Pastore Wins Hearts with Roosevelt-Era Keynote
Senator Pastore delivered a brisk keynote praising the Johnson era and civil rights strides while criticizing the Republicans as extremists. He tempered partisan praise with calls for unity, credited Republicans for civil rights votes, and framed the Democratic platform as strong yet palatable to Southern conservatives. The speech, though partisan, echoed classic keynote tradition and urged Johnson’s continuation.

MWD Holds Tax Line No Increase For 1964 65
The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California will not raise its tax rate for the 1964 65 fiscal year. Directors have kept the rate at a level for 19 straight years, with the 1946 rate at 50 cents per $100 and now 14 cents. Long Beach users have paid about 2.5 million in taxes since 1931, a sum far higher then current facilities would cost. Colorado River water supplies provide about 60 percent of local needs.

Reform calendar reform movement spans continents
A century old Catholic influence by Marco Mastrofini sparked a world calendar reform movement in 1910 led by the International Chamber of Commerce. Support grew to 38 countries with plans for a single unified year and fixed holidays, but promotion stalled as no single group championed it in Congress or the United Nations. The World Calendar Association, once based in New York, faded from public records, raising questions about its current existence and future prospects.
