Nov. 4, 1964 | LBJ Victory Statement
Real Time 1960s
Nov. 4, 1964 - In Austin, Tex., today, President Lyndon B. Johnson said in his victory statement: “I ask all those who supported me and all those that opposed me to forget our differences because there are many more things in America that united us than divide us.” Johnson won his first elective White House term by battering down Republican strongholds across the nation. Maine and Vermont fell into his column, as did normally Republican Kansas. Only in the South, where he lost five states, did his drive falter. It was the greatest presidential victory of modern times — the largest ever in terms of votes rolled up and margin over his opponent.

Sept. 25, 1964 | California Wildfires
Real Time 1960s
Sept. 25, 1964 - The big Santa Barbara brush fire moved today into an area of several hundred mountain cabins in Ventura County, Calif.
It was unknown how many of the cabins were occupied, as the area has few telephone lines. The sector is 10 air miles west of Ojai, an art center and tourist attraction of about 7,000 population. There was no official report of a threat to Ojai.
The fire, now in its fourth day, has charred more than 80,000 acres and destroyed at least 78 homes, some of them mansions. Governor Edmund G. Brown and the Federal Small Business Administration have declared Santa Barbara County a disaster area, facilitating repair loans.
The U.S. Forest Service brought in 300 more firefighters today, making the total 2,100 men battling the blaze. This brought the fire’s casualty total to 41 injured, besides one firefighter, John L. Patterson, 45 years old, burned to death yesterday. Patterson tried to run through the flames when trapped by a flare-up northeast of Montecito. Three other men huddled against an embankment and survived.

Sept. 18, 1964 | MLK Meets Pope Paul VI
Real Time 1960s
Sept. 18, 1964 - Dr. Martin Luther King talked for 25 minutes today with Pope Paul VI and said the Pontiff promised to make a personal and public denunciation of racial segregation.
The American civil rights leader called his meeting with the Pope and the Pontiff’s words “profound encouragement for all Christians in the world and particularly in the United States who are involved in the civil rights struggle with us.”Dr. King, 35, a Baptist minister, and the Catholic Pontiff conferred in the papal apartment in the Apostolic Palace.
The Vatican did not issue a statement afterward. But the fact that the Pope granted the private audience and spent 25 minutes with Dr. King was significant in itself. Private papal audiences are rare and often last barely 10 minutes.
“The Pope told me to say to the Negro people,” Dr. King said, “that he is remembering them in his daily prayer and that he is continually asking for God’s blessing as we continue the struggle for freedom and justice.”

Sept. 3, 1964 | RFK Resigns as Attorney General
Real Time 1960s
Sept. 3, 1964 - Robert F. Kennedy closed the door today on his career in the Cabinet and prepared to begin in earnest his quest for a career on Capitol Hill.
Kennedy went to the White House just before noon to deliver to President Johnson his resignation as Attorney General, the position to which he was appointed by his brother, President Kennedy, three years and eight months ago.
In a letter that began with the salutation “Dear Bob,” Johnson said his regret was “tempered by satisfaction” that Kennedy intended to remain in public life. “You will soon be back in Washington where I can again call upon your judgment and counsel,” the President added.
Kennedy is the Democratic Senatorial candidate in New York. His opponents are Senator Kenneth Keating, a Republican, and Henry Paolucci, a Conservative.
On a nostalgic final day as head of the Justice Department, Kennedy listened to speeches by schoolchildren he had helped, ate lunch with other Cabinet members, received a Bowie knife from a delegation of Special Forces soldiers, and thanks his staff members for their loyalty.
Several times, he reminisced about his term in the Cabinet — especially about the days when his brother was alive, when he often served as the stone against which President Kennedy sharpened his ideas and policies.
“When I think of all the things that have happened since that snowy inauguration day in January,” he told 2,000 members of the Justice Department at a reception, “I like to think our role has been the one that is suggested in an old Greek saying: ‘To tame the savageness of man, make gentle the life of the world.’”
At a brief news conference in the White House driveway, Kennedy said he was leaving the Administration “with some regret — perhaps more regret than the enthusiasm I felt when I took over.”
Asked whether he had designs on the White House himself, he replied with a smile: “I think there’s someone there. I keep reading that, and I never see any statement that he is willing to move out. I think he’ll be there for some time.”
Kennedy will be succeeded, at least temporarily, by his deputy, Nicholas Katzenbach, a 42-year-old former law professor who led Federal marshals in their tear-gas defense against hostile crowds at Oxford, Miss., in September 1962.

