                                UNITS OF PARTICIPATION
                         UMB BANK COLLECTIVE INVESTMENT FUNDS

          This  Prospectus offers Units of Participation ("Units") in three
          separate   Collective   Investment   Funds   (the   "Funds"   and
          individually  a  "Fund")  that  have  been  established  and  are
          maintained by the Trust  Department of UMB Bank, n.a.  ("UMB") to
          provide   investment mediums  for retirement plans  utilizing the
          UMB Bank Defined Contribution Plan and Trust and  other qualified
          retirement plans for  which UMB is Trustee.   The Units are  only
          offered to  such plans.   THIS PROSPECTUS MAY  ONLY BE  USED WITH
          PART TWO AND SHOULD BE RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.  Units  are
          available in the following Funds (SEE INVESTMENT  POLICIES OF THE
          INVESTMENT FUNDS).

          FUND  FOR  POOLING  EQUITY INVESTMENTS  OF  EMPLOYEE  TRUSTS (THE
          "POOLED  EQUITY  FUND").   The  primary objective  of  the Pooled
          Equity Fund  is growth  in value  of  units of  the Fund  through
          investments in equity  securities and the reinvestment  of income
          therefrom.   Investment in other  securities to the extent deemed
          appropriate by UMB is not prohibited. 

          FUND FOR POOLING DEBT INVESTMENTS OF EMPLOYEE TRUSTS (THE "POOLED
          DEBT FUND").   The primary objective  of the Pooled  Debt Fund is
          stability in the value of underlying assets through investment in
          good quality fixed  income obligations, such as  those classified
          as A rated or better  by standard rating services, and growth  in
          unit  values  through  the  reinvestment  of   investment  income 
          therefrom.  Investment  in other securities to  the extent deemed
          appropriate by UMB is not prohibited. 

          POOLED  INCOME FUND  FOR  EMPLOYEE  TRUSTS  (THE  "POOLED  INCOME
          FUND").  The  primary objective of  the Pooled Income Fund  is to
          provide  a high  degree of  liquidity through  the investment  of
          funds in short-term fixed income obligations.   Unit value growth
          is determined by the level of short-term interest rates from time
          to time as income is  reinvested.  Investment in other securities
          to the extent deemed appropriate by UMB is not prohibited.  

          The Units of a Fund are offered  at a price that is calculated by
          dividing the market value of all the assets in the Fund including
          cash, if  any, less liabilities at  the close of business  on the
          valuation date by  the total number of outstanding  Units of that
          Fund on  the valuation  date (the date  on which  a participating
          plan may invest in a Fund).  No discounts or commissions are paid
          as a result of the sale of the Units.

          This  Prospectus  also describes  the investment  of assets  of a
          retirement plan that  utilizes the UMB Bank  Defined Contribution
          Plan and Trust  (a "DC Plan") in  one or more  of the Funds,  the
          right  of  an individual  participant  to  elect  to  direct  the
          investment of assets in such participant's account number under a
          DC Plan  and distribution of benefits under a DC Plan.

          THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE
          SECURITIES   AND  EXCHANGE   COMMISSION,  ANY   STATE  SECURITIES
          COMMISSION OR ANY OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY, NOR HAVE ANY OF THE
          FOREGOING AUTHORITIES  PASSED UPON  THE ACCURACY  OR ADEQUACY  OF
          THIS PROSPECTUS.    ANY  REPRESENTATION  TO  THE  CONTRARY  IS  A
          CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

          UNITS  OF  PARTICIPATION  IN  THE  FUNDS  ARE   NOT  DEPOSITS  OR
          OBLIGATIONS OF, OR GUARANTEED OR  ENDORSED BY UMB BANK, N.A., AND
          UNITS OF PARTICIPATION ARE  NOT FEDERALLY INSURED BY THE  FEDERAL
          DEPOSIT  INSURANCE CORPORATION, THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD, OR ANY
          OTHER  GOVERNMENTAL  AGENCY,  AND  INVOLVE  RISKS  INCLUDING  THE
          POSSIBLE LOSS OF PRINCIPAL.  THE COLLECTIVE INVESTMENT  FUNDS ARE
          NOT  REGISTERED  AS  INVESTMENT COMPANIES  UNDER  THE  INVESTMENT
          COMPANY ACT OF 1940 AND, THEREFORE, ARE NOT SUBJECT TO COMPLIANCE
          WITH THE  REQUIREMENTS OF  SUCH ACT.   UNITS ARE  NOT "REDEEMABLE
          SECURITIES" WITHIN THE MEANING OF  THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT  OF
          1940. 

          There is a market risk  inherent in any investment in securities,
          whether equity, debt  or other instruments, and the  value of the
          Funds'  investments vary  based  on many  factors.   Stock values
          fluctuate in response  to the activities of  individual companies
          and general  market conditions.   The  value of bonds  fluctuates
          based on changes in interest rates  and in the credit quality  of
          the  issuer (in general,  bond prices  raise when  interest rates
          fall, and vice versa).  In addition, the prices of securities may
          fluctuate because  of other market conditions,  economic factors, 
          governmental fiscal and  monetary policy, and other  reasons that
          cannot be anticipated and  are out of the control of the Trustee.
          Accordingly, there can  be no assurance that the  objectives of a
          Fund  will be  achieved, and  at  the time  Units in  a  Fund are
          withdrawn  by  reason  of  a   change  in  the  investment  in  a
          Participant's Account, the payment of benefits, or the withdrawal
          of  voluntary  contributions,  the  value of  such  Participant's
          interest  may be  more or  less  than the  amount contributed  to
          Participant's Account.

          No person has been authorized to give any information or to  make
          any representations in  connection with this offering  other than
          those contained  in this Prospectus  and, if given or  made, such
          information or  representations must  not be  relied upon.   This
          Prospectus does not constitute an offering in any jurisdiction in
          which such offering may not be legally made.

          INVESTORS ARE ADVISED TO CONSULT  WITH AN ATTORNEY OR TAX ADVISOR
          REGARDING THE REQUIREMENTS FOR ESTABLISHING A RETIREMENT PLAN AND
          TRUST AND INVESTING  IN THE UMB  COLLECTIVE INVESTMENT FUNDS  AND
          THE TAX CONSEQUENCES THEREOF.

                      SUMMARY OF THE COLLECTIVE INVESTMENT FUNDS

          The  Collective  Investment  Funds  are  trusts  that  have  been
          established by UMB, which is  also Trustee of the Funds,  for the
          purpose  of providing  investment  mediums for  certain qualified
          retirement   plans.    There  are  three  Funds,  the  investment
          objectives of which are as follows:

          FUND  FOR POOLING  EQUITY INVESTMENTS  OF EMPLOYEE  TRUSTS.   The
          primary objective of the Pooled Equity Fund, which was created by
          UMB in  1955, is  growth in value  of units  of the  Fund through
          investments in equity  securities and the reinvestment  of income
          therefrom.  Investment in  other securities to the extent  deemed 
          appropriate by UMB is not prohibited.  SEE INVESTMENT POLICIES OF
          THE COLLECTIVE INVESTMENT FUNDS.

          FUND  FOR  POOLING DEBT  INVESTMENTS  OF  EMPLOYEE  TRUSTS.   The
          primary objective of  the Pooled Debt Fund, which  was created by
          UMB  in 1955,  is stability  in  the value  of underlying  assets
          through investment in good quality fixed income obligations, such
          as  those classified  as A  rated  or better  by standard  rating
          services, and growth in  unit values through the reinvestment  of
          investment income therefrom.   Investment in other  securities to
          the  extent deemed  appropriate by  UMB is  not prohibited.   SEE
          INVESTMENT POLICIES OF THE COLLECTIVE INVESTMENT FUNDS.

          POOLED INCOME FUND FOR EMPLOYEE TRUSTS.  The primary objective of
          the Pooled Income Fund, which was  created by UMB in 1974, is  to
          provide a  high  degree of  liquidity through  the investment  of
          funds in short-term fixed income obligations.  Unit value  growth
          is determined by the level of short-term interest rates from time
          to time as income is  reinvested.  Investment in other securities
          to the extent deemed  appropriate by UMB is not prohibited.   SEE
          INVESTMENT POLICIES OF THE COLLECTIVE INVESTMENT FUNDS.

          The assets of  each of the Funds  are managed by UMB  as Trustee.
          UMB charges against the  assets of each plan  under the UMB  Bank
          Defined  Contribution Plan and  Trust certain fees  which are set
          forth in  a schedule  published from  time to  time by  UMB.   No
          start-up fees  are charged new  participants under a plan.   More
          detailed  information concerning  fees for  specific transactions
          under  a plan  is set  forth  under SUMMARY  OF  THE UMB  DEFINED
          CONTRIBUTION PLAN  AND TRUST and  TAXES, EXPENSES AND FEES.   All
          fees payable in connection with a plan are subject to change.

          Except for  withdrawal of  voluntary contributions  (SEE EMPLOYEE
          NONDEDUCTIBLE  VOLUNTARY  CONTRIBUTIONS)  the  methods  described
          under  Benefits are  the only  means by  which a  participant may
          redeem or receive benefits  from a participant's account under  a
          plan.

          NOTWITHSTANDING THE RESPECTIVE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES IN THE THREE
          SEPARATE  FUNDS, UMB,  AS TRUSTEE,  HAS  BROAD DISCRETION  IN THE
          INVESTMENT OF THE  ASSETS IN THE FUNDS, AND IS  NOT PROHIBITED BY
          THE   UMB  BANK  DEFINED   CONTRIBUTION  PLAN  AND   TRUST,  FROM
          CONCENTRATING THE ASSETS OF A FUND IN SECURITIES OF ONE ISSUER OR
          ONE  INDUSTRY,  PURCHASING  SECURITIES  ON  MARGIN, MAKING  SHORT
          SALES, TRADING IN  COMMODITIES, PURCHASING THE SECURITIES  OF NEW
          ENTERPRISES OR ENGAGING IN VARIOUS INVESTMENT PRACTICES WHICH ARE
          NOT SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THIS PROSPECTUS.

                     UMB BANK DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN AND TRUST

                                    PLAN AND TRUST

          In order to provide certain employers with a  means by which they
          may  establish  a  qualified retirement  plan  through  which the
          employers may have  contributions to such  plans invested in  the
          Funds, UMB  offers a Retirement  Plan ("Plan") and  related Trust
          ("Trust")  for  adoption  by  corporations,  associations,  self-
          employed individuals and  partnerships (each called  "Employer"),
          which has been  determined by the Internal Revenue  Service to be
          in  compliance   with  applicable  provisions  of   the  Employee
          Retirement Income  Security Act  of 1974,  as amended  ("ERISA").
          SEE UMB BANK DEFINED  CONTRIBUTION PLAN AND TRUST.   UMB acts  as
          Trustee under  a Plan and Trust  that has been established  by an
          employer.   SEE UMB AS  TRUSTEE OF THE DEFINED  CONTRIBUTION PLAN
          AND  TRUST.   Investments  of contributions  to  a Trust,  except
          contributions to Individually Directed Accounts, shall be made by
          the Trustee in its absolute discretion and the Trustee may invest
          contributions in the Pooled Equity Fund, the Pooled Debt Fund and
          the Pooled Income Fund or any combination thereof.  Investment of
          contributions  to an Individually Directed Account is directed by
          the Participant,  and such contributions  may be invested  in the
          Pooled Equity Fund, the Pooled  Debt Fund, the Pooled Income Fund
          or in any  form of investment  not prohibited by  ERISA.  At  the
          request of a  Participant in a Plan and Trust,  life insurance or
          annuity contracts may  be purchased for such  Participant subject
          to the limitations and restrictions of the Internal Revenue  Code
          and  Regulations  promulgated  thereunder.    SEE  INVESTMENT  OF
          PARTICIPANTS' ACCOUNTS AND DEFINITIONS OF CERTAIN TERMS. 

                              ADOPTION OF PLAN AND TRUST

          Any Employer may adopt a Plan  and Trust by executing an Adoption
          Agreement  designating  therein,  among  other  things,  (1)  the
          eligibility  requirement  for  employees  in  terms  of  age  and
          continuous  period  of employment,  (2)  whether  the Plan  is  a
          pension  or profit-sharing  plan, (3)  the  formula for  Employer
          contributions to the Plan, (4) the vesting schedule for  Employer
          contributions, and (5) the allocation of  Employer contributions.
          Adoption of  a Plan  and Trust establishes  a separate  Trust for
          each adopting Employer.  SEE ADOPTION OF A PLAN.

                              ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

          The Employer designates a Plan  Administrator for purposes of the
          requirements of ERISA and if no Plan Administrator is designated,
          the  Employer is deemed to  be the Plan  Administrator.  The Plan
          Administrator  determines   the  eligibility  of   Employees  for
          participation  and benefits,  maintains certain  records, advises
          the  Trustee   regarding  payments   and  individual   investment
          directions  of  Participants  and  has  the  exclusive  right  to
          establish such rules  and procedures as are  reasonably necessary
          for proper  and efficient administration  of the Plan.   The Plan
          Administrator   is  charged  with  all  duties  imposed  upon  an
          administrator under ERISA.  SEE AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION.

                                     THE TRUSTEE

          UMB is the Trustee  of a Plan and Trust that has  been adopted by
          an Employer  and may not  be designated as a  Plan Administrator.
          The  Trustee receives contributions  made under the  Plan and may
          invest them in its own discretion, unless a Participant elects to
          direct his  own account,  in the Pooled  Equity Fund,  the Pooled
          Debt  Fund, the Pooled  Income Fund, or  any combination thereof.
          The Trustee is not responsible for the administration of the Plan
          or for monitoring the Employer's  compliance with the Plan or for
          the performance of the Plan Administrator.  SEE UMB AS TRUSTEE OF
          THE FUNDS. 

          UMB has been a national bank since 1934 and was formerly The City
          National Bank & Trust Company of Kansas City.  It became a wholly
          owned subsidiary  of UMB  Financial Corporation  in 1969.   UMB's
          total assets as  of December 31, 1995 were  $2,931,553,000 and as
          of the same  date its deposits were $2,350,211,000  and its total
          capital accounts  were $241,443,000.  The Trust Department of UMB
          maintains several collective funds for trust investment and three
          separate pooled funds for employee benefit  plan investment.  The
          Trust  Department  of  UMB,  as  of  December  31, 1995,  managed
          approximately $8,000,000,000 in assets.

          The Trustee  may resign  at any time  by giving sixty  (60) days'
          prior written  notice to the  Employer.  The Employer  may remove
          the Trustee at any time by giving  sixty (60) days' prior written
          notice to the Trustee.  In the event of resignation or removal of 
          the Trustee,  the Employer  must appoint  in writing  a successor
          Trustee and such  successor Trustee must evidence  its acceptance
          of  the trusteeship  in  writing.   SEE RESIGNATION,  REMOVAL AND
          SUCCESSION OF TRUSTEE.

                             INVESTMENT OF CONTRIBUTIONS

          Unless  a Participant specifically  elects, by written  notice to
          the Trustee on  a form provided for  such purpose, to direct  the
          Trustee to separate  the Participant's interest in the  Plan in a
          separate  account which  is  designated an  Individually Directed
          Account, the Trustee will invest all contributions to the Plan in
          its own  discretion.   In its discretion  the Trustee  may invest
          contributions in  any one  or more  of the Collective  Investment
          Funds.  SEE THE COLLECTIVE INVESTMENT FUNDS.

                                    LIFE INSURANCE

          If authorized  by the Employer in the Plan  and at the request of
          any Participant, any  portion which  is less  than fifty  percent
          (50%)  of  the  Employer's  contribution  to  such  Participant's
          Account  may be  applied to  the  purchase of  life insurance  or
          annuity contracts.   The Trustee  will be the beneficiary  of the
          proceeds of any  such life insurance or annuity  contract and the
          owner of  all such contracts.   Upon the death of  a Participant,
          the  Plan Administrator  and the  Trustee  will take  appropriate
          action to procure payment of the proceeds of any such contract to
          the listed beneficiaries  of the Participant.   SEE INVESTMENT OF
          PARTICIPANTS' ACCOUNTS.

                       CHARGES APPLICABLE TO THE PLAN AND TRUST

          Unless  otherwise  paid  by  the  Employer,  the  following  will
          constitute charges upon the Trust and will be paid by the Trustee
          out of the Trust:

               (1)  all taxes imposed upon the  Trust, the income or assets
                    of the Trust or the Trustee in its capacity as Trustee;
               (2)  all expenses incurred by the Trustee in its capacity as
                    Trustee, including  attorneys' fees,  accountants' fees
                    and  other  expenses  incurred by  the  Trustee  in the
                    performance of its duties in connection with the Trust;
                    and
               (3)  fees  and other  compensation of  the  Trustee for  its
                    services under the Plan.

          Within sixty  (60) days after  the close  of each Plan  year, the
          Trustee will render to the Employer and to the Plan Administrator
          a written  accounting of all  charges made upon the  Trust during
          the preceding year, such written accounting to be approved by the
          Employer.  SEE TAXES, EXPENSES AND FEES. 

                               FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES

          In  computing  adjusted  gross  income  for  federal  income  tax
          purposes, an Employer may deduct the full amount of contributions
          to  the Plan,  within the  contribution  limits of  the Plan,  on
          behalf of the Participants who are common-law employees, and such
          contributions will not  be includable in the gross  income of the
          employees.   Contributions on behalf of the  Participants who are
          self-employed persons  will be  includable in  gross income,  but
          such  a  Participant,  in computing  adjusted  gross  income, may
          deduct the Employer's contribution on his behalf up to $30,000 or
          the percentage contribution limit of the Plan, whichever is less.
          Amounts  distributed  from  the Trust  generally  are  subject to
          federal income tax at the time of distribution.  However, benefit
          payments  representing   a  return  of   Nondeductible  Voluntary
          Contributions  are not taxable  income.   SEE FEDERAL  INCOME TAX
          CONSEQUENCES OF UMB DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN AND TRUST AND OTHER
          TAX CONSEQUENCES.

                           THE COLLECTIVE INVESTMENT FUNDS

                         INVESTMENT OF PARTICIPANTS' ACCOUNTS

          Subject to the  right of any Participant  to elect to  direct the
          investments   of  his  or   her  Individually  Directed  Account,
          including the right to direct the purchase of life insurance, the
          Trustee  manages the  investment  of all  participants'  accounts
          under each separate participating retirement  plan in a Fund as a
          single fund.   The assets of each  such plan are invested  in the
          Funds, with  the debt/equity ratios determined from  time to time
          by   the  Trustee,   often   following   consultation   with   or
          recommendations by the Employer.

          Records   of  the   Participants'   interests  in   the  separate
          participating  retirement  plans  (not to  be  confused  with the
          Funds) may be  maintained either on a "dollars  and cents" basis,
          or on a  "shares" basis, whichever the  Trustee deems appropriate
          in each case.

