Tl’s CS business
to close, move
to Austin in ’86
Associated Press
DALLAS — The College Station
Texas Instruments plant, which as
sembles Tl’s professional comput
ers, will be closed and the operation
relocated in Austin as part of the
company’s even tighter cost controls
being implemented in 1986.
The chief executive officer of TI,
the semiconductor maker that closed
1985 with a loss of almost $120 mil
lion, paints a grim picture of 1986.
Jerry Junkins, president and chief
executive officer, told The Dallas
Morning News he sees no immediate
return to profitability for the com
pany and said, “We are taking a con
servative approach at this time until
we see a recovery.”
In an interview published in The
News’ Sunday editions, Junkins, who
replaced J. Fred Bucy as chief exec
utive officer last May, said the com-
S any must scrutinize all aspects of its
usiness.
Junkins and other top officials
said there will be detailed, ongoing
reviews of all operations; Although
the company last year cut some
10,000 jobs worldwide, more layoffs
are not being ruled out.
The job cutbacks follow a period
of euphoria in the computer busi
ness in 1983 and 1984 when TI and
other companies added to their pay
rolls and expanded operations.
But sales of personal computers
slowed in mid-1984 and Japanese
semiconductor companies began
selling their chips in the United
States at prices below their manufac
turing costs.
In addition, the company recently
announced it is suing eight Japanese
and one Korean firm for alleged
patent infringement, although those
companies are TI customers.
Junkins said the company simply
wants to be more assertive in the pat
ent area.
“We are filing suit against compa
nies that comprise a large percent
age of our business in Japan. . .,”
Junkins said. “How risky will it be?
My personal opinion is there may be
some problem but that they will look
at it in the broader spectrum and not
in the short term.”
The College Station plant will be-
of l
come part ot the company’s biggest
money-losers, the Austin-based Data
Systems Group, which manufactures
personal computers.
Last year TI began cutting costs
by $70 million and consolidated four
of its plants into two.
The College Station move is the
first. The second is the consolidation
of the terminals and peripherals op
erations in Temple with Tl’s Hous
ton plant put on the block for sale,
Junkins said.
Meanwhile, officials have high
hopes for Tl’s profitable defense
electronics business, which has the
lucrative HARM missile contract.
Sales in defense electronics were up
slightly in 1985 over 1984 and TI of
ficials predict a “substantial” backlog
increase in 1985, giving the com
pany a chance to resume its long
term growth.
White, Clements
will pay fees, file
for primaries today
Associated Press
AUSTIN — Monday is the final
day to file for the May primaries,
and Gov. Mark White and former
Gov. Bill Clements say they’ll beat
the deadline.
The incumbent Democrat and the
Republican he beat in 1982 have
planned to pay their fees and fill out
the forms Monday. Clements joins
U.S. Rep. Tom Loeffler of Hunt and
former U.S. Rep. Kent Hance of
Lubbock as the major GOP contend
ers.
White will face what appears to be
minor opposition in the Democratic
primary.
At Saturday’s State Democratic
Executive Committee meeting,
White made it clear he’s looking to
November.
“We don’t have anything new
happening here today,” he said. “It’s
the same old fight Democrats have
been fighting forever and ever.
We’re still fighting ignorance and
superstition.”
While White was talking 1986, the
Democratic committee members
spent part of Saturday talking 1988.
The committee unanimously
backed Houston’s bid to host the
1988 Democratic National Conven
tion.
“We think we have the people. We
think we have the climate. We know
we have the Democrats,” said Clin-
tine Cashion of Houston Mayor
Kathy Whitmire’s staff.
Before the vote was taken, com
mittee member Terry Bonds of
Channelview complained that Hous
ton’s new George R. Brown Conven
tion Center includes foreign steel.
Bonds is an international rep
resentative for the United Steel
workers Union.
“I hope in the future our govern
ment agencies do a better job of see
ing whatever we build with our tax
payers’ dollars is built with steel
made in this country,” he said.
Bonds voted for the Houston res
olution despite complaining that
more than 6,000 Houston-area steel
workers have lost their jobs in the
past few years — many of them be
cause of imported steel.
State Democratic Chairman Bob
Slagle said Atlanta, New Orleans
and Washington also are expected to
make major bids for the convention,
which can bring millions of dollars to
the host city.
National party officials will pick a
site this summer, Slagle said.
Dallas hosted the Republican Na
tional Convention in 1984. Houston
has hosted one national convention
— the 1928 meeting at which Demo
crats picked A1 Smith as their presi
dential candidate. Smith lost to Re
publican Herbert Hoover.
Houston’s new downtown conven
tion center is scheduled for comple
tion in September 1987. It will hold
18,000 people and offer 500,000
square feet of space.

Child, 6, dies after being mauled by dogs
Associated Press
DALLAS — A 6-year-old Long
view boy, who had fought for his life
for 11 days after being mauled by a
pack of dogs, died Sunday, a hospi
tal spokeswoman said.
Stephen Fiengo, who had been
hospitalized at Parkland Hospital
since Jan. 22 with 100 dog bites, died
at 8:55 a.m. Mary Layman, a hospi
tal administrator, said the boy prob
ably died as a result of the infections
from the wounds.
By last Friday, the little boy had
undergone seven surgical proce
dures and received as many as 187
pints of blood and plasma, Layman
said.
She said physicians have not de
termined an exact cause of death,
and it will be up to the Dallas County
medical examiner to decide if an au
topsy is needed.
The dogs that attacked him were
not rabid, the hospital spokeswoman
said, but “any time a person is bitten
there is a possibility of getting infec
tion.”
The child had been playing alone
in a field on the outskirts of town
near his home when he was attacked I
by the dogs. His mother, BrendaSufI
Fiengo, was visiting a friend at 3 j
house nearby when it happened aim
said she never heard a sound fro*j
the attack.
But when she went to check on
hym, she found him “just lying theft
with his eyes open.” Bloody dothin?
was strewn in the dirt.
