Harry Reasoner may have been substituting for Cronkite; I think
I've seen that same listing in the Atlanta edition of TV Guide.

As for ABC daytime, "Day In Court" did air at 1, "Jane Wyman
Presents" at 2. June 29 was the last broadcast of "Window
Shopping" (12:30); the new lineup, starting July 2 (and also the
first ABC daytime lineup I remember because WRAL Raleigh switched
from NBC to ABC on August 1) was:

11 AM Tennessee Ernie Ford Show
11:30 Yours For A Song
12 N Jane Wyman Presents
12:30 Camouflage
12:55 ABC News (Alex Dreier)
1 PM (Local)
2 PM Day In Court
2:30 Seven Keys
3 PM Queen For A Day
3:30 Who Do You Trust?
4 PM American Bandstand
4:50 American Newsstand (Roger Sharp)
 
Thanks for the info - I wasn't sure if they moved for the summer or the Wiki network daytime schedule was wrong. In any case, a large portion of NBC and ABC daytime was preempted in Boston throughout the 60s. This was remedied when channel 38 came on the air in October 1964 and started taking uncleared network programming about a year later.

Here's a clip of "American Newsstand" from YouTube:
