The RCA cartridge next to the smaller improvement [2]
  • The RCA tape cartridge, a forerunner of 1963's "compact cassette" that would become the industry standard, was demonstrated in a press conference by the RCA company as the first tape recording system that was enclosed in its own case and saved users from having to thread a tape machine. The "Stereo-Tape Cartridge" was 7 inches (180 mm) long by 5 inches (130 mm) wide (compared to the 4" by 2.5" cassette used later), and its 0.5 inches (13 mm) width tape could only be used on RCA equipment.[3]
  • A doubleheader between two Negro American League teams was played at New York City's Yankee Stadium and attracted 9,506 spectators, including scouts from six of the 16 major league teams.

  • All 45 people aboard Aeromexico Flight 111 were killed when the Lockheed Constellation crashed shortly after takeoff from Guadalajara with a destination of Mexico City, in the deadliest aviation accident in Mexico up to that time.[5][6]

  • In San Simeon, California, Hearst Castle opened to the public for guided tours.[7]
  • In Washington D.C., Mildred Jeter and Richard Loving were married and then moved back to Central Point, Virginia, where both had been raised. Because Mildred was black and Loving was White, the two were arrested on June 12 for violating Virginia Code §20-59, the state's law against miscegenation and interracial marriage. Convicted of breaking the law, but each receiving a one-year jail sentence, suspended on condition that they leave Virginia until 1984, Mr. and Mrs. Loving left Virginia but, in 1963, would file a motion in the Caroline County court to vacate the sentence. Their appeal would lead to the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision in Loving v. Virginia, finding unanimously that all state laws against interracial marriage were a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The case would be cited in a 2015 Supreme Court decision, Obergefell v. Hodges, holding that restrictions against same-sex marriage in the U.S. unconstitutional as well.

  • By a vote of 350 to 161, France's parliament approved a constitutional law to empower the government of new premier Charles de Gaulle to draft a new constitution and to grant de Gaulle and his cabinet a six month period allowing the government to rule by decree, with some exceptions for basic rights of citizens. De Gaulle had threatened to resign immediately if the emergency power was not granted.[8] The upper house of the parliament, the Council of the Republic voted, 256 to 30, to yield the power to reform the constitution to the De Gaulle government.[9] The new constitution would create the French Fifth Republic, a system of government providing for more power to an elected president.

  • Tim Tam, the thoroughbred racehorse who had won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, seemed poised to be the first winner of U.S. horse racing's Triple Crown as the favorite (with 3-20 odds) in the Belmont Stakes, but broke a sesamoid bone and went lame a quarter of a mile before the finish line.

After the 1958 election, Salazar decreed that the president would be elected by the National Assembly rather than by direct popular vote.

  • The Daily News, New York City's most-read newspaper, broke the story that White House Chief of Staff Sherman Adams was under investigation by a U.S. House of Representatives Special Subcommittee on Legislative Oversight.[32] Two days later, U.S. President Eisenhower's press secretary, James C. Hagerty, was asked about rumors that Adams had accepted expensive gifts from a friend, Bernard Goldfine, despite federal law prohibiting the practice. According to the New York Daily News, Adams had accepted a $2,400 Oriental rug (equivalent to in price to $24,000 sixty years later). Another reporter asked about a $700 vicuna wool coat and $2,000 of bills that Goldfine had paid for Adams for stays at Boston's Sheraton Plaza hotel.[33] The scandal would force Adams, who had been the chief aide from the start of Eisenhower's presidency, to resign.
  • United Nations Security Council Resolution 128 was passed, 10 votes to none (with the Soviet Union abstaining rather than voting in favor or using its veto power), bringing the UN into the civil war in Lebanon.[34] The resolution authorized the creation of the United Nations Observation Group in Lebanon (UNOSIL), a nonmilitary international group to verify that outside aid was not being provided to either side from beyond Lebanon's borders.

  • The People's Republic of China released two imprisoned American Roman Catholic priests, Reverend Joseph P. McCormack and Reverend Cyril P. Wagner, after both had served five years' incarceration on convictions of espionage. A third priest, James Edward Walsh, had been given an exit visa but refused to leave because he wanted to continue his ministry in Shanghai, and would remain until 1970. McCormack and Wagner departed China on a British ship, Changsha, on June 18. Four other Americans, John T. Downey, Hugh F. Redmond, Richard C. Facteau, and Robert E. Cann, remained incarcerated.[41]
  • Britain's BBC television network began showing The Black and White Minstrel Show,[42] a popular variety show that would run for 20 seasons,[43][unreliable source?] despite its use of white singers in blackface (billed as "The Mitchell Minstrels") and no players of African descent. The show's comedy was based on American minstrel shows and featured stereotypes of African-American speech and manners.

With giveaways, national marketing and retailing, a fad would spread eastward across the United States.[48]
  • The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the case of Kent v. Dulles, 5 to 4, that the U.S. State Department could not withhold issuing passports to Americans based on suspicion of disloyalty to the U.S., invalidating a federal regulation on grounds that it was not authorized by Congress. The Court avoided the question of whether such a regulation would be unconstitutional.[49] The State Department responded to the Kent decision on June 24 by removing questions about Communist Party membership from its passport applications and issuing passports to those persons who had left the answer blank.[50]
  • A Cruzeiro do Sul airliner in Brazil crashed, killing all but five passengers out of a total of 26 people on board.