Sept. 3, 1964 - British middleweight champion Mick Leahy of Ireland scored a bruising 10-round upset decision over Sugar Ray Robinson tonight.
Referee Ike Powell of Wales, the only ring official, gave the verdict to Leahy, and the decision was immediately disputed by Robinson, 44, and manager George Gainsford.
It was a rough fight with continuous clinching, and Powell occasionally had difficulty obtaining a clear view of the battlers.
“It was a shocking verdict,” Gainsford said, “and I have asked the board of control to examine the referee’s card — he must have counted wrong.”

Feb. 1, 1962 - Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy took off today on a goodwill trip around the world. He is scheduled to return at the end of February. He will spend a week each in Japan and Indonesia and make shorter visits to Hong Kong, Iran, Italy, West Germany, and the Netherlands. Mr. Kennedy’s wife, Ethel, will be with him. The trip symbolizes the extraordinary role played by Robert Kennedy in this Administration. “The second most powerful man in Government” — that is the estimate of the Attorney General given by insiders. Far more than any previous Attorney General, he is involved in affairs outside the problems of law enforcement.

Feb. 14, 1962 - Jacqueline Kennedy's Televised White House Tour
Real Time 1960s
Feb. 14, 1962 - Millions of television viewers toured the White House this evening with Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy leading the way. The President’s wife explained the restoration she has made in the interior of the Executive Mansion. In the hour-long program, recorded on tape last month, Mrs. Kennedy, a poised TV narrator, was a historian savoring the small facts and human story behind the evolution of White House décor. Wearing a wool suit of simple line and three strings of pearls, she strolled through rooms on the ground, first and second floors in what was described as the most extensive public view of the White House ever shown. Mrs. Kennedy’s companion on the tour was Charles Collingwood, a reporter for CBS’s news department, which conceived and produced the program. CBS also made the presentation available to NBC. Both networks carried the program simultaneously. After Mrs. Kennedy completed the tour, the President appeared briefly to support his wife’s efforts to impart a sense of living history to the White House. An awareness of history can be a source of strength in meeting the problems of the future, he said. Mrs. Kennedy’s competition in the ratings tonight came from “Naked City,” a police adventure series presented by ABC. ABC said that it could not afford to share in the total production cost of Mrs. Kennedy’s program, estimated at more than $100,000, because of unforeseen expense in covering the delayed orbital flight of Lieut. Col. John H. Glenn Jr.

Feb. 22, 1962 - J.

In his talk at Valley Forge, Pa., Mr. Hoover declared: “The forces of communism pervert our Bill of Rights. They hide behind a protective cloak of constitutional privilege while acting to destroy our freedoms. Our freedoms were not won by defeatists — fair-weather patriots who crawl into hiding at the first sign of danger,” he said. “Nor does our strength stem from the ‘pseudo liberals’ of the extreme left nor the ‘pseudo patriots’ of the extreme right. We should not minimize the threat and challenge of communism for one moment, but we must guard against the hysterical and irrational approach,” he said.

He was honored by President Kennedy and received the cheers of a grateful nation. The President flew to Cape Canaveral, where the three-orbit flight started Tuesday, to tell the 40-year-old marine how “proud of him” his countrymen were. Then the President pinned NASA’s Distinguished Service Medal on the astronaut and read a citation that praised his “great professional skill,” his “unflinching courage” and his “extraordinary ability to perform most difficult tasks under conditions of great physical stress and personal danger.” At the ceremonies, Colonel Glenn modestly emphasized that the flight of almost five hours had been made possible only by a team effort of all government, industry, and military elements of Project Mercury. He said he had merely been the “figurehead.” On Monday, the extensive round of ceremonies is to resume with an appearance before a joint session of Congress. New York City will give him a ticker tape parade Thursday. His hometown of New Concord, Ohio, wants to honor him too, but plans are not yet firm.

Receiving the American Legion’s Distinguished Service Medal in the White House rose garden, Mr. Kennedy told several hundred Legionnaires: “We are only 6% of the world’s population, yet we carry this struggle in all parts of the globe.” Recalling the words of Thomas Paine, the Revolutionary War essayist, the President said, “The real patriot is not the sunshine patriot,” but the one who is willing to stand the long test of service. At the rose garden ceremony, the Chief Executive told the Legionnaires that the U.S. expected other countries to carry their share of the fight to protect freedom. But, he said, “we don’t suggest we should fail or flinch or become fatigued.”

Mar. 2, 1962 - President Kennedy said tonight he had ordered a resumption of nuclear tests in the atmosphere in late April unless the Soviet Union agreed in the interim to an iron-clad treaty banning all tests. Speaking on a nationwide television broadcast from the White House, the President held out to Premier Khrushchev the promise of a summit conference at which such a treaty could be signed. To head off a new series of tests by the U.S., Mr. Kennedy said, the Soviet Union will have to agree to “a fully effective treaty” before the latter part of April. Mr. Kennedy placed the need for renewed testing in the atmosphere was created by the Soviet Union and its massive series of more than 40 tests conducted last fall and winter.
Mar. 7, 1962 - Gen. Eisenhower and Sgt. Joseph DeLisio on The Battle of Remagen

Mar. 7, 1962 - The United States flag flew today on the Remagen railroad bridge over the Rhine, where 17 years ago G.I.’s forced their way across and shortened World War II. This time the Stars and Stripes flew alongside a German flag as a friendly reunion was held by the first American over the bridge and some of the German soldiers who had tried to stop the U.S. advance. About 500 spectators attended ceremonies marking the anniversary of the crossing. The crossing of the Rhine in 1945 signaled the fall of Nazi Germany’s last natural barrier to the West. The hero of the day was Sgt. Joseph DeLisio, 40 years old, who is now attached to the 24th Infantry Division in Augsburg. Sergeant DeLisio, who won the Distinguished Service Cross for cleaning out a machine-gun nest that was blocking the bridge, suggested today’s reunion.
Mar. 10, 1962 - President Kennedy's speech in Miami Beach
Real Time 1960s
Mar. 10, 1962 - President Kennedy declared tonight that the U.S. must be prepared to “shoulder the burden” of meeting the threat of communism abroad for the next 10 to 20 years. Otherwise, he told 3,000 Democrats at a dinner party in Miami Beach, “the whole cause of freedom fails.” The U.S., he declared, had become “the source of strength for the entire free world.” And it would be for this achievement, he said, that this generation of Americans would be longest remembered. Mr. Kennedy also took the unusual step of intervening openly in Florida’s Democratic primary. He urged the renomination of Senator George A. Smathers and Rep. Dante B. Fascell, both of whom have opponents in the primary May 8. A major accomplishment of the dinner was to raise more than $300,000 for the party, much of which will be used to finance efforts to win the four new House seats the state will have in the next Congress. Each diner paid $100 a plate for roast beef served in the ballroom of the Fontainebleau Hotel.

She also saw the Shalamar Gardens, of which she said: “It’s even lovelier than I dreamed.” Mrs. Kennedy spent an hour and a half at Lahore’s biggest social event of the year, the Pakistani National Horse and Cattle Show. Mrs. Kennedy gave some indication of her reaction to the hospitality shown her when she stood for 30 seconds before a microphone in the 320-year-old Shalamar Gardens, built by Moghul Emperor Shah Jahan. Spotlights shone on the First Lady as she related: “All my life I’ve dreamed of coming to the Shalamar Garden. I never thought I’d be lucky enough to have it happen. I only wish my husband could be with me and that we had something as romantic to show to President Ayub when he came to our country.” Later, the First Lady saw a military exercise performed by the West Pakistan Rangers. The horse given to Mrs. Kennedy is to be flown to the U.S. in a C-130 military plane.

Real Time 1960s
Apr. 9, 1962 - President Kennedy challenged adults today to continue trying to make the U.S. “a happy nursery” for children. The President spoke at the opening of a day-long 50th birthday party for the U.S. Children’s Bureau, a pioneer in advancing the well-being of children. The bureau was created during the Administration of President Taft. It is now an arm of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, headed by Secretary Abraham A. Ribicoff. Mr. Kennedy was smiling when he told 1,000 party-goers in the Statler Hilton Hotel: “This is a double birthday party today. The Children’s Bureau is 50 years old, and so is Secretary Ribicoff. This is an awkward birthday for the Secretary because he is too young to retire and too old to be President.” Mr. Ribicoff actually marked his 52nd birthday today. He is expected to leave his Cabinet post to seek a Senate seat from Connecticut this fall.

The day was cold and wet and the welcoming ceremonies at the National Airport had to be moved into a hangar. After the traditional 21-gun salute, the playing of the national anthems of Iran and the U.S., and the review of the honor guard, President Kennedy said to his royal guests: “Occupying as you do in Iran a most important strategic area, surrounded as you are by vital and powerful people, your country has been able to maintain its national independence century after century, until we come to the present date where, under great challenges, you lead that historic fight.” At the end of his formal welcome, the President turned to the Shah with a grin and said: “This is one of our wonderful spring days for which we are justly celebrated.” Replying, the Shah said that “today the name of America has a magic meaning for the most distant communities of the world” because “it is associated with freedom, progress, love of humanity, and justice.” At 12:30 p.m. tomorrow, the Shah will address a joint meeting of Congress.

