Oil bust hitting Odessa
Workers losing hope, leaving /ow
ODESSA (AP) — Oil Field woik-
ers have found jobs for almost a
quarter of a century by posting their
names on a tattered bulletin board at
the Tradeway Grocery.
But David Perrin attaches little
hope to the note with his name and
phone number.
“Usually that board’s full,” Perrin,
35, of Odessa, said. “People aren’t
even putting their names up. They
figure it won’t do any good.”
Lucille Grindle, 63, who owns the
tiny grocery store, said the men who
have found her business a help in
getting oil field work are now having
trouble finding any job at all.
“They’re looking, but you know
everything is so oil-related,” she said.
According to Perrin, when some
one in the oil field quits or is fired,
the drilling company already has a
replacement in mind.
A year ago the board and the door
on which it hangs were covered with
names of job seekers, and the notes
were being removed weekly. During
the boom prior to 1982, few names
were posted as out of work.
But now some roughnecks are
looking for other kinds of employ
ment, and some have already left
town, Perrin said.
Grindle said 1986 oil price fluc
tuations have created a situation that
is different from the early 1982 oil
bust.
“There were just a lot of people
here then, from Michigan and north
and east,” she said. "What’s sad
about this (slump) is, a lot of the peo
ple that are leaving and have left
have been out here for years work
ing in the oil Fields.”
And many of those working are
making far less money than before,
she said.
“They’re not questioning what
when a job is<
they pay

Unemployment up os prices dro,
ODESSA (AP) — Dorenda Nun
cio waited patiently in a packed De
partment of Human Services office
in Odessa to find out if she, her hus
band and two daughters qualified
for food stamps.
“If it weren’t for my family help
ing me out, we probably would have
starved to death by now,” she said.
Her husband was laid off in
March from his $300-a-week job as a
roustabout for an oil field supply
company. In late April, she applied
for food stamps, then waited an
other two weeks before getting an
appointment for an interview, Nun
cio, 25,said.
With two small children, she and
her husband have discussed leaving
the West Texas oil fields for greener
pastures. But they sought work else
where when the oil patch economy
took a downturn about three years
ago.
“It didn’t do us no good,” Nuncio
said. “It just got us farther in debt.
We’ve got too much invested. We
can’t really pick up and leave.”
Area officials say the lines for
food stamp assistance began grow
ing last winter, when the price of oil
plummeted. As trading on spot mar
kets pushed oil from about $32 a
barrel in December to less than $10
this spring, the wait for a simple in
terview for government assistance
stretched from about a week to more
than a month, officials say.
were up about 33 percent in early
1986 over the same period in 1985,
of ficials said.
Joan Morris, director of income
assistance at the Human Ser vices of
fice, said that until recently a person
could expect an interview about a
week after applying.
“Right at this point, we’re running
at something over 30 days,” Morris
said.
Morris of the Human Services of
fice said that as early as last year she
began seeing the “long-term em-
“If it weren't for my fam
ily helping me out, we
probably would have
starved to death by now. "

plying to the Department
of Human Services for
food stamps in Odessa.
Although local law enforcement
agencies cannot definitely peg a rise
in the crime rate to the poor econ
omy, they do speculate that unem
ployment has fed some of the statis
tics, the Odessa American reported
in a nine-part series of stories on the
area’s oil woes.

Clements campaign
over $34,000 in debt
AUSTIN (AP) — Former Gov.
Bill Glements’ campaign reports
show him $34,274 in the hole, but
his Republican supporters are not
worried and Democratic officials in
dicated they don’t think it’s a true in
dication of the gubernatorial candi
date’s campaign situation.
“These numbers are just going to
motivate the Glements troops to
work harder,” said Reggie Bashur,
Clements’ press secretary.
Mark McKinnon, campaign press
aide to Gov. Mark White, said, “Mr.
Clements is known for his deep
pockets and there is no doubt those
pockets will be turned outside before
November. We ll be outspent again.
There’s no doubt about it.”
Campaign expense and contribu
tions reports submitted this week
showed White has $1.7 million in the
bank, while Republican challenger
Clements is $34,()()() in debt,
Clements reported contributions
of $636,709 and expenses of
$579,326 lor the period April 24
through May 28. But his campaign is
$34,000 in the red because of a defi
cit from the previous report.
Meanwhile, San Antonio Appeals
fudge Shirley Butts announced
Tuesday additional endorsements in
her runoff race with state Sen. Oscar
Mauzy, D-Dallas, for the Texas Su
preme Court.
Butts said the new endorsements
include Bob Krueger, former special
ambassador to Mexico, and state
Rep. Frank Tejeda, D-San Antonio,
head of a House committee investi
gation into activities of the Texas Su
preme Court.
Nazi insignia painted
on candidate’s porch
AUSTIN (AP) — A swastika was
painted late Sunday or early Mon
day on the front porch of a candi
date for Travis County commis
sioner, who also is president of the
Jewish Community Council of Aus
tin.
Alan Sager says the swastika is the
latest in a series of anti-Semitic inci
dents during his candidacy. He said
anti-Semitic letters were mailed in
April to several of his supporters
and a white cross and an obscenity
were spray-painted on one of his
campaign signs last month.
Sager, who is in Saturday’s runoff
election for the Republican nomi
nation for county commissioner of
Precinct 2, said, “The truth is I don’t
know what to say. I think that people
ought to know that this kind of stuff
goes on in Austin, Texas, in 1986,
and we ought to work together to
stop it.”
Sager’s runoff opponent, Austin
businessman Zack Dawes, galled the
acts “reprehensible.”
“I certainly feel that anybody who
would do something like that is ob
viously a nut,” Dawes said.
He also said, however, “I would
sav that while it is regrettable that
anyone would pull such an act of
anti-Semitism, I feel that it’s even
worse that a candidate would try to
use this in a campaign and actually
exploit his religious beliefs. I think it
is obvious to the people that he’s us
ing this (for) political purposes and
not to expose anti-Semitic senti
ment.”
Sager finished second in the May
3 primary with 34.7 percent of the
vote. Dawes had 46.6 percent. The
winner of the runoff will face Demo
crat Bruce Todd in the November
general election.

In the wake of falling oil prices,
she said, her department’s 30 work
ers have been stretched to the limit.
The state, meanwhile, has told her to
expect autumn budget cuts, she said.
“I don’t see how we could run
with any fewer people that we have
now,” she said. “Everybody’s work is
just piled up.”
While many have tinned to the
government for help, a spokesman
for the Odessa Police Department
speculated that sharp increases in
robberies and thefts may signify that
this year’s drop in oil prices
prompted others to turn to crime.