  • A U.S. District Court judge in Arkansas issued an order allowing the school board of Little Rock a two-and-a-half year delay in implementing racial desegregation of its schools, allowing Central High School to revert to its all-white status for the 1958-1959, 1959-1960 and 1960-1961 school years. The seven remaining African-American students at Central High were to be denied from returning to the school in the autumn. Judge Harry J. Lemley wrote, "... While the Negro students at Little Rock have a personal interest in being admitted to the public schools on a nondiscriminatory basis as soon as practicable, that interest is only one factor of the equation," adding "there is also another public interest involved, eliminating or at least ameliorating the unfortunate racial strife and tension which existed in Little Rock during the past year and still exists there."[59]

  • The first coronation ceremony in Norway was held in more than 50 years after being eliminated by an amendment of the constitution in 1908. King Olav V, who had ascended the throne on September 21, had convinced the government of Prime Minister Einar Gerhardsen that an event should be held to acknowledge the King's commencement of duties as head of the Church of Norway, if not the nation's monarch. For the "Signing til kongsgjerning" ("Blessing of the King's Reign"), King Olav sat upon the coronation throne in Trondheim to listen to a sermon, after which he knelt as Bishop Arne Fjellbu recited a prayer while placing a hand upon the King's head. No crown was used.

  • A mob of hundreds of rioters in Moscow attacked West Germany's Embassy in the Soviet Union, in apparent retaliation for demonstrations against the Soviet Union in West Germany's capital, Bonn, a week earlier. The crowd smashed 40 large windows and hurling stones, bricks, chunks of iron, bottles and burning rags at the building. The attack went on for two hours with no intervention by police.[64]
  • In a 7 to 2 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court published Miller v. United States, holding that a person cannot lawfully be arrested in one's home without the officers first giving notice of their authority and purpose. Because evidence seized in the raid by federal agents in the home of an accused drug dealer, 17-year-old William Miller of Washington D.C., was done without a warrant or an announcement of why the law enforcement agents were at his home, the evidence seized from Miller and two of his partners was not admissible and the charges were dismissed.[65]

  • Cuban rebels led by Raúl Castro began the taking of North American hostages, kidnapping 10 American and two Canadian mining company employees.[74] The next day, the Cubans kidnapped 24 U.S. servicemen who had been on leave from the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base.[75] All the hostages were treated well, and would ultimately be released, starting with four American civilians and one Canadian civilian on July 2.[76]
  • The 71-year-old iron barque Omega, a Peruvian sailing ship and freighter that had been built in Liverpool in 1887 as the British ship Drumcliff, sank after springing a leak. As the world's last full-rigged ship trading under sail alone, the ship sank while carrying a cargo of guano from the Pachacamac Islands for Huacho. The ship's captain, Juan Anibal Escobar Hurtado, was accused by the Peruvian government of deliberately sinking the ship and was never cleared, despite his efforts to show that the sinking was due to the ship's age and poor maintenance.[77]

  • A U.S. Air Force C-118 airplane, with nine crew aboard, flew 106 miles (171 km) into Soviet airspace after crossing the U.S.S.R.'s border with Turkey into the Armenian SSR and was captured in the Azerbaijan SSR near Yevlakh. According to a protest note delivered to the U.S. Ambassador in Moscow, two Soviet fighters signaled the American plane to follow them to the nearest landing field and "The intruder did not comply." The plane finally landed "on Soviet territory 240 kilometres (150 mi) from the place where it violated the state frontier of the Soviet Union and burned up",[78] apparently from the crew's destruction of the plane after departing.[79] Five of the U.S. airmen were beaten by angry Russian peasants shortly after parachuting to the ground and one, Major Bennie A. Shupe, was confronted by a lynch mob, commenting later that "They threw a rope over the crossarm of a telephone pole. I have no doubt they were going to hang me." Shupe said that after he made it clear that he was an American, the mob backed off and Soviet soldiers took the U.S. men into custody, where they were treated well.[80] The nine men would be released on July 7 and transported to the Iranian city of Astara on the border between the U.S.S.R.'s Azerbaijan SSR and Iran.
  • The Peronist Party became legal again in Argentina.
  • An attempt by the U.S. Air Force to set a world speed record for four KC-135 tanker planes resulted in tragedy when the third of the four planes crashed on takeoff from Westover Air Force Base in Springfield, Massachusetts. The airplane stalled, skidded across the Massachusetts Turnpike, and burst into flames, killing all 15 persons aboard, six of whom were newspaper reporters assigned to cover the story.[81][82]
  • The last original episode of The Frank Sinatra Show was telecast on the ABC network in the U.S., after which the superstar singer retired permanently from weekly television shows.

The final episode was a play called "The Seedling Doubt", presented by Sinatra as host, but not featuring him as an actor.[83][unreliable source?]