After arriving at his news conference, the President strode quickly to the lectern and in a tone of cold anger read a long indictment of the steel companies’ action. At a time of grave crisis in Berlin and Southeast Asia, the President began, when reservists were being asked to leave their families, and servicemen to risk their lives, he found it hard “to accept a situation in which a tiny handful of steel executives” could show “such utter contempt for the interest of 185,000,000 Americans.” After reciting the probable effects of the action on the nation’s economy, the President ended: “Some time ago, I asked each American to consider what he would do for his country, and I asked the steel companies. In the last 24 hours, we had their answer.”

Real Time 1960s
Apr. 16, 1962 - Rearing children interferes with careers for women, according to President Kennedy. The observation was made in response to a question by Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, whom President Kennedy has named to head his new Committee on the Status of Women. In a taped interview for a television program to be shown June 2, Mrs. Roosevelt asked why more talented women in this country were not found in “higher positions, policy-making positions or legislative positions.” “Well,” the President answered, “I suppose it’s first the interruption in their careers that takes place in the lives of most women because of their keeping a family — raising children.” Look at Radcliffe, the President went on, referring to a recent study of that college’s graduates. “The curve of academic excellence at Radcliffe is higher than it is at Harvard,” he said. “What happens to those girls two or three years later? They get married, many of them become housewives, and all that talent is used in this family life but is not used outside.”

Real Time 1960s
Apr. 21, 1962 - President Kennedy opened the Seattle World’s Fair by remote control today. He voiced the hope that he was inaugurating “an era of peace and understanding among all mankind.” Twelve thousand persons seated in a stadium on the 74-acre Fair Grounds heard the President’s speech telephoned from Palm Beach, Fla. “Let the fair begin,” Mr. Kennedy proclaimed. Then at noon PST, he pressed a gold telegraph key that seven Presidents had used to dedicate earlier events. Its impulse was carried on telephone lines to Andover, Me., where the Bell Telephone System has a station for communicating with earth satellites. The resultant sound signal, transmitted over microwave radio and cable to Seattle, lighted a bank of lights above the speaker’s platform and activated a carillon of more than 500 bells in the fair’s 600-foot-high Space Needle. Seven years in the planning, the exposition was the first World’s Fair to be opened in this country for 22 years. The last one was the New York World’s Fair of 1939-40.

Real Time 1960s
May 4, 1962 - Malcolm X, Minister of Nation of Islam Mosque No. 7 in Harlem, traveled to Los Angeles and held a news conference today at the Statler-Hilton Hotel concerning the clash between police and Black Muslims on April 28 that resulted in the death of Muslim Ronald X Stokes. Mr. X accused Los Angeles Police Chief William H. Parker of "Gestapo tactics" and false propaganda. He charged that a squad of 75 officers shot or clubbed 16 Muslim members during the clash. The violence began, he said, when the police twisted the arm of an unarmed man. Later, he contended, the wounded were denied medical treatment for hours. Mr. X said that Muslims believe in “separation.” “Separation is the division of two equals,” he said. He said members of the Nation of Islam did not drink, smoke, or carry weapons. Mr. X said Muslims had achieved respect from the New York City police. “We want to clean up our own people,” he said. The Nation of Islam has been denounced by the NAACP and other Negro groups favoring integration. However, the Los Angeles branch of the NAACP protested “the unnecessary killing” and “brutality” of April 28 and has asked Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy to investigate.

