2E DETROIT FREE PRESSWEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1994 Michigan Memo which has four major malls. Retailers are lying in wait for the last-minute shoppers who don't heed markdowns to lure them in. "We're expecting Friday and Saturday to be stronger than the day after Thanksgiving," MacDonald said. "And it's a (Jifferent customer. It's men who tend to wait until the end." I' Art Nitzsche, president of 'Jele-Check Michigan, said there is a mystique to last-minute shopping that only those who do it They'll often buy items that will be returned the day after Christmas, he said.

"They'll buy any sweater, any'fur, any diamond. Or they'll buy a gift certificate. I'm convinced that's how they like to do it, because they do it every year." But she said shoppers should look carefully at markdowns on items such as gold jewelry and gems. "Unless you're a very astute shopper, you don't know what you're buying," she said. "You have to know quality and know what a reasonable price is for the item." Retail experts said beginning today, malls and stores will have their busiest period building up to Friday, when many people are off work and will be out shopping, and Saturday, when most stores and malls will close at 5 p.m.

because it is Christmas Eve. But don't expect to see many more markdowns to be added before Saturday, warns Karen MacDonald, manager of communications at Bloomfield Hills-based Taubman Centers Inc. are trying to blow the merchandise out of the store to clear the way for spring fashions that will arrive shortly after Jan. 1. Hudson's 13-hour sale, which is running today, was added in an effort to clear out older inventory, said spokeswoman Chris Morrisroe.

"It would be marked down after Christmas anyway," she said. Retail consultant Joyce Harding said retailers can increase their profits by marking down this week rather than waiting until after Christmas. "They need to get rid of the merchandise either way," said Harding, president of Royal Oak-based Retail Directions. "They might be able to sell out with 25 percent off before Christmas, but they would need to take 50 percent off to sell it out after." With apologies, Intel will replace Pentiums SALES, from Page IE "People's shopping plans are very bullish," he says "The consumer is determined to loosen up and have a good Christmas, and the retailers are panicking." One reason for the panic is fear that people's optimism won't last, says Michael Bernacchi, marketing professor at University of Detroit Mercy. "The feeling of retailers is: 'We'd better catch these folks and capture the spirit while it So they move post-Christmas sales to before Christmas and hope to slay the Christmas drag-on.

Another reason for panic is that apparel sales did not get off to a good start this year because of warm weather in early November. Now, retailers Merger links trio of local auto suppliers SUPPLIERS, from Page IE for the last four years, grossed $40.3 million in 1993. MascoTech Controls is one of the smallest of 18 automotive divisions at MascoTech a publicly owned manufacturer that had 1993 sales of $1.6 billion. Detroit-based Mexican Industries in Michigan considered the nation's largest minority-owned auto supplier, expects sales of $121 million in 1994 and $153 million in 1995. The merger plans reflect a trend among ambitious small suppliers to join forces with other firms to meet the automakers' demands for technical expertise, global growth and one-stop shopping.

"It's a perfect marriage, if you will, of three companies," said MascoTech Controls spokesman Kurt Ruecke. "Individually we couldn't have grown as quickly as the company is going to be able to grow combined with the other two." Said Tsuha: "We are each component suppliers, but by pulling together now we're able to supply complete electrical or electronic subsystems to the auto companies." For instance, each company makes part of the system that controls a car's engine temperature. Bitron makes a temperature sensor that connects with Warehouse move Mazda (North America) a subsidiary of the Japanese automaker Mazda Motor plans to build a parts distribution warehouse in DeSoto County, to replace leased warehouses in Romulus and Wayne. About 40 contract employee positions at the leased warehouses are to be eliminated when the new warehouse opens. Mazda said it is investing $20 million in the new building, which is to open in early 1996 and initially employ 100 people.

BATTERY DEAL Troy-based Energy Conversion Devices Inc. and Toshiba Battery Co. Ltd. said they have resolved a dispute over nickel metal hydride batteries. Energy Conversion filed a U.S.

International Trade Commission complaint earlier this year contending that Toshiba, Sanyo Electric Co. and Yuasa Corp. were infringing on its nickel metal hydride battery patents. Energy Conversion two weeks ago reached a similar agreement with Sanyo. Terms of the deals have not been disclosed.

PUMP PRICES: Gasoline prices in Michigan continue to drop but still are about nine cents a gallon higher than a year ago, AAA Michigan said. The average Detroit area price for self-serve unleaded regular was 99.3 cents a gallon, down 1.5 cents from last week. Outstate, the average was $1,058, down 1.7 cents. A year ago, the averages were 90.2 cents in the Detroit area and 97.1 cents outstate. MORTGAGE SALE: Source One Mortgage Services a Farmington Hills-based mortgage banking company, plans to sell about $10 billion of its $40-billion servicing portfolio.

