Early release
of inmate
questioned
ANGLETON (AP) — State prison
officials are trying to determine why
an inmate was paroled only a few
months after being indicted in a
prison slaying despite Brazoria
County’s request that he be detained.
Texas Department of Corrections
spokesman Charles Brown con
firmed the prison file of John
Thomas Williams Jr. contained in
formation on the June 1985 stabbing
death of a fellow inmate at the Bar
rington Unit in Rosharon.
The file should have provided for
notification of Williams’ impending
release so Brazoria County officials
could have taken him into custody,
said Tom Watson, special prosecutor
for prison cases in Brazoria County.
Williams was indicted on a mur
der charge in July 1985 and paroled
in November. He is accused of stab
bing Jimmy Lee Ephriam Jr., 27.
Williams was arrested Thursday
without incident as he walked off a
shrimp boat in Rockport, Aransas
County Sheriff Bob Hewes said. Wil
liams is in the Brazoria County Jail
w ithout bond.
“Why would they let someone like
that out of prison?” said Brazoria
County Sheriff Joe King, whose de
partment investigates crimes inside
state prisons in the county.
King said he can’t understand
why Williams was freed, since the
sheriffs office had filed a request
with the state prison system that he
be detained.
Brown said the request in Wil
liams’ file bears no stamp indicating
the date it was received. Brazoria
Chief Deputy Charles Wagner said
his office sent the document, which
would have halted parole proceed
ings, on July 17.

IN THE
By Audrey Cardenas
Reporter
It’s a bird. It’s a plane. No, it’s he
licopter-man.
Located at FM 2818 and Texas
Avenue across from K-Mart, Hugo
Butz, who claims to be the only full
time barnstormer in the country, of
fers helicopter rides to anyone seek
ing fun.
“It’s not just a $10 helicopter ride
for four minutes,” Butz says. “It’s a
$10 helicopter ride for four minutes
— at 1,000 feet, going 80 mph."
Soloing by age 15, Butz received
his pilot’s license three years later.
He says he’s always wanted to fly.
“I used to build model airplanes
when I was a kid,” he says, “and
that’s when I became interested in
flying.”
He got his chance to fly in 1967
when he was stationed in Chu Lai,
Vietnam, for two years. After the
war, Butz spent two years flying in
Peru moving oil equipment for oil
companies and then came back to
the States to become a logger.
In 1984, Butz decided he wanted
to barnstorm, a type of flying fash
ioned after early aviators who
toured the country giving airplane
rides.
“I’ve always got my eye on the ho
rizon,” he says, “and I like meeting
people.”
But on the first day of his new
venture, this 39-year-old pilot suf
fered $20,000 worth of damage to
his helicopter when a truck ran into
the chopper, which was parked on a
trailer outside Butz’s condominium.
“There were a lot of obstacles not
easy to deal with, but I accepted
them,” he says. “Of course, I say that
three years later.”
Butz, who travels from town to
town selling rides in his helicopter,
has found everyone to be supportive
of his nostalgic idea.
“Everybody likes me for what I’m
doing,” he says, “and I like sharing it
with everybody.”
And sharing it he does. On a good
day, Butz flies about 200 people and
finds most of them to be quite gener
ous.
“My customers are usually upbeat
and looking for something to make
them happy,” he says. “They see
what I do as a novel thing.”
Some of Butz’s customers have
traded him pizzas, clothes, soft
drinks and cakes for a ride in his
chopper.
“I’m a barnstormer, and I trade
anything for rides,” he says.
Despite the ride’s popularity,
some people think that Butz charges
too much for four minutes of flying,
but he offers a sincere rebuttal.
“You can buy a kid a $10 toy and
three days later it’s broken or lost,”
he says. “But buy him a helicopter
ride and when he’s 21, he’ll still re
member what the weather was like
on that day.”
Butz, who flies south in the winter
and north in the summer, selects his
locations by choosing a direction in
which he would like to travel, then
looking on a map and circling those
towns that fall into his ideal popula
tion range, which is 10,000-25,000
people.