Real Time 1960s
May 5, 1962 - Ronald Stokes, 29, went to his grave today with the ceremony normally accorded a fallen warrior. Mr. Stokes, a member of the Black Muslims, was shot to death last weekend during a battle with the Los Angeles police. White news reporters and photographers were barred from the services, held in the Muslim temple, Muhammad’s Lodge No. 27 at 5606 S. Broadway in Los Angeles. Two thousand persons crowded inside the two-story stucco structure. The women wore flowing white robes. The Muslims, with their short-cropped hair, black suits of conservative cut, white shirts, black shoes, and red or black ties, were easily recognized. Each wore on his lapel a membership pin the size of a quarter. The elite corps of the organization, known as the “Fruit of Islam,” formed lines outside the temple to keep undesirables from entering. Negro reporters were admitted and, according to them, the Black Muslims observed their usual policy of segregating women on one side of the temple and men on the other. They said that Malcolm X of New York, No. 2 man in the national organization, delivered a “stirring tribute” to Stokes. At a press conference Friday, Mr. X charged that Stokes and six other Black Muslims who were wounded in the fracas were victims of police brutality.
May 8, 1962 | JFK Remarks to U.A.W. Convention in Atlantic City, N.J.
Real Time 1960s
May 8, 1962 - President Kennedy (pictured with Walter Reuther) called on labor today to exercise restraint and responsibility in its bargaining demands. In a speech before the convention of the United Automobile Workers, the President made it clear that he expected labor as well as management to consider the general welfare and the public interest. He said that “no financial sleight of hand” could raise wages and profits faster than productivity without the threat of inflation. Unjustified wage demands, he said, can lead to recurring price and wage demands contrary to the national interest. “This Administration has not undertaken and will not undertake to fix prices and wages in this economy,” he said. The speech was delivered before a generally enthusiastic audience of 2,800 U.A.W. delegates and 8,000 visitors and friends. It was generally interpreted as the President’s answer to those who had wondered if he would talk as firmly to labor as he did to management after the steel price increase last month.

May 12, 1962 - Gen. Douglas MacArthur at West Point: "Duty, Honor, Country"
Real Time 1960s
May 12, 1962 - General Douglas MacArthur received the Sylvanus Thayer Award “for outstanding service to the nation” in ceremonies today at the U.S. Academy at West Point. The 82-year-old general, still an imposing figure, inspected the Corps of Cadets in a Brigade Review on the historic ground known as The Plain. Gen. MacArthur; Maj. Gen. William C. Westmoreland, Superintendent of the Military Academy; and the Brigade Commander, Cadet James R. Ellis of Birmingham, Ala., mounted a jeep for the formal inspection. In accepting the award, Gen. MacArthur extolled the West Point motto — “Duty, Honor, Country” — as an enduring guide and paid tribute to those who had adhered to it. The hall was hushed for 40 minutes as Gen. MacArthur addressed the cadets in deep, dramatic tones. “The shadows are lengthening for me,” he told the cadets. “Today marks my final roll call with you. I bid you farewell.” Gen. MacArthur, who was graduated first in his West Point class in 1903, served as Superintendent of the Military Academy from 1919 to 1922. The Thayer Award cited his service as a division commander in World War I, the Pacific Army commander in chief in World War II, and the Supreme Commander of U.N. forces in Korea.

May 17, 1962 - JFK Speaks at National Trade Conference
Real Time 1960s
May 17, 1962 - President Kennedy gave the United States’ European allies a reassurance and a warning today. The reassurance was that the U.S. would continue to bear its responsibility for the defense of Europe. The warning was that every European ally must do its share, that the American contribution to Western defense must not be taken for granted, and that the U.S., as the biggest contributor, intended to be in on decisions. The President spoke out on the troubled alliance in two public appearances — an afternoon news conference and a speech tonight before the Conference on Trade Policy. He was presumably directing his remarks to President de Gaulle of France and, to a lesser degree, to Chancellor Adenauer of West Germany. President de Gaulle’s vision of a separatist Western Europe, as expounded in a news conference Tuesday in Paris, has caused consternation and some anger in the Administration — the more so because there has been some fear that Chancellor Adenauer was being won over. The French President set as an “essential objective” of his policy the eventual formation of a Western European alliance within a looser Atlantic alliance. The inner alliance, President de Gaulle made clear, would be based on the joint leadership of France and West Germany and would be relatively independent of the U.S., Britain, and Canada. With its own nuclear force, it would provide a strictly European balance of power against the Soviet bloc.

May 19, 1962 - Marilyn Monroe Sings "Happy Birthday" to President Kennedy
Real Time 1960s
May 19, 1962 - A high point of President Kennedy’s Birthday Salute at Madison Square Garden tonight was the entrance of Marilyn Monroe, who sashayed onto the stage attired in a great bundle of white mink following an introduction by Peter Lawford. Due to a slight delay before her entrance, Mr. Lawford introduced her as “the late Marilyn Monroe.” Arriving at the lectern, Miss Monroe turned and swept the furs from her shoulders. A slight gasp rose from the audience of 15,000 before it was realized that she was wearing a skin-tight, flesh-toned gown. Then, in a sultry, intimate voice, Miss Monroe sang: “Happy Birthday, Mr. President.” She continued the song with a snippet from the classic song, “Thanks for the Memory,” for which she had written new lyrics specifically aimed at Mr. Kennedy. “Thanks, Mr. President, for all the things you've done, the battles that you've won, the way you deal with U.S. Steel, and our problems by the ton. We thank you so much.” Afterwards, as a large birthday cake was presented to him, President Kennedy came on stage and joked about Miss Monroe's version of the song, saying, "I can now retire from politics after having had Happy Birthday sung to me in such a sweet, wholesome way.”

The new block-long, four-story building is being built across from the Capitol. The President paid tribute to Mr. Rayburn, who was Speaker of the House longer than anyone else until his death Nov. 16. “His great skill and lasting contribution,” said the President, was his ability to achieve harmony between Congress and the Executive branch. Chief Justice Earl Warren and about 75 members of Congress sat under the broiling sun on a platform with the President while several hundred spectators watched from the shade of nearby trees. The new building will be the third for House office suites and committee rooms after its scheduled completion in Aug. 1964.

Real Time 1960s
May 31, 1962 - President Kennedy announced today a $12.6 million mass social experiment on the Lower East Side of New York. It is part of a program designed to strike at the national juvenile delinquency problem. The three-year project, called Mobilization for Youth, will be financed by Federal, city, and private funds. The program’s announcement was made in the White House garden just outside the President’s office. Attending were Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy; Abraham A. Ribicoff, Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare; Secretary of Labor Arthur Goldberg; New York City Mayor Wagner, and members of the New York Congressional Delegation. Using the Lower East Side as a giant laboratory, project officials will seek to reform the social patterns of an entire community as a way of guiding youth into the accepted patterns of American life. There will be an Urban Youth Service Corps to provide jobs for 16-to-21-year-olds, an Adventure Corps along paramilitary lines for boys 9 to 16, coffee shops featuring art and folk music, and improved welfare services to “troubled” families.

July 5, 1962 - President Kennedy broke six months of silence on civil defense today and expressed hope for prompt Congressional action on his proposals for fallout shelters. Referring to apparent public and Congressional apathy on civil defense, the President told his news conference: “These matters have some rhythm; when the skies are clear, no one is interested. Suddenly, then, when the clouds come — after all, we have no assurance that they will not come — then everyone wants to find out why more has not been done. I think the time to do it is now.” The heart of the President’s program for 1963 is a $460 million “shelter incentive.” This is a subsidy designed to help schools, hospitals, and other local nonprofit organizations build community fallout shelters.

July 10, 1962 - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and a fellow minister went to jail today in Albany, Ga., to emphasize their nonviolent defiance of racial barriers. Dr. King and the Rev. Ralph Abernathy were convicted of having violated a city ordinance by leading a street demonstration without a permit last Dec. 16. They were sentenced to pay $178 in fines or spend 45 days in jail. They spurned both the fines and freedom on bond and went to jail to await assignment to prison work gangs. The integrationist leader assailed both the Albany law and the court that had convicted him. He called them unjust and said he would be “just as wrong if I paid a fine under the circumstances.” Dr. King said that he was courting neither martyrdom nor publicity but merely expressing his conviction on the principles involved.

July 17, 1962 - JFK Statement on Defeat of Health Care Bill
Real Time 1960s
July 17, 1962 - The Senate today rejected President Kennedy’s program of health care for the aged under Social Security by a roll-call vote of 52-48. The action ended any hope for Congressional approval of such legislation at this session. President Kennedy went before television cameras an hour after the vote to express his reaction in angry terms. He called it “a most serious defeat for every American family.” He also affirmed his intention to carry the issue to the voters in the Congressional elections in November. “We have to decide in the 1962 Congressional elections whether we want to stand still or whether we want to support this kind of legislation for the benefit of the people,” he said. Defections of Southern Democrats were decisive in today’s vote; only four supported the Administration. There were two surprise defections by non-Southerners as well. One was Senator Jennings Randolph of West Virginia. The other was the Senate’s 84-year-old President Pro-Tempore, Carl Hayden of Arizona.

Real Time 1960s
July 19, 1962 - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today became the first American Negro to address the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. Dr. King expounded the merits of non-violent civil disobedience. At the end of his speech, he received a standing ovation. The beauty of the nonviolent drive to wipe out racial barriers at lunch counters, libraries, swimming pools, and other institutions, Dr. King said, is that it can be founded on love, not hate. “Hate is always tragic,” he said. “It is as injurious to the hater as to the hated. It distorts the personality and scars the soul. Psychiatrists tell us that many of the inner conflicts and strange things that happen in the subconscious are rooted in hate. So they are saying, ‘Love or perish.’ You can struggle without hating; you can fight war without violence.” It is true, he said that sometimes he and his followers have broken laws. But there are just laws, he said, and then there are unjust ones that a moral person should violate, and then accept the penalty. “What was more in line with civil disobedience than the Boston tea party?” he asked.