The rights for sale include about loans. 'JOBLESS DECLINE: Unemployment rates for November fell in nine of 10 major Michigan labor markets. The Upper Peninsula's rate rose to 7.3 percent, from 6.6 percent in October, the Michigan Employment Security Commission said. In other areas: Ann Arbor, 2.7 percent, from Benton Harbor, 4.4 percent, from 4.9; Detroit, 3.8 percent, from 4.6; Flint, 5.4 percent, from 6.5; Grand-Rapids-Muskegon-Holland, 3.6 percent, from 3.7; Jackson, 4.2 'percent, from 4.9; Kalamazoo-Bat- tle Creek, 3.7 percent, from 4.5; Lansing, 3.2 percent, from 3.5, and Numan Ali has been promoted to pharmacy supervisor at Arbor Drugs Troy. Ali is responsible for overseeing the pharmaceutical operations of 25 Arbor drugstores.

Previously, Ali was a chief pharmacist at the company's Westland store. He joined Arbor in 1989 as a pharmacy intern. Mark Frulla has been named sales manager and industry specialist in automotive technologies at Praxair Detroit. Frulla will quantify industrial gas requirements as they relate to the automotive manufacturers and their subcontractors, supplying their current needs as well as identifying new requirements to help provide environmental improvements to the automotive manufacturing process. Prior to his appointment Frulla was a key account manager.

BenefitSource an Ann Arbor-based benefit consultant and third party administrator, has added new staff members: Renee Carr has joined the client services staff; Kathy Kaveh and Pam Wilhelm to client services account tJSllUSM.il'l.l company. Gale Research publishes reference books, and the company's Pentiums aren't used for serious math. "We haven't had any said Dalpiaz. 1 Intel's new policy could also stave off a class-action lawsuit filed last week in Detroit by a Pentium user. South-field attorney E.

Powell Miller said he and his client, Representatives Electronic Products of Livonia, hadn't decided yet whether to drop the, suit; "But obviously it's something we're going to give careful thought to," he added. Miller called Intel's policy change "a wonderful decision." Meanwhile, Dell Computer a mail-order computer firm, is worried about replacement parts that Intel has already sent to some buyers of its computers. The Pentium replacement kit includes a heat sink, a device that is attached to the chip to keep it cool. Dell posted a message on the CompuServe on-line information service warning customers that Intel Hrvas sending out the wrong kind of peat sink, and that using it would void their warranty. A Dell spokeswoman later said that the company would send! the right kind of heat sinks to those who have already gotten replacement Pentiums, and that their warranties would not be voided.

On the NASDAQ market, Intel jumped $3,438 a share to $61.25 in heavy trading.

Industry analysts welcomed the move but called it long overdue. "It's about time. It's very clear they were fighting a losing battle, both in public relations as well as user confidence," said Tim Bajarin, president of Creative Strategies Research International in San Jose. "To continue stonewalling by making people prove that they had to be building a bridge, or building an airplane, was ludicrous," Bajarin said. "They should have been creating goodwill from the beginning." Users of Pentium chips celebrated the Intel announcement.

"I'm just delighted. I think it's the responsible thing for Intel to do," said Ted Fisher, engineering manager for General Dynamics Land Systems Division in Sterling Heights. Fisher said he'll replace the Pentium in his home computer, which he uses to run engineering problems that can take up to 90 minutes to solve.

That switch controls the radiator fan that cools the engine. Bitron makes the fan motor. Automakers want suppliers with such coordination, "and they're looking for companies to supply these systems globally," Tsuha said. The new company would have about 800 employees in eight locations.

Saturn has 350 workers in Rochester Hills, Flint, Marks, and Monterrey, Mexico. It is also a partner in a Beijing, China, assembly plant. MascoTech Controls has Michigan plants in Oxford and Coopersville. Bitron, partly owned by MascoTech has plants in Rocky Mount, N.C. and in Italy.

MascoTech Controls and Bitron employ 425 workers. The new Saturn will probably add 80 new jobs in 1995 and could add more work space. "We do need more manufacturing space," said Tsuha. Ferguson said the petition will be filed at the FCC by Thursday, to meet a legal deadline, but that he plans to keep talking to CBS in hopes of working out a partnership. CHANNEL 62 COUP: Reruns of "Seinfeld" will come to Channel 62 in September.

CBS has also bought the rights to two youth-oriented talk shows, "The Richard Bey Show" and "The Tempestt Bledsoe Show," for Channel 62. Getting "Seinfeld" is a coup for the station. "We're beginning to invest in the future, as we said we would," said Jay Newman, the CBS executive in charge of Channel 62. Two rival stations also went after the rights to "Seinfeld," he said. "The Richard Bey Show" will begin airing on Jan.

2 on weekdays at 5 p.m., displacing "Jane Whitney," which will move to 9 a.m. "The Tempestt Bledsoe Show," hosted by the actress best known for playing daughter Vanessa on "The Cosby Show," won't debut until the fall.

After a meeting with Detroit ministers, CBS did agree to set aside several hours on Saturday and Sunday mornings for local religious programming. But Ferguson said: "Our community is about more than getting free time from 5 to 9 a.m., two mornings a week." CBS could not be reached immediately for comment.

The FCC has no rule that requires minority-owned stations remain in minority hands, but the commission has sought to encourage minority ownership of TV stations. Ferguson, who tried to buy Channel 62 from its prior owners, said he was encouraged to proceed after learning that CBS was willing to sell part of Channel 62 to the Westinghouse group of TV stations. "They were willing to let Westing-house buy half of the station, but then they were telling us that they weren't going to sell it to us," he said.
