                          PROSPECTUS
                    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 replaces the Prospectus 
       initially delivered to investors in the Funds as of April 22, 1996,
       in order to update the financial data and certain other information
       contained in the April 22, 1996 Prospectus.  THIS PROSPECTUS MAY
       ONLY BE USED WITH THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND RELATED NOTES SET
       FORTH IN PART TWO OF THIS PROSPECTUS 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  rise 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.

                           SUMMARY
                         OF THE
               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, 1996 were  $3,254,129,000 and as
       of the same  date its deposits were $2,658,150,000  and its total
       capital accounts  were $239,374,000.  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, 1996,  managed
       approximately $10,500,000,000 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.

       <PAGE>

                  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
       Funds:

                    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;
       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
       set 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.

                      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.
       SEE  UMB AS TRUSTEE FOR THE PLAN AND TRUST AND UMB AS TRUSTEE FOR
       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.

                  FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES 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 Spencer Fane Britt & Browne LLP of Kansas  City, Missouri.

       their related interest  and  their  immediate family  members  in
       the ordinary 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.
Kansas City, Missouri

     We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities 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. (the Funds), including the
statement of investments held, as of October 31, 1996, and the related
statements of operations and participants' interest for the year then
ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds' 
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 
financial statements based on our audit.  The statements of assets and 
liabilities and statements of investments held of the Funds as of 
October 31, 1995, and the related statements of operations and 
participants' interest for each of the two years in the period ended 
October 31, 1995, were audited by other auditors whose report dated 
December 8, 1995 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

     We conducted our audit 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 audit 
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the 1996 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. as of October 31, 1996, and the results of its 
operations for the year then ended and the changes in its participants' 
interest for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles.

NOTE 1:  NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND 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.  The significant 
accounting policies and the nature of operations follow.

Nature of Operations

     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 (Funds) provide a means through which funds, held by UMB Bank,
n.a. in its capacity as sole fiduciary or co-fiduciary, may be pooled for 
diversification of investments.

     The Funds are managed by UMB Bank, n.a. under regulation 9 of the 
Comptroller of the Currency relating to collective investment funds.  
Regulation 9 specifies generally the form of trust, accounting policies, 
investment powers, asset valuation, etc. 

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial 
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the 
reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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 unaccreted 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.

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.

Investment Income and Net Realized Gains

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

Income Tax Exemption

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

Participation Units

     There is no par or stated value for participation units.  Trusts, for 
which the Bank is a fiduciary, may invest or withdraw based on monthly 
valuations as of the prior month.

NOTE 2:  STOCK SPLIT

     References to number of units and per unit amounts herein have been 
restated to give retroactive effect to five-for-one and two-for-one stock 
splits which occurred on May 11, 1994 for the Fund for Pooling Equity 
Investments of Employee Trusts and Fund for Pooling Debt Investments of 
Employee Trusts, respectively, which were approved by unitholders of these 
Funds.

NOTE 3:  MERGER

     Effective November 1, 1995, certain collective fund assets for retirement
plans of the Bank of Overland Park and Commercial National Bank merged into 
the Funds as a result of the acquisition of such banks by UMB Financial 
Corporation.  Assets with a market value of $10,809,038 and $19,569,785 merged
into the Pooled Equity Fund and Pooled Debt Fund, respectively.  These amounts
are included in the issuance of units line on the Statements of Participants' 
Interest.
