. President Johnson and his challenger in the upcoming November presidential election, Barry Goldwater, met in the White House at Goldwater's request, and agreed that both sides should avoid making "racial tensions" (between white and black Americans) an issue in the campaign.[124] According to Goldwater, the two men also agreed that the U.S. policy regarding Vietnam would not be an issue during the campaign either, and both honored the agreement as candidates.[125]
  • At a press conference, President Johnson publicly revealed the existence of the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird spy plane, which he said could fly at three times the speed of sound, at altitudes of more than 80,000 feet (24,000 m) and could "provide worldwide reconnaissance ability" to the United States.[126]

  • Astronauts James A. McDivitt and Edward H. White II were named as command pilot and pilot, respectively, for the Gemini 4 mission scheduled for the first quarter of 1965. The backup crew for the mission would be Frank Borman, command pilot, and James A. Lovell, Jr., pilot. The mission was scheduled for up to four days' duration. At a press conference on July 29 at Manned Spacecraft Center, Deputy Gemini Program Manager Kenneth S. Kleinknecht said that on the second crewed Gemini space flight an astronaut would first be exposed to the hazards of outer space without full spacecraft protection. Although he first said that the experiment would involve "stepping into space," he later modified this by saying that it might involve nothing more than opening a hatch and standing up.[19]

July 28, 1964 (Tuesday)
  • Sir Winston Churchill retired from the House of Commons at the age of 89 after 64 years as a Member of Parliament. Labour and Liberal MPs joined those of Churchill's Conservative Party in honoring the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. A resolution in praise of Churchill was passed unanimously; the only other such honor had been accorded in a vote of thanks to the Duke of Wellington. Prime Minister and fellow Tory Alec Douglas-Home spoke of "the luster the right honourable gentleman, the member for Woodford" had brought to Commons. Opposition Leader and future Prime Minister Harold Wilson, speaking for Labour, said, "In our darkest hour of 1940, Churchill was the choice of the nation"; and Liberal leader Jo Grimond praised Churchill for having led the UK "with immense power, through crisis, without weakening democracy" and former Prime Minister Harold Macmillan said, "He is the greatest member of Parliament of this, or any other age."[138]
  • Republican nominee Barry Goldwater challenged his Democratic Party rival, incumbent U.S. President Johnson, to a series of televised presidential debates in the same format as the Kennedy–Nixon debates of 1960.[139] With nothing to gain, President Johnson declined to meet Goldwater on television, and no presidential debates would take place until 1976.
  • Ranger 7 was successfully launched toward the Moon from Cape Kennedy in the first successful test of the Atlas rocket.[140][141]

July 29, 1964 (Wednesday)
  • In New York City, "the leaders of the six major Negro organizations in the United States" signed a statement agreeing to "a broad curtailment, if not total moratorium, on all mass marches, mass picketing, and mass demonstrations until after election day, next November 3" and to concentrate instead on working to defeat Barry Goldwater in the presidential election. Roy Wilkins of the NAACP; Martin Luther King Jr. of the SCLC; John Lewis of the SNCC; A. Philip Randolph of the Negro-American Labor Council; Whitney Young of the National Urban League; and James Farmer of the Congress of Racial Equality signed for their respective organizations.[144][145]
  • Flight Crew Support Division personnel visited Langley Research Center for a simulation of the Gemini optical rendezvous maneuver. The simulation projected a flashing target against a background of stars inside a 40-foot (12 m) diameter radome, representing the view from the command pilot station and window port. During the demonstration, a lighted window reticle was found to be useful in the line-of-sight control task.[19]
  • North American conducted the first tow test vehicle (TTV) captive-flight test required by the Paraglider Landing System Program. A helicopter towed the TTV to 2,600 feet (790 m). After about 20 minutes of total flight time, the test pilot brought the TTV to a smooth three-point landing. The tow cable was released immediately after touchdown, the wing about four seconds later. This highly successful flight was followed on August 7 by a free-flight test that was much less successful. After the TTV was towed by helicopter to 15,500 feet (4,700 m) and released, it went into a series of uncontrolled turns, and the pilot was forced to bail out. North American then undertook a test program to isolate the malfunction and correct it, including 14 radio-controlled, half-scale TTV test flights between August 24 and December 13. Two highly successful radio-controlled, full-scale TTV free flights on December 15 and 17 justified another attempted pilot-controlled flight on December 19, with excellent results.[19]
  • Died:

July 30, 1964 (Thursday)
  • Patrol boats from the Republic of Vietnam Navy (South Vietnam) moved into the Gulf of Tonkin on an American-funded covert mission, and attacked two islands off North Vietnam, Hon Me and Hon Ngu.[129][147] A retaliatory attack by the North Vietnamese on an American gunboat, on August 2, would become the basis for American escalation in the Vietnam War.
  • The Central Committee of the Soviet Union's Communist Party addressed a letter to the Chinese Communist Party and expressed concern over the differences that had arisen between the two parties in the previous four years. A proposal was advanced for Chinese representatives to come to Moscow on December 15. The Chinese would issue a hostile reply on August 30.[148]
  • In the British protectorate of Northern Rhodesia, still three months away from becoming independent as the Republic of Zambia, government troops captured the stronghold of the 75,000-member Lumpa Church and brought a temporary halt to their attacks on rural villages in the Northern Province. In the previous week, the sect's members had killed more than 200 people. When the heavily-armed government troops surrounded the headquarters at Sione, the sect's leader, Alice Lenshina, had escaped. Rather than surrender, the tribesmen charged at the government soldiers with spears; 65 of the sect members died in the gunfire, and two of the soldiers were slightly injured.[149]
  • The United Kingdom agreed to grant independence to The Gambia, its "first and last colonial possession in West Africa", effective February 18, 1965. Sir Dawda Jawara, Prime Minister of the British protectorate, had led a delegation for an eight-day conference in London to ask for independence in February 1965, while former Chief Minister Pierre Sarr N'Jie had asked for a December 1965 date so that new voters could be registered before elections could be held.[150]
  • In response to a request from NASA Headquarters, Gemini Program Office (GPO) provided a study for Gemini missions beyond the 12 originally planned. "The Advanced Gemini Missions Conceptual Study" described 16 further missions, including a space station experiment, a satellite chaser mission, a lifeboat rescue mission, and both a circumlunar and lunar orbiting mission. On February 28, 1965, GPO reported that a preliminary proposal for Gemini follow-on missions to test the land landing system had not been approved. Spare Gemini launch vehicles 13, 14, and 15 were canceled, and there were no current plans for Gemini missions beyond the approved 12-flight program.[19]

  • The U.S. lunar orbiter Ranger 7 sent back "history's first close-up photographs of the moon", with images 1000 times more clear than anything ever seen from Earth-bound telescopes.[151] In all, the orbiter transmitted 4316 photographs to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California before impacting at the Mare Nubium at 1325:49 UTC[152] At 1308:36 UTC (5:08 a.m. at the JPL in California), the camera began transmitting its first images, with the final one 3/10ths of a second before it became the first American spacecraft to "land" on the Moon.[153]
  • The first "all-nuclear task force" began Operation Sea Orbit, departing from Gibraltar on a voyage around the world without refueling. The U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, and the guided missile cruisers USS Long Beach, and USS Bainbridge were powered solely by nuclear reactors, and would travel 30,565 nautical miles in 65 days before completing their mission on October 1.[154]
  • In an event at Los Altos, California, swimmer Dick Roth broke the world record in the 400 metres individual medley.
