The following events occurred in January 1959:

January 1, 1959 (Thursday)

January 2, 1959 (Friday)
  • The Soviet Union successfully launched the Luna 1 satellite from Baikonur Cosmodrome. Luna 1 would become the first man-made object to escape the pull of the Earth's gravity and the first man-made object to orbit the Sun.[4]
  • As Castro's rebel forces rolled into Havana, the 32-year-old leader named Dr. Manuel Urrutia Lleo as President of Cuba.[5]

  • Died: William D. Francis, 69, Australian botanist

January 3, 1959 (Saturday)
Alaska
Suvadive Republic
  • Alaska was proclaimed as the 49th U.S. state by President Dwight D. Eisenhower at 12:02 p.m. in Washington. A new American flag, with seven staggered rows, each with seven stars, was introduced. Given that a 50th state might soon be admitted, the 49-state flag was not widely produced, and Eisenhower added, "With limited exceptions, agencies of the Federal Government will continue to display the 48-star flag so long as it is still in good condition and until existing stocks of unused flags are exhausted. It is appropriate for all citizens to do the same."[8]
  • Separatists in the Maldivian islands of Suvadiva, Addu and Fua Mulaku declared independence. Abdullah Aleef proclaimed the United Suvadive Republic, which was crushed by Maldivian troops later that year.[9]
  • Died: Edwin Muir, 71, Scottish poet, novelist and translator

January 4, 1959 (Sunday)
  • At 0259 GMT, the Luna 1 satellite became the first man-made object to enter into an orbit around the Sun, making it our solar system's first artificial planet. Because the second-stage engine shutdown command from the Soviet space center was received slightly late, Luna 1 did not land on the Moon as planned, and but passed within 5,965 kilometres (3,706 mi) before passing into heliocentric orbit. [10] [11] U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower congratulated Soviet scientist on achieving "a great stride forward in man's advance into the infinite reaches of outer space", while House leader John W. McCormack commented that "it is time America awoke to its peril".[12] Russian astrophysicist Ivan Shevchenko would comment nearly 60 years later, "[W]ho cares at present where is Luna-1... called a man-made 'tenth' planet? Of course, this remark does not mean that a study of the long-term motion of Luna-1 may lead to a theoretical breakthrough." [13]
  • Riots broke out in Léopoldville (now Kinshasa) in the Congo after police broke up a meeting of the independence group ABAKO. After two days, at least 49 people had been killed.[14][15]

January 5, 1959 (Monday)
  • New York Herald-Tribune columnist Marie Torre went to jail for a 10-day sentence for contempt of court rather than reveal her source for a 1957 story about Judy Garland. Torre was imprisoned on the seventh floor of the Hudson County Jail in Jersey City.[16] She was released on her tenth day on January 14, without disclosing her information.[17] Torre, later to become a television anchorperson in Pittsburgh, would be recalled after her death in 1997 as "the first reporter to gain national attention for going to jail for refusing to identify a news source."[18]
  • Four British balloonists were rescued at sea, 19 days after contact was lost during their attempt to sail across the Atlantic. The Small World had set off from the Canary Islands on December 12, bound for Barbados. A fishing vessel located the floating gondola and brought the three men and one woman the rest of the way.[19]
  • Democrat Pat Brown took office as Governor of California, succeeding Republican Goodwin Knight.
  • Born: Clancy Brown, American actor (Carnivàle); in Urbana, Ohio

