             Rule 424(b)(3) Supplement, dated November 2, 1994
                 to Prospectus, dated April 22, 1987,
          for inclusion within Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 to 
                    Registration Statement No. 2-58540
  
       
  1.   The statement on page 3 of the Prospectus under the heading
  "Highlights of the Plan", relating to the Plan's relationship to
  ERISA, is restated as follows:
  
       The Plan is not subject to Parts 2, 3 and 4 of Title I of
      the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
  
  2.   The sixth paragraph on page 4 of the Prospectus under the
  heading "Stock Account Mode" is amended by adding the following
  text:
  
          In October 1994, CBS effected a 5-for-1 split of its common
         stock by paying a stock dividend of four new shares on each
         share of CBS Stock outstanding on October 3, 1994.  Such
         dividend was paid on October 18, 1994, and CBS Stock commenced
         trading ex-dividend on October 19, 1994.  Accordingly, the
         number of shares of CBS Stock reflected in each participant's
         Stock Account was adjusted on a 5-for-1 basis and, effective
         the ex-dividend date, the "Fair Market Value" of each share of
         CBS Stock was adjusted to reflect such additional number of
         outstanding shares.
  
  3.   The language on page 8 of the Prospectus under the heading
  "Taxes" is restated as follows:
  
       Alvan L. Bobrow, Vice President and Director of Taxes of
      CBS, has advised that under existing Federal tax laws the cash
      payments to participants and the fair market value (for Federal
      income tax purposes) of shares distributed to them will
      constitute wages subject to Federal income tax withholding, and
      CBS will obtain an income tax deduction at the same time and in
      an amount equal to the payments included in participants' gross
      income.  Subject to future IRS interpretation, deferred amounts
      will constitute wages for FICA tax purposes upon the later of: 
      (i) when the services are performed, or (ii) when the
      participant either attains age 60, completes 15 years of
      service, dies, becomes disabled, or retires under a
      CBS-sponsored pension plan.
  
  
                                   - 1 -

       In addition, for State and local income tax purposes, these
      distributions are treated as wages subject to withholding by
      the State and/or City where the participant performed services
      for CBS (or where the participant lived while performing the
      services).
  
       The Plan is not qualified under Section 401(a) of the
      Internal Revenue Code.
  
       Beginning in 1994, there will no longer be a ceiling on the
      amount of FICA wages subject to the 1.45% FICA tax.  Amounts
      that constituted wages for FICA tax purposes prior to 1994
      under the special FICA timing rules described above will not be
      subject to FICA tax in 1994 or later years.  In such cases,
      where the Plan participant attained age 60, completed 15 years
      of service, died, became disabled, or retired under a
      CBS-sponsored pension plan before 1994, FICA taxes will apply
      to additional contributions made after 1993 which were not
      previously taxed.
  
  4.   The Appendix set forth on Page 10 of the Prospectus is
  restated as follows:
