Thurmond Fans Dem Factional Tiff
Former Gov. J. Strom Thurmond entered the U.S. Senate race in South Carolina with a write in bid that stirred factional tensions. He opposed State Sen. Edgar A. Brown, named by the State Executive Committee to fill the seat after Burnet R. Maybank’s death, with no Republican candidate in a state where nominations usually decide elections. Brown’s selection followed Maybank’s renomination in June, while Thurmond’s past support for Eisenhower and Brown’s long party roles frame a historically charged contest.

No Laughs At Funeral Of Gag Man
Hollywood remembers Barney Dean, longtime gag man for Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, at a standing room funeral with about 250 mourners. Friends like Dorothy Lamour and Jack Benny attended as Dean, quiet and underplaying humor, was praised for shaping jokes and keeping the duo in line with their wit. He recalled meeting Hope 25 years earlier, later joining Crosby at the Friars Club, and his career dwindled to a Sid Silver stand‑in before a studio savior reunion.