Aug. 17, 1962 - Press Conference on the Death of Marilyn Monroe
Real Time 1960s
Aug. 17, 1962 - The coroner of Los Angeles, Dr. Theodore J. Curphey, announced today that Marilyn Monroe’s death was probably a suicide. The cause was an overdose of barbiturates. He said toxicologists had also discovered that the 36-year-old film star had taken a large dose of chloral hydrate, commonly known as “knockout drops.” The coroner’s summary confirmed reports that Miss Monroe had attempted more than once to take her life with an overdose of sedatives. On these previous attempts, she had called for help and was rescued. It has not been established whether or not Miss Monroe had tried to call for help before she died. A telephone was on her bed with her when she was found. Dr. Curphey did not classify Miss Monroe as a drug addict, though she took small to moderate doses of barbiturates daily. It was stated that Miss Monroe had “experienced severe fears and frequent depressions” and had been taking sedatives for years because of insomnia. “She was thus familiar with and experienced in the use of sedative drugs and well aware of their dangers,” said Dr. Curphey.

Aug. 22, 1962 - JFK Speaks Out on Space Race
Real Time 1960s
Aug. 22, 1962 - The United States is “well behind” the Soviet Union in the space race, President Kennedy asserted today, but he repeated his belief that the nation would forge ahead of the Russians before the end of this decade. At his first news conference since the two newest Soviet astronauts circled the earth in adjacent orbits last week, the President candidly discussed the current disadvantage of the U.S. in space. “Anybody who attempts to suggest that we’re not behind” the Russians is misleading the public, the President said. But the Soviet feat apparently has not changed the President’s original estimate that the U.S. would be the first to put a man on the moon. In his remarks today, he laid heavy emphasis on the “tremendous effort” of the U.S. in “trying to overtake” the Russians despite a late start. This effort is evident in the fact that 40% of all American research and development funds are being spent on space work, he said. This year the Administration has submitted a space budget “which was greater than the combined eight space budgets of the previous eight years,” he said.

The President expressed confidence that the Vice President’s trip “will produce fruitful results” and have the same impact as his trip to West Berlin last year. His mission was regarded by officials in Washington as more than just a goodwill tour, especially in Iran, Turkey, and Greece. These three nations are economically troubled allies of the U.S. on the Soviet-bloc periphery. The Vice President, in talks with the leaders of these countries, is expected to emphasize continuing U.S. support despite its new shift in favor of a self-help policy for foreign aid recipients.

The setting was an hourlong debate at South Boston High School between Mr. Kennedy and Edward J. McCormack Jr. Both are seeking the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate seat once held by the President. The President’s youngest brother heard himself charged with lack of qualifications, maturity, and judgment and was told that if his name were anything but Kennedy, his candidacy “would be a joke.” Mr. McCormack told Mr. Kennedy: “You never worked for a living; you never held elective office; you are not running on qualifications; you are running on a slogan ‘he can do more for Massachusetts.’ This is the most insulting slogan I have ever seen. It says, ‘Vote for this man because he has influence, connections, relatives.’” The Massachusetts primary is Sept. 18.

Aug. 29, 1962 - Felix Frankfurter has retired from active service on the Supreme Court after 23 years as an associate justice. President Kennedy made the announcement at his news conference today and said he would appoint Arthur J. Goldberg, Secretary of Labor, to the vacancy. Justice Frankfurter, who is 79, has been away from the court since he suffered a mild stroke last April 5. He had hoped to return when the new term opens Oct. 1, but concluded that this would be medically unwise. Mr. Goldberg, 54, will bring to the bench a long background as a leading labor lawyer. He will be the fourth Jewish person to sit on the Supreme Court. The others have been Justice Frankfurter and Justices Louis D. Brandeis and Benjamin N. Cardozo. The President praised Justice Frankfurter for his impact on the court and termed Mr. Goldberg “superbly qualified” as a successor. Reaction on Capitol Hill indicated that confirmation of Mr. Goldberg would be forthcoming. Leaders of both parties expressed satisfaction with Mr. Kennedy’s choice.

Real Time 1960s
Aug. 29, 1962 - President Kennedy firmly rejected today Congressional suggestions that the U.S. invade Cuba because of the alleged presence there of Soviet combat troops. Mr. Kennedy said at his news conference that the U.S. still had “no evidence” that Communist bloc troops were in Cuba and that the Government continued to believe that the military personnel arriving there were advisers. He went on to say that an invasion would be “a mistake” and added that all U.S. actions in relation to Cuba must be considered within “the totality of our obligation” in the world. The latest suggestion for an invasion of Cuba was made earlier this week by Sen. Homer E. Capehart (R-Ind.), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Senator Capehart had urged an invasion to halt what he called the flow of Soviet troops and supplies to Cuba. Later in the day, Sen. Alexander Wiley of Wisconsin, the ranking Republican member of the Foreign Relations Committee, urged creation of an inter-American “peace fleet” to prevent shipments of Communist military supplies to Cuba. The President said: “We are continuing to watch what happens in Cuba with the closest attention.” Intelligence estimates are that 2,500 Communist bloc military technicians and 3,000 Communist civilian technicians are in Cuba.

Alexander Wiley of Wisconsin, the ranking Republican member of the Foreign Relations Committee, urged creation of an inter-American “peace fleet” to prevent shipments of Communist military supplies to Cuba. The President said: “We are continuing to watch what happens in Cuba with the closest attention.” Intelligence estimates are that 2,500 Communist bloc military technicians and 3,000 Communist civilian technicians are in Cuba.

Sept. 25, 1962 - Confrontation between Mississippi Gov. Barnett and John Doar of the Justice Dept.
Real Time 1960s
Sept. 25, 1962 - Gov. Ross R. Barnett, in open defiance of a Federal Court order, prevented James H. Meredith, a 29-year-old Negro, from enrolling today in the University of Mississippi. It marked the second time that he had thwarted execution of desegregation decrees of the U.S. District Court, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, and the Supreme Court. Despite a restraining order issued against him earlier today by the Court of Appeals, Gov. Barnett blocked the doorway of the university trustees’ office in Jackson when Mr. Meredith appeared to register. Mr. Barnett first refused to accept a copy of a summons directing him to appear before the Court of Appeals in New Orleans. He then read a brief proclamation to Mr. Meredith and the Federal officials who accompanied him. They were John Doar, an official in the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, and James P. McShane, Chief U.S. Marshal. The proclamation ended with the statement that the Governor did “finally deny you admission to the University of Mississippi.” Mr. Meredith, who had come to Jackson from New Orleans, returned there tonight. A further showdown is expected tomorrow, when he is expected to go to the university campus at Oxford, 170 miles north of Jackson, in an attempt to begin classes.

Sept. 30, 1962 - JFK Report to the Nation on Situation at University of Mississippi
Real Time 1960s
Sept. 30, 1962 - President Kennedy appealed tonight to the students at the University of Mississippi and the people of Mississippi to comply peacefully with Federal law and bring the desegregation crisis to an end. “The eyes of the nation and all the world are upon you and upon all of us,” he said, “and the honor of your university and state are in the balance.” The President spoke to the nation on television less than an hour after Governor Ross Barnett pulled back from his all-out defiance of Federal authority. The Governor indicated he would no longer attempt to block the enrollment of James H. Meredith, a Negro, at the University of Mississippi. Mr. Kennedy expressed cautious hope that the great Federal-state conflict, the gravest since the Civil War, was coming to a peaceful end. But he qualified his optimism and made clear that the Government was waiting anxiously to see how Mississippi officials and citizens behaved. There was still great concern in Washington tonight about violence at the university in Oxford.

Oct. 22, 1962 - JFK Address During Cuban Missile Crisis
Real Time 1960s
Oct. 22, 1962 - President Kennedy imposed a naval and air “quarantine” tonight on the shipment of offensive military equipment to Cuba. In a speech of extraordinary gravity, he told the American people that the Soviet Union, contrary to promises, was building offensive missile and bomber bases in Cuba. He said the bases could handle missiles carrying nuclear warheads up to 2,000 miles. A critical moment in the cold war is at hand tonight. The President had decided on a direct confrontation with — and challenge to — the power of the Soviet Union. Two aspects of the speech were notable. One was its direct thrust at the Soviet Union as the party responsible for the crisis. Mr. Kennedy treated Cuba and the Government of Premier Fidel Castro as a mere pawn in Moscow’s hands and drew the issue as one with the Soviet Government. The President, in language of unusual bluntness, accused the Soviet leaders of deliberately “false statements about their intentions in Cuba.” The other notable aspect of the speech was its flat commitment by the U.S. to act alone against the missile threat in Cuba. The President made it clear that this country would not stop short of military action to end what he called a “clandestine, reckless, and provocative threat to world peace.”
