Musician’s death
marks end of an era
for neighborhood
DALLAS (AP) — The death last
month of blues pianist Alex Moore
closed a chapter in the history of
Deep Ellum, now a neighborhood of
trendy cafes, galleries and night
spots.
Moore was one of the few people
left from the Deep Ellum of the
1920s and 1930s. The neighbor
hood, just east of downtown, then
was a gathering place for the black,
Anglo and Hispanic cultures.
Best known as a home to blues
music, Deep Ellum also had several
theaters, bootleg joints, stores and
recording studios.
In the mid-1930s, a country
group called the Lone Star Cowboys
recorded “Deep Ellum Blues,” which
was later made popular by Harry
James in a recording with Ben Pol
lack’s band.
“They had more music there than
they ever will in Nashville, Tennes
see,” Bill Neely of Austin said. The
72-year-old musician says he used
hitchhike to Deep Ellum from McK
inney during the 1930s.
Louisiana folk musician Huddie
“Leadbelly” Ledbetter fell in love
with the 12-string guitar after he saw'
Hispanic musicians playing it in
Deep Ellum, said Alan Govenar, a
Dallas folklorist.
The recording activity drew musi
cians from a broad area. Scouts set
up recording studios in Deep Ellum
hotel rooms. Black musicians’ work
was released on “race” labels.
Theaters in Deep Ellum provided
a place for blacks to see films as well
as touring theatrical shows.
Part of the old Deep Ellum was
destroyed when Central Expressway
was built in the 1950s. The neigh
borhood evolved a few blocks
eastward.
Deep Ellum is still the heart of the
Dallas music scene and was visited
last week by 18 West Coast recording
executives. The Deep Ellum-borne
band enjoying the greatest success
currently is the New Bohemians,
whose Top 20 album recently
topped the million mark in sales.
Paper: Astronauts given medical waivers
HOUSTON (AP) — The astronaut who com
manded the first post-Challenger mission last
year was not medically qualified to fly, and an
other astronaut who is colorblind has received a
waiver so he can go into space, the Houston
Chronicle reported Sunday.
In a copyright story, the Chronicle reported
that sources said the Johnson Space Center medi
cal qualification board recommended last year
that Discovery commander Frederick H. Hauck
be disqualified because of kidney stone problems,
but was overruled. They also said Daniel C.
Brandenstein, chief of the astronaut corps, failed
an eye test in 1987 but received a waiver to fly.
In both cases, sources said Rear Adm. Richard
H. Truly, NASA’s associate administrator for
flight operations at Washington headquarters, in
terceded.
The sources, who asked for anonymity, are ac
tive members in Flight Crew Operations, which
includes the astronaut office, and in the Space
and Life Sciences Directorate, which includes the
flight medicine clinic and medical operations
branch at JSC, the newspaper said.
Truly declined to comment on individual
medical cases Friday but said: “I try to do two
things. I try to make sure from the management
view that the (medical) process works, that indi
vidual health problems are treated fairly by the
(medical qualification) board and management,
and secondly to protect the rights of the individ
ual involved, and the major objective is to get
healthy astronauts to the launch pad for the mis
sion.”
Truly’s spokesman Sarah Keegan told the As
sociated Press on Sunday she also could not com
ment on specific medical cases.
During October interviews and again last
week, Hauck and Brandenstein would not dis
cuss their medical records, the Chronicle said.
Sources told the Chronicle that the Space
Medicine Board grounded Hauck early in 1988
because of a kidney stone problem, but the rec
ommendation was later overruled, and subse
quently reversed.
And Brandenstein failed the Farnsworth Lan
tern color perception test in 1987, sources said,
but received the only waiver ever issued to an as
tronaut for color blindness.
Some of the most important of about 2,000 cir
cuit breakers and switches on the shuttle orbiter
are color-coded, including some of those used in
the launch and re-entry, a source said.
