Events on This Day
1753 - George Washington became a Master Mason on this day.1790 - U.S. Coast Guard had its beginnings this day. Congress authorized the President to build and equip ten boats to collect revenue, and provide for a complement of officers and men to operate them. This early service known as the Revenue Marine (later the Revenue Cutter Service) represented an attempt to counter a serious smuggling problem that had tremendous financial impact on the nation’s ability to enforce its laws at sea.
1821 - The Saturday Evening Post was published as a weekly for the first time.
1922 - Every telephone in the U.S. and Canada went dead as the Bell System shut down all its switchboards and switching stations for one minute in memory of Alexander Graham Bell, who had died two days earler. During this time, none of the 13 million telephones in operation could be used.
1927 - Radio station 2XAG, later named WGY, the General Electric station in Schenectady, NY, began experimental operations from a 100,000-watt transmitter.

1927 - Singer Jimmie Rodgers recorded his first sides for Victor Records in Bristol, TN. He sang Sleep Baby Sleep and Soldier’s Sweetheart.
1934 - Mel Ott became the first major-league baseball player to score six runs in a single game.
1940 - Crime Doctor introduced a new kind of radio hero to audiences. The CBS radio program presented Dr. Benjamin Ordway, the show’s main character, who was a victim of amnesia. He once was a criminal, but got hit on the head, and suddenly began to work as a crime fighter. Nice twist.
1944 - Nazi police discovered Anne Frank and her family, hiding in secret quarters above her father’s factory in Amsterdam, Holland. Miss Frank was 15 years old and had kept a diary of her feelings, thoughts and fears during the two years of hiding from the Nazis. Anne and her sister were taken to a concentration camp following the arrest. Anne Frank died at Bergen-Belsen. Her diary was found later and has since been translated into 30 different languages, adapted as a dramatic play and a Hollywood film. Her diary is a symbol of the strength of the human spirit. She wrote: “I keep on trying to find a way of becoming what I would like to be and what I could be, if there weren’t any other people living in the world.”
1954 - A prototype of Great Britain’s first supersonic fighter plane, the English Electric Lightning P-1, made its maiden flight on this day.

1957 - Juan Fangio won his final auto race and captured the world auto driving championship -- for the fifth consecutive year.

James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner had disappeared June 21, not long after they had been held for six hours in the Neshoba County, MS jail on charges of speeding. Their burned car was discovered on June 23, prompting a search by the FBI for the three young men.
1968 - A private Cessna 150 collided with a North Central Airlines Convair 580 airliner near Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

1987 - The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted 4-0 to rescind the Fairness Doctrine, ruling that it violated the First Amendment rights of broadcasters.