“I circle the towns on an atlas and
head for the nearest one,” he ex
plained. “If I get a good feel of the
town, then I’ll usually stay and fly.”
Once in a town, he looks for a lo
cation to set up his equipment, con-
his first helicopter ride with Bull.
“My dad says he’s die best pik
he’s ever seen, and I agree with®
dad,” he says. “1 felt really safe." j
Leon Echard, a city wortai
agrees with Newman.
“I liked it,” he says. “I’ve nevtj
been in a helicopter before. It wan
different experience.”
Like his fun-seeking customer!
“It’s not just a $10 helicopter ride for four minutes, It)
a $10 helicopter ride for four minutes — at 1,000 feel,
going 80 mph.”
— Hugo Butz
tacts the owner of the site and
usually begins flying that day, he
says.
Although he is not bound to a
particular flight pattern, he says he
flies a specified route to avoid resi
dential complaints.
Besides avoiding complaints, the
barnstormer also avoids accidents.
“I haven’t had any emergencies
when giving rides,” he says. “Once,
when I was putting the helicopter on
the trailer, I almost flipped it, but I
was by myself.”
Murray Newman, son of Louis
Newman III, who served with Butz
in Vietnam, says he wasn’t scared on
Butz also has had some differeM
periences while barnstorming,
says that twice he has been askedM
police in different towns to hel[
them locate criminals, but Butzliai
no success in either situation.
Although Butz says he has befll
on the front page of every newspi
per in every town he’s flown in
also has made several TV app
ances, he doesn’t think heistnesl
of his show. .
“It doesn’t revolve around me,:
he says. “It’s about a certain partof(
person and his fascination withh(
copters.”

Congressmen argue
over hospital funding
for Fort Sam Houston
SAN ANTONIO (AP) —The bat
tle for a replacement for Brooke
Army Medical Center continues as
Texas congressmen feud over a pro
posed amendment that critics say
could cost the city $250 million in
federal funds.
Ground is scheduled to be broken
in September for a new 200-bed fa
cility at Fort Sam Houston.
The facility, which would replace
the current ?00-bed hospital, could
be expanded to 450 beds.
About $135 million has been au
thorized for the project, which also
would place Brooke and the Air
Force’s Wilford Hall Medical Center
under ajoint command.
But on Monday, Les Aspin, D-
Wis., chairman of the House Armed
Services Committee, introduced an
amendment to a substitute Defense
Department authorization bill.
Rep. Henry B. Gonzalez, who
worked with Aspin on the amend
ment, said Monday that the amend
ment calls for a return to a perma
nent 450-bed facility.
“This doesn’t stop anything,” said
Gonzalez, D-San Antonio. “We need
time to review this dispassionately
and calmly, which hasn’t been done
at this time.
“I’m saying, ‘Let’s stop andrevitj
and see where we’re heading.'W
not building anything now anyway'
Sen. Phil Gramm, R-Texas,o' 1 !
icized the amendment proposal.
“Such an action would costSil
Antonio a quarter of a billion d(
lars,” Gramm said. “I cannotbelif
such a loss is in the interests ofil
active duty military personnel d
military retirees in San Antonio ’
would be opposed to it.”
Pentagon officials say the
will cost at least $241 million.
San Antonio congressmen #'(ij
upset about the proposal, sayingil*
$135 million authorized for theh(
pital could be wiped out if itbecoffl
law.
Rep. Albert Bustamante, a me®
her of the House Armed Seni
Committee, said he was not cons 1
ted about the amendment and ^
he was concerned about its conteni'
Rep. Lamar Smith, a Republic 3 *
said the action could hurt
military retirees in his, Gonzak*
and Bustamante’s districts. ,
Gonzalez said Gramm already^
lost $400 million headed for Bn
by agreeing to the compromise
200-bed expandable nospital
summer.