Brandenstein is scheduled to command the
Columbia space shuttle in November. He has
flown on two previous shuttle flights, in 1983 and
in 1985.
Hauck flew on shuttle flights in 1983 and
1984, as well as commanding the Discovery flight
last September.

Group blasts
FBI director,
death penalty
SAN ANTONIO (AP) —Lead
ers of Amnesty International
blasted FBI Director William Ses
sions for his support of the death
penalty for drug kingpins.
“We’ve announced to the
world that we’re going to start
killing our own citizens in num
bers,’’said Jack Healey, the orga
nization’s executive director said
Saturday. “We’re not only going
to do that, but we’re now going to
add the dealers in drugs.”
About 60 members of the in
ternational human rights group
were in San Antonio for a plan
ning meeting during the week
end. The meeting was held in San
Antonio because of Texas’ use of
capital punishment, Steve Her
rick, an Amnesty Internation di
rector, said.
In his inaugural speech, Presi
dent George Bush said the death
penalty should be punishment
for convicted drug kingpins. Ses
sions echoed Bush’s statement
during a speech in Houston last
week.
JONES CREEK (AP) — Master
ship carpenter Jacob “Papa Jake”
Schultz is one of the last of a special
breed of craftsmen left in shipyard
circles.
And when he turned 90 last
Wednesday, he said his carpentry
days are not through, if things go his
way.
Papa Jake, as he is known at ship
yards up and down the Gulf Coast,
seems as sturdy as a 23-foot-long
ship stem he once made from a tree
he had cut down.
He may not cut down timber any
more, but the tall, husky white-
haired man never retired as a ship
carpenter, his vocation since age 23.
He is just itching to get back to the
Quintana shipyard he has worked at
since 1961.
“I am a fellow who never did
know how to sit on his thumbs and
do nothing,” he said. “I have to have
something to do.” His wife of 66
years, Minnie Mae, better known as
“Granny Sweet,” agreed.
Schultz damaged some vertebrae
in his back in October after falling
on a bed of gravel while repairing
panels high up the side of a boat.
“One of the gravel rocks was big
ger than my backbone, I reckon,” he
said. “It was the 10th of October that
I got hurt and I’m still down. If I
can, I’m going back to work soon.”
The injury may have slowed
Schultz a bit (though he uses no cane
or other aid for walking) but it’s
done nothing to dampen his spirit,
and he offers a slew of boat stories.
He is opinionated about his craft,
which may someday be forgotten be
cause few boats are now constructed
of wood and there are even fewer se
rious apprentices to keep the art al
ive.
“Young people are too lazy to do
it in one sense,” he said, emphasizing
with his large hands, the left one
missing a pinkie and parts of two
other fingers, the result of a 1956 ac
cident with a cutting wedge. “And
15, 20 years ago they started making
boats out of steel and aluminum.
“There ain’t no fellows who can
cut a piece of wood and fit it like
that,” he said.
Schultz’s eyes gleam when he rem
inisces about boats he built during
the last 70 years. He remembers
styles and measurements as if the
original blueprints were right in
front of him.
He also remembers the contract
arrangements.
“He said, ‘How much would you
charge by the hour to do that?”’
Schultz said of one particular con
tract he negotiated with a Fishing op
erator. “I told him I would work on
that for 80 cents an hour. He said,
‘What about help?’ I said, ‘Yea, I
know of some fellows I can get.’
“I could take a good house car
penter, if he would listen to me, and
make a good boat man out of him,”
Schultz explained.
“I came to Freeport in May 1937
and it (the boat) took 11 months to
complete. The inside was 65 feet
long, it was 18 feet wide and 8 feet
deep,” he said.
Schultz was particularly dedicated
during war time.
“In 1942, I worked in Rockport
for the Navy on submarine chasers,
the PT boats,” he said.
Schultz’s work was featured at the
Festival in American Folklife exhibi
tion in Washington, D.C. in 1976.