January 6, 1959 (Tuesday)
  • In Bowling Green, Virginia, Mildred and Richard Loving were found guilty of a felony for violating Virginia Code §20-59, the law against miscegenation. [20] Richard was white, Mildred was black, and they had married in Washington, D.C., on June 2, 1958, then returned to live with her parents in Central Point. They were arrested ten days later. Judge Leon M. Bazile sentenced them each to a year in jail, suspending the sentence on condition that they leave Virginia for 25 years.[21] Mr. and Mrs. Loving moved to Washington, D.C., but in 1963 they filed a motion in the court to vacate the judgment. After Virginia's highest court upheld the law, the Lovings appealed to the United States Supreme Court. On June 12, 1967, in the case of Loving v. Virginia, the Court ruled as unconstitutional the Virginia law, and similar laws in 15 other states.[22]
  • In the House of Representatives, Joseph W. Martin's 20-year reign as leader of the House Republicans ended by a 74–70 vote of the GOP causus. Martin, who had been Speaker of the House from 1947 to 1949, was replaced by Charles A. Halleck of Indiana.[23]

January 14, 1959 (Wednesday)
  • Antarctic explorers from Japan were stunned to find alive two of the 15 Karafuto husky dogs that they had abandoned eleven months earlier. A six-man advance party had helicoptered from the ship Soya to reopen the base on Ongul Island. Masami Muriyama radioed back that the dogs greeted them with tails wagging, and were in good condition. The next day, Japan was in celebration, with hourly updates on the radio, and a headline "in type normally reserved for the outbreak of war" announcing "TWO DOGS SURVIVE!"[41] The story was recounted in the 1983 film Nankyoku Monogatari and the inspiration for the 2006 Disney film Eight Below.
  • Japan's Crown Prince and future Emperor, Prince Akihito, announced his engagement to commoner Michiko Shoda, breaking tradition. His proposal included traditional gifts of sea bream, rice wine, and five rolls of silk, and was sealed by a prayer to his ancestors in three Shinto shrines.[42]

  • In Montgomery, Alabama, Circuit Judge George C. Wallace was cited for contempt of court for defying an order by U.S. District Judge Frank M.

  • Andrija Artukovic, wanted for Nazi war crimes from his role as an official in the puppet state of Croatia, was allowed to stay in the United States after a federal commissioner ruled against Yugoslavia's request for extradition.

Former 49er Gordy Soltau was introduced as owner of the San Francisco franchise in a projected six team league with Los Angeles, Vancouver, Seattle, Houston and Dallas. The season was to start in February 1960 and run until late May, and expressed plans to use retired and off-season players from the Rams and the 49ers. The NARFL, however, did not materialize.[49]

    • Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer, 31, former American child actor known for the Little Rascals, was shot and killed in North Hollywood during a fight with Bud Stilz, whom Switzer confronted over a claimed debt.

  • Twelve coal miners were killed when water breached the River Slope Mine in Port Griffith, Pennsylvania.[57]
  • At the Italian Chamber of Deputies, there was a harsh confrontation between the Fanfani cabinet and opposition members, of right and of left, about the “Giuffrè affair” (arising from the so-called “God’s banker” Giovan Battista Giuffrè, creator of a Ponzi scheme under the cover of a society financing pious works). A motion approving the actions of the ministers Giulio Andreotti and Luigi Preti passed with just a vote of majority.[58] Fanfani and his government resigned four days later.

Summerfield, who, in 1955, had successfully changed corner mail boxes from olive drab to red, white and blue, added that "If Congress provides us with sufficient funds, you may be assured that mail-carrying rocket missiles will be painted with the traditional colors-- red, white and blue-- of which every American is justly proud."[60]

Among the 112 passengers was poet Carl Sandburg who said,"We salute the intelligence and the daring of man that has wrought this strange and blessed device, now so familiarly known as the passenger jet plane." After California's First Lady, Bernice Brown, pushed the button to start the engines, Captain C.A. McAtee took off at 9:01 a.m. and arrived in New York 4 hours, 3 minutes later.

  • The Convair 880 jet airliner made its first flight, taking off from San Diego and returning after two hours. The jet, fastest up to that time, got its name from its speed of 880 feet per second (600 m.p.h.) but the planes had high operational costs and complicated electrical systems. The last was flown in 1975.[69]
  • In Florence, a 20-day long sit-in strike at the Galileo optical instruments factory was forcibly broken up by police, and the factory owners announced an immediate layoff of 980 employees who had supported the strikers.
