Thanks for the concise reply. This means that the1960's text will be OK if hosted in a country with life+70 copyright, such as Australia, since the original author is well dead. Is this correct?

Not necessarily. Some of these jurisdictions have copyrights for previously unpublished works. You will have to find out what the law of the land says to be sure. For instance, Dutch copyright law reserves 25 years for the publisher (see <http://www.tekstadventure.nl/branko/blog/2005/03/unpublished- works> for a small discussion of the law.)