          Where a  "shares" basis accounting method is employed, shares are
          initially created at the  value of $1 each.   At each  subsequent
          valuation date of  the particular retirement  plan, the value  of
          each share  is determined by  dividing the number  of outstanding
          shares of  such plan into the total  current fair market value of
          all  net  assets of  the  retirement plan.    Shares representing
          benefit payments  to be distributed  or insurance premiums  to be
          paid as of any pertinent plan  valuation date are cancelled as of
          their  value on  that  valuation  date.   Similarly,  new  shares
          representing  additional   contributions  to   be  allocated   to 
          participants are  created at  the share  value applicable  on the
          pertinent plan valuation date.

          In  determining the  current fair  market  value of  assets of  a
          particular participating retirement plan, the current unit values
          of the Funds, as determined by the Trustee, are multiplied by the
          number of units of participation in a Fund or the Funds  owned by
          the particular plan.

          The regular valuation date for each participating retirement plan
          is the last business day of the plan year.  Additional  valuation
          dates  may  occur  throughout  the  plan  year  as  necessary  or
          desirable for  administrative purposes, including  the occurrence
          of  a benefit distribution event  and the allocation of voluntary
          or salary deferral contributions.  The additional valuation dates
          correspond to the last business day of a calendar month.

                       SUMMARY OF UNITS OF PARTICIPATION VALUES

          The table below shows the value at each annual valuation date for
          the date  indicated of a  unit of  participation in  each of  the

                                INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT

          In managing the investments of the Funds, UMB, as Trustee for the
          Funds, invests and reinvests the assets of the  Funds in a manner
          consistent with  the policies  described below  under "Investment
          Policies  of the  Collective  Investment  Funds."    UMB's  Trust
          Department  is  responsible for  the  continuing  supervision and
          evaluation  of  all  investment   funds.    Research,   portfolio
          management, security trading, and statistical review and analysis
          are carried on  by the Trust Department under  the supervision of
          the senior trust investment officer.

          All investments  of  the Funds  in  securities are  reviewed  and
          approved  by the Trust Management  and Trust Policy Committees of
          UMB.   These  committees  are composed  of  senior bank  officers
          and/or  directors.  Portfolio managers are provided with specific
          guidelines with  respect to the balance between  equity and fixed
          income  securities,  diversification  of  equity  investment   by
          industry and by  company, and the timing of  purchases and sales.
          The guidelines are prepared by UMB's Trust Department, subject to
          approval by UMB's Trust Policy Committee.

                         BROKERAGE OF SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

          The Trust Department of UMB does not act as a broker or dealer in
          securities  transactions.   Moreover,  as  a  matter  of  general
          policy, no  person exercising discretionary  investment authority
          on  behalf  of  UMB is  permitted  to  acquire  or dispose  of  a
          substantial portion of securities of  any issuer at the time such
          securities  are being  purchased or  sold by  or for  any of  the
          Funds.  It  is UMB's general practice to  select security brokers
          on the  basis of their  ability to provide the  best execution on
          the  purchase or  sale of  portfolio  securities for  all of  the
          Funds.  Fixed income security transactions are normally done on a
          net basis while commissions are  paid for the execution of common
          stock  and  convertible  security transactions.    When executing
          security   transactions   requiring    commissions,   UMB   gives
          consideration  to  research  services provided  by  brokers  and,
          therefore, does  not  limit  the  placing of  orders  to  brokers
          providing  only sales  execution services.    A portion  of these
          commissions  is derived from security transactions for the Funds.
          Research  reports  received in  exchange for  commission business
          cover  a  wide  variety  of subjects  ranging  from  economic and
          monetary and fiscal policy through reports on specific companies,
          and such  research is used extensively by UMB's analytical group.
          UMB may cause the Fund to pay a  member of an exchange, broker or
          dealer  an  amount  of  commission  for  effecting  a  securities
          transaction in excess of the amount of commission  another member
          of an exchange, broker or dealer would have charged for effecting
          the transaction, but  only when UMB has determined  in good faith
          that such amount of commission  was reasonable in relation to the
          value  of the brokerage  and research  services provided  by such
          member,  broker  or  dealer,  viewed  in  terms  of  either  that
          particular  transaction or  UMB's  overall responsibilities  with 
          respect  to the  accounts  as to  which  it exercises  investment
          discretion.

          In  addition to  research services  and  information obtained  in
          connection  with  specific  brokerage  transactions as  described
          above,   UMB   currently   has   such   commission    agreements,
          understandings or  both with Bear  Stearns & Co.;   Paine Webber;
          Kidder  Peabody;  Prudential;  Rochdale  Securities;  Standard  &
          Poor's  Corporation;  Morgan  Stanley,  Inc.;  Broadcort  Capital
          Corp.; Capital  Institutional Services,  Inc. and  Chicago Corp.,
          concerning  the  providing  of  statistical  reports  on economic
          conditions  and reports relative to the investment performance of
          various money managers  and data on selected securities  that are
          considered for purchase in these Funds, all such reports and data
          having been compiled  by third parties.  The  commissions paid to
          the   companies  providing  such   reports  and   data  aggregate
          approximately  thirty  percent  (30%)   of  the  total  brokerage
          commissions paid  by UMB  on an annual  basis.  Such  reports and
          data are  available to UMB in  its management of pooled  funds as
          well as all of its other accounts.

                INVESTMENT POLICIES OF THE COLLECTIVE INVESTMENT FUNDS

                                INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES

          The  primary  investment  objective  of  each  of  the  Funds  is
          summarized  forth  under  SUMMARY  OF  THE COLLECTIVE  INVESTMENT
          FUNDS.   With the  exception of the  U.S. Government  and Federal
          Agency  issues, not  more  than 10%  of the  market value  of the
          assets of any Fund is invested in the securities of a  particular
          issuer.    UMB,  as  Trustee,  seeks  to realize  the  investment
          objective of each of the Funds as follows:

          POOLED  EQUITY  FUND.    This  Fund  is  invested  in  a  broadly
          diversified portfolio of common stocks and convertible securities
          which is  designed to give  representation in  those segments  of
          industry which UMB feels will  grow more rapidly than the economy
          as a whole.  These investments are supplemented from time to time
          by   some  exposure  to  more  cyclical  industries  when  deemed
          appropriate  considering the  objectives of  the  Fund.   Current
          yield is not  a prime consideration as growth  in value is sought
          through appreciation  of capital over a period of years.  At such
          time  as economic and other considerations dictate, a significant
          portion of  the Fund may  be invested in short-term  fixed income
          obligations.

          POOLED  DEBT FUND.    This  Fund is  invested  primarily in  U.S.
          government,   federal   agency   and   corporate   fixed   income
          obligations, mortgages and mortgage  participations.  In managing
          the  assets   of  this  Fund,  consideration  is   given  to  the
          prospective trends in short,  intermediate and long-term interest 
          rates,   yield   differentials   between   various   grades   and
          classifications  of securities and  attractiveness of discount or
          premium   bonds.     Funds  awaiting   permanent  investment   or
          distribution are  placed in short-term  money market instruments.
          Capital  growth is  attained  primarily  through reinvestment  of
          interest income.

          POOLED  INCOME  FUND.    This  Fund  is  invested  in  short-term
          (maturities up to  5 years) fixed income obligations  in order to
          provide   maximum   current    income   consistent   with   ready
          marketability.  Investments may  be made in direct  or guaranteed
          obligations of the United States of America or  agencies thereof,
          state or  local government  agencies, debt  securities issued  by
          corporations   or   other   business   organizations,   including
          commercial paper, certificates of  deposits issued by  commercial
          banks  (other  than  UMB),  savings  banks  or savings  and  loan
          associations,  other securities  or obligations  of  the type  or
          types  commonly  known  as  money-market  instruments  or  liquid
          guaranteed  contracts issued by major insurance companies and are
          concentrated in those areas which appear most attractive, quality
          considered.   Maturities are staggered to provide liquidity based
          on historical cash flow considerations.  Growth in capital values
          resulting from  reinvested  income will  vary significantly  with
          changes in short-term interest rates, but fluctuations in capital
          values are generally minimal by reason of short maturities.

                                     MARKET RISKS

          There is a market risk  inherent in any investment in securities,
          whether equity,  debt or other  instruments since  the prices  of
          securities may  fluctuate because of market  conditions, economic
          factors,  governmental  fiscal  and  monetary  policy,  and other
          reasons that cannot be anticipated and are out of the control  of
          the Trustee.   Accordingly,  there can be  no assurance  that the
          objectives of a Fund will be achieved, and at the time Units in a
          Fund are withdrawn by reason of  a change in the investment in  a
          Participant's Account, the payment of benefits, or the withdrawal
          of  voluntary  contributions,  the value  of  such  Participant's
          interest may  be more or  less than the  amount contributed to  a
          Participant's Account.

                              VALUATION OF FUNDS' ASSETS

          The Trustee of  the Funds revalues the units  of participation of
          each Fund  as of each Fund's  valuation date.   The last business
          day of each  month is the regular  valuation date.  The  new unit
          value is computed  by determining the market value  of all assets
          of the  Fund, including  cash, if any,  less liabilities,  at the
          close of business  on the valuation date, and  then dividing that
          value by the total number of units outstanding on that date.

          On each  valuation date, the  Trustee computes the net  income or
          loss of  each Fund  since the  last valuation  date.    All  such
          income is included in the principal value of the Fund and of each 
          outstanding  unit.     Income  is  retained  in   each  Fund  for
          reinvestment and is not distributed in cash to each participating
          retirement plan.

          Any retirement plan  participating in the Funds may acquire units
          of participation in  a Fund or may  redeem any units it  holds on
          any valuation  date at  the new  unit value.   Any  plan that  is
          redeeming units  must give notice  of its  intention to do  so at
          least five days in advance of a valuation date.

                                    TURNOVER RATES

          UMB cannot estimate with any reasonable certainty what the annual
          turnover  rate for the assets held by  the Funds will be.  If the
          value  of   withdrawals  from  a   Fund  exceeds  the   value  of
          contributions directed  to be  invested in such  Fund in  a given
          year,  that Fund  will be  required to  reduce its  holdings (and
          incur brokerage fees) independent of any sales and purchases made
          by UMB  as Trustee  of the Funds  in its  efforts to  achieve the
          investment objectives of  such Fund.  In any  event, the turnover
          rate  of  a  Fund  will  depend  upon  the  extent UMB  deems  it
          reasonable and appropriate  to dispose of and replace  certain of
          such Fund's investments  as a means  of achieving its  investment
          objectives.

          The turnover  rates of  the Pooled Equity  Fund, the  Pooled Debt
          Fund and the  Pooled Income Fund  for the past five  fiscal years
          are shown in the table below.

          All  turnover rates  are calculated  as  a percentage  of market
          value  of assets  in the respective  Fund.   The basic  method of
          calculation  of turnover rates is to divide the total sales for a
          quarter by the  average market value for the quarter and then add
          the four quarterly changes together to obtain the annual turnover
          rate.

                             UMB AS TRUSTEE OF THE FUNDS

          Regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency prohibit  UMB from
          having  any interest in  the Funds other than  in its capacity as
          Trustee.  Such  regulations prohibit UMB  from lending money  to,
          selling property to or purchasing property from a Fund except for
          temporary net  cash overdrafts,  and no assets  of a Fund  may be
          invested in stock  or obligations of UMB, except  that funds held
          by UMB as Trustee pending suitable investment or distribution may
          temporarily be  held in time  or savings deposits with  UMB.  UMB
          cannot purchase securities for  the Funds from its  own portfolio
          or trading  account.    Regulations  of the  Comptroller  of  the
          Currency also prohibit  UMB from making any loan  on the security
          of the units of participation.

          Such regulations do not prohibit UMB from investing the assets of
          any Fund in  the securities of issuers which  have borrowed funds
          from UMB's  commercial loan division or which maintain deposit or
          other  accounts or otherwise have an ongoing banking relationship
          with UMB, and UMB may purchase the securities of such issuers for
          any of the Funds (including  securities the proceeds of which may
          be used, in whole or in part, to repay loans to such issuers from
          UMB).   However, in  acting as  Trustee for the  Funds and  other
          fiduciary  accounts, the personnel  of UMB's Trust  Department do
          not  discuss their  investment decisions  with  any personnel  of
          UMB's commercial banking department, and investment decisions for
          the  Funds and  other fiduciary  accounts are  made by  the Trust
          Department solely  from the  standpoint of  the interest  of such
          fiduciary accounts.

               the Plan, each consecutive twelve-month period of employment
               with the Employer during which an Employee has completed one
               thousand or more Hours of Service.

                                  ADOPTION OF A PLAN

          An Employer may  adopt a Plan and  establish a Trust,  subject to
          acceptance by UMB,  by completing and duly  executing an Adoption
          Agreement.  The Employer must indicate  in the Adoption Agreement
          whether  the Plan is a new  Plan or an amendment and continuation
          of another  retirement plan.   If the  latter, the  amendment and
          continuation must  be permitted  by the  terms and conditions  of
          such other plan, and  all assets of that plan must be transferred
          to UMB, as Trustee of the Plan.  Generally, where the predecessor
          plan  was a  qualified  plan,  appointment  of UMB  as  successor
          Trustee will not have adverse tax consequences to the Employer or
          to any Participant.

          The Plan  provides for election  by the  Employer concerning  the
          following details of  participation, which may differ  as between
          different  Employers,  and  which  are  stated  in  the  Adoption
          Agreement: (1) the Effective Date of the Plan; (2) the number  of
          months  of  service  required  of Employees  to  be  eligible for
          participation;   (3)   the   vesting    schedule   for   Employer
          contributions; (4) the amount  to be contributed by the  Employer
          on  behalf of  each  Participant,  which  cannot  exceed  certain
          limitations, described below  under "Contributions"; (5)  whether
          the Plan is to be a  Pension or Profit Sharing Plan; (6)  whether
          participant loans, life  insurance, salary deferral contributions
          and   voluntary  contributions   are  authorized;  and   (7)  the
          allocation of  Employer contributions.   The Employer is  free to
          amend  the Plan to change one  or more of such elections although
          amendments  are subject to the general restrictions on amendments
          of the Plan by an Employer.  SEE AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION.

              UMB AS TRUSTEE OF THE DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN AND TRUST

          The   Plan  gives  UMB,  as  Trustee  of  the  Trust  established
          thereunder,  broad  powers  with respect  to  the  management and
          disposition of  Trust assets.   These powers,  as more  fully set
          forth in Article 11 of the Plan, include the right to  invest and
          reinvest the assets  of the Trust  in evidences of  indebtedness,
          evidences of  ownership, securities  and other  personal property 
          and real property as the Trustee shall in its absolute discretion
          select;  purchase  life  insurance  and  annuity  contracts  when
          directed  to do  so  by  the Plan  Administrator;  to maintain  a
          portion  of the assets  of the Trust in  cash and unproductive of
          income as  it may deem  advisable or expedient; to  sell, assign,
          exchange,  convey   or  otherwise   transfer,  lease,   mortgage,
          encumber, improve, abandon,  alter or raze any part or all of the
          securities or  other property  of the Trust  upon such  terms and
          conditions as in its sole discretion  it shall deem to be in  the
          best  interest of  the Trust;  to  exercise all  the rights  with
          respect to any certificates of  stock or other securities held by
          it as  assets of  the  Trust, including  the  right to  vote  all
          certificates  of  stock; to  sue  or  defend  any suit  or  legal
          proceeding  by or  against the  Trust;  to acquire  and hold  any
          securities or other property of  the Trust without disclosing its
          fiduciary capacity; to employ attorneys, accountants  and others,
          as it may deem advisable in the  best interests of the Trust, and
          to pay  their reasonable  expenses and  compensation  out of  the
          Trust;  to  execute   and  deliver,  as  Trustee,   any  and  all
          instruments  in writing  necessary or  proper  for the  effective
          exercise of  any of  the Trustee's powers;  to borrow  money from
          others and to advance its own funds to the Trust upon  such terms
          it deems to be  in the best interests of the  Trust; to determine
          what is principal and what is income of the Trust and to allocate
          gains and losses between principal and income; to sell options to
          purchase the securities held in the Trust; and to perform any and
          all other acts  in its judgment necessary or  appropriate for the
          proper and  advantageous management, investment  and distribution
          of the Trust.

                                  PLAN ADMINISTRATOR

          ERISA  provides  that  administrators  and  trustees  of  certain
          retirement  plans and  trusts are  subject  to certain  fiduciary
          standards  in addition  to any  standard  imposed by  instruments
          establishing  a plan or trust.   In the case of  a Plan under the
          Plan and Trust,  the Plan Administrator will be  the Employer for
          all purposes of  ERISA and the  Code unless another person  is so
          designated  in the Adoption Agreement.   ERISA prohibits the Plan
          Administrators, Employers,  Trustees and certain  related persons
          from engaging  in  certain  transactions with  the  assets  of  a
          retirement trust, including, generally, the sale, exchange, lease
          or  loan  of  property,  the  furnishing  of goods,  services  or
          facilities, or the transfer of assets of the trust, to or by such
          persons.  ERISA imposes  excise taxes on employers, trustees  and
          other disqualified persons who engage in prohibited  transactions
          with a plan.   ERISA also imposes civil  liabilities on trustees,
          administrators  and other fiduciaries for violations of the Act's
          standards  and requires the  Plan Administrator to  make detailed
          disclosures  and  reports regarding  a  plan  or  trust  and  its
          administration.

          UMB will assist Employers and the Plan Administrators in  meeting
          their  reporting  and  disclosure  requirements  under  ERISA  by 
          preparing  and distributing  annually to  Participants  after the
          close  of  the  Funds'  fiscal  year a  revised  edition  of  the
          Prospectus  and  its  accompanying financial  statements,  and  a
          statement  of transactions for  each Participant's Account.   UMB
          will also  provide such  Employers and  Plan Administrators  with
          such information regarding the Funds and the Plan as is necessary
          to  enable such persons to meet their statutory responsibilities.
          However, Employers adopting  the Plan should  seek the advice  of
          counsel  regarding   the   reporting   requirements   and   other
          responsibilities and  duties to which  they may be  subject under
          ERISA.

                              PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN

          The  Plan provides  that, subject  to  certain limitations,  each
          Employee  will be eligible to  participate in the  Plan as of his
          Entry Date.   An Employee becomes eligible to  participate, if he
          is then employed, either on  the date the Plan becomes effective,
          if the Employee  has then satisfied the  eligibility requirements
          of the  Plan, or the  first Entry  Date thereafter  on which  the
          Employee meets the eligibility requirements  of the Plan.  If the
          Employee has a Break in Service before he satisfies the period of
          employment required  by the  Plan, months  of service  before the
          Break in Service will be disregarded for  purposes of determining
          eligibility during a period of subsequent employment.

