PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

      This  Amendment  No. 1 (this "Amendment") amends and supplements
the Statement on Schedule  13D  filed  with  the Securities and Exchange
Commission on November 23, 1994 (the "Statement"), with respect to the
shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"),
of National Gypsum Company, a Delaware corporation (the"Issuer"), by
First  Union  Corporation  (the "Reporting Person").  Capitalized terms
used herein without  definition  have  the same meaning as those
ascribed to them in the Statement. Information  contained  herein with
respect to the beneficial ownership of Common Stock by  persons other
than the Reporting Person has been obtained from public filings under
the  Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or has been provided
to the Reporting Person  by the relevant party.  The Reporting Person
has not independently verified and assumes no responsibility for the
accuracy or completeness of such information.


Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

      (a)   Delcor  has  reported  in  a  Schedule  13D  filing with the
Securities and Exchange  Commission  that  as  a  result  of the
termination on November 23, 1994 of a M e morandum  of  Understanding
between  Delcor's  parent  corporation,  Golden  Eagle Industries,  Inc.
("Golden  Eagle")  and  Lafarge Coppee S.A. ("Lafarge"), pursuant to
which  Golden  Eagle  and Delcor may have been deemed to beneficially
own the shares of Common  Stock  beneficially  owned  by  Lafarge,
Delcor  may  no  longer  be deemed to beneficially own the 2,087,958
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Lafarge and certain
subsidiaries of Lafarge.  Accordingly, Delcor has reported beneficial
ownership of 3,872,235 shares of Common Stock (or 19.0 percent of the
outstanding shares based on 20,362,413  shares  of  Common  Stock
outstanding as reported in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the period ended September 30, 1994).

      (b)   The  following  table  sets  forth,  with  respect to each
of the Reporting Person,  Delcor and NationsBank Corporation, the number
of shares of Common Stock as to which such person has sole power to vote
or to direct the vote, shared power to vote or to direct the vote, sole
power to dispose or direct the disposition, or shared power to dispose
or direct the disposition.
