There was standing' room only, but there were no laughs. Making laugh's was Barney's businesses pafr man for Bob Hope and Binp Crosby. The ball little fellow was never without a funny line, whether it was for a Hope- Crosby movie or just for the private amusement of friends.

Variety of Friends He had many friends. Some 250 showed up for the funeral last week, including prop men, song pluggers. ballplayers, as well as Hope, Dorothy Lamour, Danny Kaye, Roaemar Cylooncy. Pat O'Brien. GTDorge Burns.

Dean Martin, Jack Benny. William Holden. George Raft. Phil Harris. Jack Webb and others.

Dean was the quiet type, who underplayed his humor rather than hit you over the head with it. I was about the only one who ever interviewed him. He was afraid he might say the wrong thing to interviewers and offend Bing, Bob, or their writers. He told of meeting Hope 25 years ago when both were playing the Stafford Theater in Chicago. Barney was part of a dance act that later ended in a fist fight.

He met Bing throe years later at the Friar's Club in New York. Drifts-to Hollywood After vaudeville died. Barney drifted to Hollywood, working as Sid Silver's stand-in for S6.50 a day. Things got so bad that.he tried selling Christmas cards to old pals. "I took by briefcase to the 'Road to Singapore' set," he recalled.

"Bing and Bob greeted me like a long-lost friend. They offered me a job, so I left the briefcase in a corner of the set' I never have been able to sell them any Christmas cards." But he sold them on his services as adviser on gags. They wouldn't make a. picture without him. Orice Paramount tried to put him off between pictures, Hope and Crosby told the studio either he Hayed or they left.

His paycheck was quickly reinstated. PALACE TODAY Lancaster in the Technicolor action drama, co-starring Jean Peters, opened at the Palace theatre today and will continue through Saturday.

Dedicated to Man's Impelling Curiosity Most of us interpret the value of research in terms of immediate benefits. Research means that we get a better automobile, an improved gasoline, or an outstanding motor oil.

At Baytown Refinery, the Humble Company maintains one of the finest laboratories in the petroleum industry for that kind of research. But behind the study that goes into the improvement of the products it sells, Humble for years has fostered basic research related to the discovery and production of oil and natural gas. The United States uses so much oil from day to day, and needs so much more to provide for the emergencies of national defense, that studies leading to the discovery of new supplies and the more efficient management of existing reservoirs are more important than ever before. Consequently, Humble's expenditures on this sort of research are the heaviest in the Company's history and its staff of research scientists is larger than it has ever been. To house the expansion of these research sections, Humble recently completed its new Research Center at Houston and will formally dedicate it this week end.

Here the scientists of the various departments involved in the discovery and production of oil will utilize common facilities, and here they will have the stimulation of close association with other scientists whose efforts are dedicated to a common end. The new Houston Research Center will provide facilities for research in: Fluid Mechanics Geophysics Geology Geochemistry Drilling Muds Well Log Interpretation Subsurface Instruments Reservoir Behavior Well Stimulation Well Cementing HUMBLE OIL REFINING COMPANY HUMBLE.