                                    CONTRIBUTIONS

          Employer  Contributions.   If the  Employer  establishes a  money
          purchase  pension  plan,   the  Employer  is  required   to  make
          contributions  on behalf of each  Participant, in an amount equal
          to  the percentage of the Participant's Compensation specified in
          the  Adoption  Agreement,  which  may  not  exceed 25%  of  total
          Compensation.

          If the Employer  adopts a Profit Sharing  Plan, contributions may
          be made by the Employer on behalf of any Participant in a taxable
          year  of the  Employer  regardless of  whether  the Employer  has
          current  or  accumulated  earnings or  profits.    The Employer's
          contribution  is  determined  in  accordance  with  the  Employer
          Contribution  Formula in the  Adoption Agreement executed  by the
          Employer which may not exceed 15% of total Compensation.

          An  Employer  may  adopt  more   than  one  Plan,  but  under  no
          circumstances  may  the   total  amount  allocated  to   any  one
          Participant exceed 25% of the Participant's Compensation from the
          Employer or $30,000, whichever is less.

          Employee Nondeductible  Voluntary Contributions.  If the Employer
          so elects,  each Participant may  contribute to the Plan  for his
          own Account, but only through his  Employer up to an amount, when
          added  to  the  allocation  otherwise  made  on  behalf  of   the
          participant,  that does  not  exceed  25%  of  the  participant's 
          compensation   or  $30,000,  whichever  is  less.    Earnings  on
          voluntary  contributions are exempt from federal income tax while
          held  in the  Trust.   If  the Employer  elects  in its  Adoption
          Agreement, voluntary  contributions may  be withdrawn  as of  the
          last business day  of any quarter, after all adjustments required
          under  the Plan have been made, by written notice to UMB, through
          the Plan Administrator.  Voluntary contributions are allocated to
          a contributing  Participant's Account as  of the last day  of the
          quarter in which they are received by UMB.

          Salary  Deferral Contributions.   If  the  Employer elects,  each
          Participant  may reduce  his compensation  from  the Employer  in
          exchange for contribution of that amount to the Plan on behalf of
          the Participant.  Such amounts are  not included in the income of
          the Participant, until received as  a distribution from the Plan.
          If the Employer  elects, the Participant may be  able to withdraw
          salary deferral contributions prior  to termination of employment
          upon reaching age 59  or hardship.

                             RESTRICTIONS ON INVESTMENTS

          Although UMB, as  Trustee, has broad investment discretion  as to
          how the assets of the  Funds are invested, the Plan  requires UMB
          not  to invest  or reinvest  assets  of the  Funds in  securities
          issued by  any Employer  which has  adopted the  Plan.   The Plan
          further specifies that  UMB, as Trustee, shall not  engage in any
          transaction of the nature described and prohibited by Section 406
          of ERISA including amendments and regulations pertaining thereto.

          THE FUNDS.

                          VESTING OF PARTICIPANT'S INTEREST

          A  Participant's right to  contributions paid to  the Trust under
          the  Plan  will   become  fully  vested  and   nonforfeitable  in
          accordance  with the vesting schedule established by the Employer
          in the Adoption Agreement.  The value of a Participant's interest
          in  the  Plan may  decline  due to    decreases in  value  of the
          investments held in any of  the Funds in which contributions made
          by  or on  behalf of  the Participant  are invested.   See Market
          Risks.

                                       BENEFITS

          Except  for  withdrawal  of  voluntary  contributions  or  salary
          deferral contributions (See Contributions), the methods described
          under  this  section entitled  "Benefits" are  the only  means by
          which  a Participant  may  redeem or  receive benefits  from such
          Participant's Account.

          Valuation  of  Participant's  Account.   The  participation  of a
          Participant  will cease  on the  day when  his employment  by the
          Employer terminates.  Except for Individually Directed  Accounts,
          the  aggregate value  of all  Accounts of  a Participant  will be 
          determined  as of  the  Valuation Date  coincident  with or  next
          preceding the distribution of his benefit and shall be designated
          the  Participant's Benefit  Amount.    For Individually  Directed
          Accounts,  the aggregate value of all Accounts of the Participant
          shall  be  determined  as  of  the  date  on  which  the  Trustee
          distributed the benefits.

          Retirement Benefits.  A Participant's Benefit Amount will be paid
          in the  form of a  joint and survivor  annuity unless one  of the
          following  methods of  distributions  is  directed  by  the  Plan
          Administrator  at the  Participant's  request in  compliance with
          conditions set forth in the Plan:

               (1) payment in lump-sum;

               (2)  payment  in  one  or  more  annual   or  more  frequent
               installments.

          Disability  Benefits.    In  the  event  the  Plan  Administrator
          determines  that a Participant  has suffered Permanent  and Total
          Disability,  the Participant  will be  entitled  to a  disability
          benefit.  The Participant's Benefit Amount will be distributed by
          one of the  methods described above under  "Retirement Benefits,"
          as  elected  by   the  Participant,  with  spousal   consent  (as
          applicable).

          Death  Benefits-Beneficiaries.   A  Participant's Benefit  Amount
          will be  payable in one  lump-sum unless the Beneficiary,  in the
          Beneficiary's discretion, elects another  method of distribution.
          If the Participant  is married, the Participant's  Benefit Amount
          will be in the form of a survivor annuity, unless another benefit
          form has  been elected pursuant  to the Plan.   The Plan provides
          for   the  designation   by  a   Participant  of   one  or   more
          beneficiaries, including successive  or contingent beneficiaries,
          and for changes  in the designation of beneficiaries from time to
          time without the consent of a prior beneficiary.  The interest in
          the Account of a Participant given to any beneficiary ceases upon
          the  beneficiary's  death.    If  the  Participant  dies  without
          designating  a beneficiary or  if the Participant  has designated
          beneficiaries,  but no beneficiary is alive to receive any amount
          which may become payable to  the beneficiary, the interest in the
          Participant's Account will be paid to the Participant's surviving
          spouse, or if  none, the Participant's children, or  if none, the
          Participant's estate.

          Termination of Service.  In  the event a Participant's employment
          with  the  Employer  is  terminated  for any  reason  other  than
          retirement, death or disability, the Participant's Benefit Amount
          shall be paid as follows:

               (1)  If the  Participant's  Benefit Amount  does not  exceed
                    $3,500, such Participant's Benefit Amount shall be paid
                    in full  in a lump-sum within sixty  days following the 
                    close of  the Plan Year  during which a  termination of
                    service occurred;

               (2)  If the Participant's Benefit Amount does exceed $3,500,
                    it shall be distributed by one of the methods described
                    above  under "Retirement  Benefits," as elected  by the
                    Participant, with spousal consent (as applicable).

          Special Rule.  Regardless of all information stated above in this
          section   entitled   "Benefits,"    the   distribution   of   the
          Participant's Benefit Amount to any Participant generally must be
          commenced upon the Participant attaining the age of 70  years and
          may be available  upon reaching  the later of  age 59  or  Normal
          Retirement Age under the Plan.

          Assignment of Benefits.  The interest of a Participant in a Trust
          and the  right of any  person to receive  any payment of  benefit
          provided under the Plan cannot be subject to assignment or in any
          manner  be transferable or  encumberable, either by  voluntary or
          involuntary actions of a Participant or  other person, except for
          purposes of a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

                              AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

          Adoption of the  Plan is completely voluntary on the  part of the
          Employer, and the Employer has the right at any time to amend the
          Plan, to change the  person designated as the Plan  Administrator
          and  to change the elections made in the Adoption Agreement.  SEE
          ADOPTION OF A  PLAN.   The Employer  may also amend  the Plan  in
          other  respects and  continue  the Plan  as amended  with another
          trustee  or custodian.   In  such  event, UMB,  as Trustee,  will
          transfer all assets held under the Plan to such  other trustee or
          custodian.

          Subject  to notice requirements  that may  be imposed by law, UMB
          has the right to amend the  Plan and Trust and, concurrently each
          retirement plan and trust established in the form of the Plan and
          Trust shall be automatically amended.  However, no such amendment
          shall become effective  until a written copy of  the amendment is
          received  by the  Employer.   Receipt  of a  written  copy of  an
          amendment by  an Employer is  the only notice necessary  prior to
          the amendment becoming effective.

          No amendment to the Plan, as described above, may be made (except
          as may be required for the qualification of the Plan and the tax-
          exempt status of the  Trust under the Code)  which will (1)  give
          the Employer an interest in, or ownership or control of, any part
          of  the  Trust or  the  assets  thereof,  (2) make  possible  the
          diversion of  any part of a Trust for  any purpose other than the
          exclusive benefit of  Participant in such  Trust, (3) operate  to
          deprive any Participant  of benefits previously vested  in him or
          (4) change the rights, duties or responsibilities  of the Trustee
          without the consent of the Trustee. 

          The Plan will terminate on the date (1) the Plan is terminated by
          the  Employer,  if  the  Employer  gives written  notice  of  the
          termination  to the  Trustee,  (2)  the  Employer  is  judicially
          declared bankrupt or a general assignment is made by the Employer
          for  the benefit  of  creditors  or (3)  the  Employer loses  its
          identity by dissolution, merger, consolidation or  reorganization
          unless  within  thirty  days  thereafter   provision  in  writing
          consented  to by  the Trustee  is made  by the  successor to  the
          Employer to continue  the Plan  and Trust.   The  Plan will  also
          terminate on  the resignation or  removal of the Trustee  when no
          successor Trustee has been appointed and accepted the appointment
          within sixty days after the  effective date of the resignation or
          removal.

          If  the Plan is  terminated, the Trustee  will pay  all taxes and
          expenses  thereunder, will pay unpaid installments of any benefit
          payable in  installments in a  lump-sum in full, will  assign and
          deliver to Participant's life insurance contracts which have been
          purchased on their  lives and will then  distribute the remaining
          assets of the  Trust, or  the proceeds  thereof in  the event  of
          liquidation,  to the Participants in the  Plan in such proportion
          as  the aggregate value of each Participant's account or accounts
          bears to  the  total  value of  all  accounts  then  outstanding.
          Participants maintaining  Individually Directed Accounts  will be
          entitled to a distribution of the full value of such Individually
          Directed Account minus the Participant's pro rata share of  taxes
          and expenses.

                    RESIGNATION, REMOVAL AND SUCCESSION OF TRUSTEE

          The Trustee may resign  at any time by giving sixty  days advance
          written  notice to  the Employer.   The  Employer may  remove the
          Trustee  by  giving sixty  days  advance  written notice  to  the
          Trustee.   In  the  event  of the  removal  of the  Trustee,  the
          Employer will  appoint a  successor  trustee in  writing and  the
          successor  trustee will  accept the  trusteeship of the  Trust in
          writing.

                               TAXES, EXPENSES AND FEES

          The  Plan provides  that the  following  will constitute  charges
          under the Trust and will be paid by the Trustee out of the assets
          of the  Trust unless otherwise  paid by  the Employer:   (1)  all
          taxes  imposed upon  the Trust,  the Trustee  in its  capacity as
          Trustee,  or upon  the assets  or income  of  the Trust;  (2) all
          expenses incurred by the Trustee in the performance of its duties
          including attorneys'  fees, accountants' fees and  other expenses
          incurred in  connection with  the Trust; and  (3) fees  and other
          compensation of the Trustee for its services hereunder in amounts
          agreed  upon from time to  time by the  Employer and the Trustee.
          Within sixty days  after the close of each Plan Year, the Trustee
          will render to the Employer  and the Plan Administrator a written
          accounting  of  all  charges  made  upon  the  Trust  during  the
          preceding year. 

          No taxes are currently imposed upon the Trust, the Trustee in its
          capacity  as Trustee, or upon the assets  or income of the Trust.
          Although the Trustee does not anticipate any taxes  being imposed
          upon the Trust, the assets or income of the Trust or  upon itself
          as Trustee,  the Trustee  cannot make  any assurances that  taxes
          will not be so imposed in the future.

          No specific expenses to be imposed as charges under the Trust are
          currently  anticipated   except  expenses   in  connection   with
          providing  Plan Participants with annual revised editions of this
          Prospectus including accompanying financial statements.  Although
          UMB has paid  all expenses in connection with  preparation of the
          original Prospectus and  the accompanying registration procedure,
          expenses incurred in connection with annually revised editions of
          the Prospectus may be allocated  pro rata among the Participants'
          Accounts and the Trust.

          Certain fees are  charged in accordance with a  schedule which is
          published from  time to time by  UMB.  The schedule  is available
          upon request and is subject to periodic change.

          All fees are subject to change.  In the event the Trustee changes
          any of  the fees,  written notice  of the effective  date of  any
          change is given to  the Employer prior to  the effective date  of
          the change.  Notice of fee changes is not given directly  to each
          Participant.

          The annual  fees and specific  charges are intended to  cover the
          normal expenses incurred  by UMB with  respect to management  and
          administration of  particular Trust's or  Participants' accounts.
          The  Plan permits UMB  to charge extraordinary  expenses, such as
          fees  of  attorneys  and  accountants,  and  all  taxes  properly
          chargeable to the Trust or  Participants' accounts, to the assets
          of the Trust or such Participants' accounts.   Where appropriate,
          expenses  and  taxes  will  be  allocated  among  the  Trust' and
          Participants' accounts  with respect  to which  the expenses  and
          taxes were incurred.

                                      LITIGATION

          UMB  is engaged  in  litigation  of various  kinds  which in  its
          judgment is not  of material importance in relation  to its total
          assets.   None of the  litigation now in progress  relates to the
          Plan and Trust or the Funds.

                          LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF TRUSTEE

          The Plan provides that the Trustee shall not be liable for action
          upon  any notice,  direction,  certificate,  or  other  paper  or
          document believed by the  Trustee to be genuine and  to have been
          executed   by  a  Participant,  the  Plan  Administrator  or  the
          Employer,  or  by  a  duly  authorized  person  representing  the
          Employer.  The  Trustee has no duty to  investigate the financial
          condition of any legal reserve life insurance company licensed to 
          do  business  in the  state  of  Missouri before  purchasing  any
          insurance policy or annuity contract.

                                          OF
                       UMB DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN AND TRUST

          A principal motive for the establishment of a retirement plan and
          trust is  the favorable  tax consequence  which  may be  obtained
          thereby.  UMB has received  a favorable opinion from the Internal
          Revenue Service for the Plan and Trust, as amended, identified by
          IRS Serial Nos. C221418a, C221419a, C221420a, C221421a, C321422a,
          C321423a,  C321424a and  C321425a.   A  Plan duly  adopted by  an
          Employer in the form of  the Plan and Trust will be in  a form so
          as to  be eligible to  qualify under Section  401 of the  Code so
          long  as the  Employer observes  the  provisions and  eligibility
          requirements thereof.

          The following is  a brief and necessarily  incomplete description
          of the more important tax consequences of the Plan and Trust:

               (1)  An  Employer in computing its adjusted gross income for
                    federal  income tax purposes may deduct the full amount
                    of   its  contributions   to  the   Plan,  within   the
                    contribution  limits  of  the  Plan  and  the  Internal
                    Revenue Code, on behalf of Participants who are common-
                    law Employees,  and  such  contributions  will  not  be
                    includable  in  the  gross  income of  such  Employees.
                    Contributions on behalf of  Participants who are  self-
                    employed  persons will be  includable in  gross income,
                    but a Participant, in  computing adjusted gross income,
                    may deduct the  Employer's contribution to the  Plan on
                    his behalf  up to the  lesser of $30,000 or  the amount
                    determined  by  applying  the  percentage  contribution
                    limitations  prescribed  in the  Plan and  the Internal
                    Revenue  Code.   Generally, benefit  payments  from the
                    assets of the  Trust are subject to  income taxation at
                    the date  of distribution.   However,  benefit payments
                    representing amounts contributed by a Participant as  a
                    Nondeductible Voluntary Contribution on his own behalf,
                    or  Employer contributions previously taxed to him, are
                    not taxable income.

               (2)  The income earned by a Trust prior to distribution from
                    the  Trust  is  exempt  from  income  tax.    Unrelated
                    business income of a Trust, if any, would be subject to
                    tax.  UMB  does not intend to make  an investment which
                    would cause  a Trust  to incur  any unrelated  business
                    income tax.

               (3)  The transfer  by a Participant  of all or a  portion of
                    his Account from one Fund to another Fund or to another
                    available  investment  medium  should   not  subject  a
                    Participant to federal income tax. 

               (4)  Lump-sum distributions under the Plan are includable in
                    gross income of the recipient as ordinary income unless
                    made on account of the Participant's (i) death  or (ii)
                    separation from  service in  the case  of a  common-law
                    employee, (iii) after  the Participant's attainment  of
                    age  59 , or  (iv) disability  in the  case of  a self-
                    employed person.  In such cases, if the Participant was
                    born before  January 1, 1936, the portion  of the lump-
                    sum distribution  deemed attributable  to participation
                    in the Plan prior to  1974 may be entitled to long-term
                    capital  gain treatment.   The  balance  of a  lump-sum
                    distribution made on account of the above circumstances
                    is taxable as  ordinary income, but may be  eligible at
                    the  election of  the recipient  for  a special  income
                    averaging treatment known as "Five-Year Averaging"  (or
                    "Ten-Year  Averaging" in the case of a Participant born
                    before   January  1,   1936)  in   the   case  of   the
                    Participant's death or if the Participant  participated
                    in the  Plan for at  least five taxable years  prior to
                    the  year of  distribution.   Eligibility  for and  the
                    computation  of the tax under the Five-Year or Ten-Year
                    Averaging treatment  is complex but, if applicable, may
                    result  in a  lower tax.    A recipient  of a  lump-sum
                    distribution  should consult  with a  tax advisor  with
                    reference  to making an election and computation of the
                    tax.

               (5)  Generally,  distributions under  the  Plan (other  than
                    certain periodic distributions,  distributions required
                    to  be  made  after  a  Participant  reaches  age  70 ,
                    distributions    to   correct    violations   of    the
                    nondiscrimination rules of the Code, and certain deemed
                    distributions)  may  be   transferred  without  current
                    income  tax  liability   to  an  Individual  Retirement
                    Account (IRA) or another qualified retirement plan.   A
                    20% withholding tax will apply to any eligible rollover
                    distribution   unless   the  Trustee   transfers   such
                    distribution directly  to an  IRA or  another qualified
                    retirement  plan.    If  the  Trustee  distributes  the
                    eligible  rollover distribution  to the  recipient, the
                    Trustee  must withhold 20% of the distribution, but the
                    distribution will still qualify for  current income tax
                    deferral if the recipient  transfers the entire  amount
                    of the distribution plus the amount withheld to an  IRA
                    or  another qualified  retirement plan  within 60  days
                    after receipt.  The recipient may then claim the amount
                    withheld  as a credit on the recipient's federal income
                    tax return.

               (6)  Distributions of benefits  as installment payments  are
                    generally  subject  to  income  tax  under   the  rules
                    applying to annuities.  The Participant has as his cost
                    basis  an amount  equal  to  the  total amount  of  his
                    Nondeductible  Voluntary Contributions.    The cost  is 
                    spread over the period  during which distributions  are
                    to be made, and payments received annually in excess of
                    the allowable cost are taxed as ordinary income.

               (7)  Distributions received  by a  Participant prior  to age
                    59  or death or disability  may be subject to an excise
                    tax of 10% of the  amount of the distribution  included
                    in income.

                                OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES

                                    PENALTY TAXES

          Excise  taxes  levied as  a  penalty  under  ERISA include  a  5%
          cumulative excise tax which is levied against the Employer on any
          required  contributions which the  Employer failed to  make where
          the Employer had adopted  a pension plan.  Unless  the default is
          cured within ninety days of the mailing of a deficiency notice, a
          further penalty of 100% of the deficiency will be assessed.

                                State Tax Consequences

          State  tax  consequences  vary  and  may  provide  different  tax
          treatment  for contributions and benefits from that under federal
          law.

                                       REPORTS

          Within sixty days after the close  of each Plan Year the  Trustee
          shall  send to  the  Employer  and to  the  Plan Administrator  a
          written  accounting of its  administration of the  Trust for such
          Plan year.

                                    LEGAL MATTERS

          The legality of the Units offered  hereby will be passed upon for
          UMB by Watson & Marshall L.C. of Kansas  City, Missouri.  Members
          in that firm  hold approximately 15,925  shares of UMB  Financial

          course of  business on  substantially the  same terms,  including
          interest rates  and collateral, as those rates  prevailing at the
          time for comparable transactions with other persons which, in the
          opinion of UMB's management, did not involve more than the normal
          risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.

          Report of Independent Auditors

          Board of Directors
          UMB Bank, N.A.

          We  have  audited  the  accompanying  statements  of  assets  and
          liabilities  and statements of  investments held of  the Fund for
          Pooling  Equity  Investments  of Employee  Trusts,  the  Fund for
          Pooling Debt Investments of Employee Trusts and the Pooled Income
          Fund for Employee Trusts of UMB Bank, N.A. as of October 31, 1995
          and   1994,  and  the   related  statements  of   operations  and
          participants  interest for each of  the three years in the period
          ended October  31,  1995.   These  financial statements  are  the
          responsibility of the  Funds  management.  Our  responsibility is
          to express an opinion on  these financial statements based on our
          audits.

          We conducted  our audits  in accordance  with generally  accepted
          auditing  standards. Those  standards require  that  we plan  and
          perform  the audit to  obtain reasonable assurance  about whether
          the  financial statements are free of  material misstatement.  An
          audit  includes examining, on  a test basis,  evidence supporting
          the  amounts and  disclosures in  the financial  statements.   An
          audit  also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
          significant estimates made  by management, as well  as evaluating
          the  overall financial statement  presentation.  We  believe that
          our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

          In  our opinion,  the  financial  statements  referred  to  above
          present  fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
          of  the Fund for  Pooling Equity Investments  of Employee Trusts,
          the Fund for Pooling Debt  Investments of Employee Trusts and the
          Pooled  Income Fund  for Employee  Trusts  of UMB  Bank, N.A.  at
          October 31,  1995 and 1994,  and the results of  their operations
          and changes in their participants  interest for each of the three
          years in  the period ended  October 31, 1995, in  conformity with
          generally accepted accounting principles.

                            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                      For the Three Years Ended October 31, 1995

          1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

          The accounting policies followed by  the Bank, as Trustee, are in
          accordance  with the respective  Trust Plans and  Declarations of
          the  Funds dated  December 5,  1955, (as  amended on  October 10,
          1963), and December  27, 1974, and  in conformity with  generally
          accepted accounting principles.

          (1)  Investment valuation:

               Investments are  stated at  market value.   Investments  are
               valued by the  Trustee, utilizing prices quoted  by security
               dealers  or  brokers,  investment  bankers  or   statistical
               services  on  the  valuation date.    Certain  United States
               government and agency  obligations and corporate  securities
               are stated at cost.  The amount of unaccredited discount for
               these securities, which  approximates the difference between
               cost  and  market value,  is  reported in  the  statement of
               assets  and liabilities  as accrued  interest.   The  market
               value of investments  in participation units of  other funds
               is based on quoted redemption values on the valuation date.

          (2)  Security transactions and investment income:

               Security  transactions are accounted  for on the  trade date
               the  securities are purchased  or sold.   Realized gains and
               losses  from  security  transactions  are  recorded  on   an
               identified cost basis.   Dividend income is  recorded on the
               ex-dividend date.  Interest income is recognized as earned.

          (3)  Investment income and net realized gains:

               Investment  income and  gains on  sales  of investments  are
               retained by the Funds and invested.

          (4)  Income tax exemption:

               Applicable statutes exempt  the Funds from U.S.  federal and
               state income taxes.

          (5)  Participation units:

               There is  no par or  stated value  for participation  units.
               Trusts, for  which the  Bank is a  fiduciary, may  invest or

          ITEM 14.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

               Each of the  Funds provide that the  Trustee's liability for
          losses incurred upon investments of  the Fund shall exist only to
          the extent provided for under the terms of the various respective
          participating trusts and shall be neither increased nor decreased
          by reason of any of  the provisions of the Funds'  declaration of
          trust.

               Under the terms  of the UMB Bank, n.a.  Defined Contribution
          Plan and  Trust Basic Plan  Document, the Trustee may  defend any
          legal proceeding  against a  plan.  However,  the trustee  is not
          obligated to  take any  action that would  subject to  expense or
          liability  unless the  Trustee is first  indemnified to  its sole
          satisfaction.

               The Articles of Association of UMB Bank, n.a. ("UMB")provide
          that any person, his heirs, executors, or administrators,  may be
          indemnified  or  reimbursed  by the  Association  for  reasonable
          expenses actually incurred  in connection with any  action, suit, 
          or proceeding,  civil or criminal, to  which he or  they shall be
          made a party  by reason of his  being or having been  a director,
          officer, or employee of the Association or any firm, corporation,
          or organization which he served in any capacity at the request of
          the Association; provided,  however, that no  person shall be  so 
          indemnified  or reimbursed  in  relation to  any  matter in  such
          action,  suit, or  proceeding as  to  which he  shall finally  be
          adjudged to have been guilty of or liable for gross negligence or
          willful  misconduct or  criminal acts  in the performance  of his
          duties to the  Association; and provided further,  that no person
          shall be so  indemnified or reimbursed in relation  to any matter
          in  such action,  suit, or  proceeding  which has  been made  the
          subject of a compromise settlement  except with the approval of a
          court of  competent jurisdiction, or  the holders of record  of a
          majority of  the outstanding  shares of  the Association,  or the
          Board of  Directors, acting by  vote of directors not  parties to
          the same or  substantially the same  actin, suit, or  proceeding,
          constituting  a majority  of the  whole number of  the directors.
          The foregoing right of indemnification or reimbursement shall not
          be exclusive  of other  rights to which  such person,  his heirs,
          executors, or administrators, may be entitled as a matter of law.

               UMB Bancshares Financial  Corporation ("UMBFC"), the  parent
          of UMB,  maintains  a policy of insurance under which the insurer
          will,   subject to  certain conditions, defend  the directors and
          officers, against and  indemnify them for any  liability incurred
          in their capacity  as such.   Section 351.355(1) and  (2) of  the
          General and  Business Corporation  Law of  the State  of Missouri
          provides that a  corporation may indemnify any person  who was or
          is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
          pending or completed action, suit  or proceeding by reason of the
          fact that he is or was a  director, officer, employee or agent of
          the  corporation, or  is or  was  serving at  the request  of the
          corporation  as director, officer,  employee or agent  of another
          corporation,   partnership,   joint  venture,   trust   or  other
          enterprise, against expenses, judgments,  fines and amounts  paid
          in  settlements  actually  and  reasonably  incurred  by  him  in
          connection with  such action, suit  or proceeding if he  acted in
          good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
          opposed  to  the best  interests  of  the  corporation and,  with
          respect  to any criminal action  or proceeding, had no reasonable
          cause to  believe his conduct  was unlawful, except that,  in the
          case of an action  or suit by or in the  right of the corporation
          may not indemnify such persons against judgments and fines and no
          person shall be indemnified as  to any claim, issue or  matter as
          to which such  person shall  have been adjudged  to be liable  of
          negligence or  misconduct in the  performance of his duty  to the
          corporation,  unless and  only to  the extent  that the  court in
          which  the action or suit was brought upon application determines
          that  such person is fairly  and reasonably entitled to indemnity
          for proper  expenses.  Section  351.355(3) provides that,  to the
          extent  that  a  director,  officer,  employee  or agent  of  the
          corporation  has been  successful  in  the  defense of  any  such
          action, suit or proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, 
          he shall  be indemnified  against expenses, including  attorney's
          fees,  actually and reasonably  incurred in connection  with such
          action,  suit or proceeding.  Section  351.355(7) provides that a
          Missouri  corporation may  provide additional  indemnification to
          any  person indemnifiable under  subsection (1) or  (2), provided
          such   additional   indemnification   is   authorized   by    the
          corporation's articles of  incorporation or an amendment  thereto
          or by  a stockholder-approved  bylaw or  agreement, and  provided
          further  that  no  person shall  thereby  be  indemnified against
          conduct  which  was  finally  adjudged  to  have  been  knowingly
          fraudulent,   deliberately  dishonest   or  willful   misconduct.
          Article  IX, Section  4  of  the Bylaws  of  UMBFC provides  that
          registrant may  extend  to  its  directors  and  certain  of  its
          officers   and   employees  the   indemnification   specified  in
          subsections (1) and (2).

               Section 410 of  the Employee Retirement Income  Security Act
          of 1974,  as amended ("ERISA"), provides that any provision of an
          agreement or  instrument that  purports to  relieve a  fiduciary,
          such  as  the trustee  of the  Funds, from  its obligations  as a
          fiduciary  is void  as  against public  policy except  in limited
          instances. A fiduciary may not be liable for the losses caused by
          a  co-fiduciary's failure  to perform  certain  duties when  such
          duties  had  been  allocated  to  the co-fiduciary,    nor  is  a
          fiduciary  also  not  liable  for  the acts  or  omission  of  an
          investment manager that  had been appointed  to manage assets  of
          the plan.

               The Department of Labor (the "DOL") has adopted a regulation
          2509.75-4    interpreting  Section  410  of  ERISA.   Under  that
          regulation, the  DOL permits indemnification agreements  which do
          not relieve a fiduciary of its obligations under ERISA but merely
          permit another  party to  satisfy any  liability incurred  by the
          fiduciary  in  the  same  manner  as  insurance purchased  by  an
          employer or employee organization.

               Notwithstanding   the  limitations   on   an  agreement   or
          instrument to limit the obligations of a fiduciary, a plan, under
          certain  circumstances, a fiduciary  and an employer  or employee
          organization  may  purchase  insurance  to  cover  the  potential
          liability of the fiduciary.

          ITEM 17.   UNDERTAKINGS.

               The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

               (1) To file, during any period  in which offers or sales are
          being  made,  a  post-effective  amendment to  this  Registration
          Statement;

                    (i)  To include  any  prospectus  required  by  Section
               10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

                    (ii) To reflect in  the prospectus any facts  or events
               arising  after  the  effective  date   of  the  registration
               statement  (or  the  most  recent  post-effective  amendment
               thereof) which, individually or in the  aggregate, represent
               a  fundamental change in  the information  set forth  in the
               registration statement; 

                  (iii)  To include  any material information  with respect
               to the plan of distribution not  previously disclosed in the
               registration  statement  or  any  material  change  to  such
               information in the registration statement.

               (2)  That,  for  the purpose  of  determining any  liability
          under  the Securities  Act  of  1933,  each  such  post-effective
          amendment shall  be deemed  to  be a  new registration  statement
          relating to the securities  offered therein, and the offering  of
          such securities  at that time  shall be deemed to  be the initial
          bona fide offering thereof.

               (3)  To  remove  from  registration  by  means  of  a  post-
          effective  amendment any of the securities being registered which
          remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

               Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
          Securities Act  of 1933 may  be permitted to  directors, officers
          and  controlling  persons  of  the  registrant  pursuant  to  the
          foregoing provisions,  or  otherwise,  the  registrant  has  been
          advised that  in  the  opinion  of the  Securities  and  Exchange
          Commissions  such  indemnification  is against  public  policy as
          expressed in  the Act and  is, therefore, unenforceable.   In the
          event that a  claim for indemnification against  such liabilities
          (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
          paid  by  a  director,  officer  or  controlling  person  of  the
          registrant  in the  successful  defense of  any  action, suit  or
          proceeding)  is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
          person  in connection with  the securities being  registered, the
          registrant will, unless in the  opinion of its counsel the matter
          has been settled  by controlling precedent, submit to  a court of
          appropriate    jurisdiction    the    question    whether    such
          indemnification by  it is against  public policy as  expressed in
          the Act  and will be governed  by the final  adjudication of such
          issue.

               Re:  Registration  of Units  of Participation  in Collective
                    Investment Funds

          Ladies and Gentlemen:

               We have acted  as counsel to UMB  Bank, National Association
          (the "Company"), in connection with registration of 150,000 units
          of participation in the Equity Fund (as defined below) and 75,000
          units  of  participation  in the  Debt  Fund  (as  defined below)
          (referred to collectively herein as the "Units").  The Company is
          trustee of such Funds.  We are rendering this opinion pursuant to
          Item 16 of Form S-1 and Rule 601 of Regulation S-K.

               We have examined  and relied on  the following in  rendering
          this opinion: 

               1.   A  draft  dated  February 15,  1996  of  a registration
                    statement  on Form S-1 for the Units (the "Registration
                    Statement");

               2.   The  Articles of  Association of  the  Company and  its
                    Bylaws;

               3.   The  UMB Bank Master  Plan and Trust  for Self-Employed
                    Individuals,  as amended January  1, 1991  (the "Master
                    Plan");

               4.   The Plan and  Declaration of Trust, as  amended October
                    31, 1995  (the "Equity  Plan  Document"), creating  the
                    Fund for Pooling Equity Investments  of Employee Trusts
                    (the "Equity  Fund") and  the Plan  and Declaration  of
                    Trust,  as amended  October 31,  1995  (the "Debt  Plan
                    Document"),  creating   the  Fund   for  Pooling   Debt
                    Investment of  Employee Trusts (the  "Debt Fund")  (the
                    Equity Plan Document  and the Debt Plan  Document being
                    referred   to   collectively   herein   as  the   "Plan
                    Documents," and  the Equity  Fund and  Debt Fund  being
                    referred to collectively herein as the "Funds"); and

               5.   Such documents,  certificates  and  records  of  public
                    officials and of the Company and its officers and other
                    documents and legal matters as we have deemed necessary
                    for the purpose of rendering this opinion.

               Based on and subject to our examination and the assumptions,
          exceptions,  qualifications and limitations  set forth herein, we
          are of the opinion  that the Units, when sold in  accordance with
          the  terms and  conditions of  the Plan  Documents and  all other
          necessary  procedures, will  be  validly  authorized and  issued,
          fully paid and nonassessable.

               The  foregoing opinion  is  subject to  and  based upon  the
          following assumptions  (none  of which  have  been  independently
          confirmed or investigated by us)  and limitations, as well as the
          others set forth elsewhere herein:

               1.   That  the Company at  all times hereafter  continues in
                    existence  and in good  standing as a  national banking
                    association and has the power and authority to act, and
                    continues to act, as trustee of the Funds;

               2.   That  the  Funds  at all  times  hereafter  continue in
                    existence and in good  standing, and that the  terms of
                    the Plan Documents are not hereafter materially changed
                    from those on the date of this opinion;

               3.   That at all  times hereafter, the Units  are issued and
                    sold in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
                    Plan   Documents,   and   that    the   Funds   receive
                    consideration  for such Units  in amounts equal  to the 
                    fair  market  value  of  the  Units  as  determined  in
                    accordance with the Plan Documents;

               4.   That at all times hereafter, any purchaser of the Units
                    is qualified to  purchase under the  terms of the  Plan
                    Documents and  the  provisions  of  applicable  law  or
                    regulations; and 

               5.   There   are  hereafter  no   material  changes  in  any
                    applicable  law or  regulations and  no  change in  any
                    material fact upon which the opinion is based.

               In  rendering   this  opinion,   we   have  relied   without
          investigation  on  the  respective  representations,  warranties,
          covenants and  agreements of  the Company  contained in  the Plan
          Documents  that we examined,  the Registration Statement  and any
          other document  supplied or delivered or oral  statements made by
          or on its behalf of in connection with preparing the Registration
          Statement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, and we have
          assumed   without   investigation  that   such   representations,
          warranties, covenants and agreements were  accurate, complete and
          fair, and  contained no omission  of material facts, both  on the
          date made  and on and  as of the  date of this opinion  as though
          made on the date hereof, and that each of the parties referred to
          therein   has  complied   with,   performed  or   satisfied  such
          representations, warranties,  covenants and  agreements on  their
          part required to  be complied with, performed or  satisfied on or
          before the date hereof.

               In  our examination, we have assumed  the genuineness of all
          signatures,   the  legal   capacity  of   natural  persons,   the
          authenticity  of all documents submitted  to us as originals, the
          conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us
          as  certified, conformed or  copies or transmitted  by telecopier
          and the authenticity  of the originals from which  such copies or
          telecopies were made.

               We are admitted to the Bar of  the State of Missouri, and we
          express  no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than
          the laws  of the  State of  Missouri.   Further,  our opinion  is
          intended  to address only the  specific legal issues directly and
          explicitly   referred  to  herein,  as  provided  in  Section  18
          ("Opinions  by Implication") of  the Legal Opinion  Accord of the
          American Bar  Association, Section  of Business  Law (1991)  (the
          "Accord") and  does not address any  of the matters  set forth in
          Section 19 of the Accord; except to the extent expressly provided
          in this sentence, however, this opinion does not adopt and is not
          governed by the Accord.

               This   opinion  is   based  on   applicable   law  and   our
          understanding  and  assumption  of factual  matters  at  the date
          hereof,  and we disclaim  any obligation to  revise or supplement
          this  opinion based  upon any  change  in applicable  law or  any 
          factual matter  that occurs or  comes to our attention  after the
          date hereof.

               We know  we have been  referred to under the  caption "Legal
          Matters" in the prospectus included in the registration statement
          to be  filed with  the Securities and  Exchange Commission  on or
          about February  16, 1996, in  substantially the same form  as the
          registration statement.  We hereby consent  to use of our name in
          such prospectus and to the filing of  this opinion and consent as
          an  exhibit  to such  Registration  Statement.   In  giving  such
          consent, we do not  admit that we are in the  category of persons
          whose consent  is required under  the Securities Act of  1933, as
          amended.

                                        Respectfully,
