Item 4.  Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
     
     1.   On May 4, 1994, the Registrant's independent accountants,
     Ernst & Young, were dismissed.

     2.   On May 4, 1994, the Registrant engaged Deloitte & Touche
     as its independent accountants.  

     3.   The independent accountants' reports on the financial
     statements of the Registrant for the two most recent fiscal
     years ended September 30, 1992 and September 30, 1993
     contained no adverse opinions or disclaimers of opinion and
     were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope,
     or accounting principles.  

     4.   The decision to change independent accountants was
     recommended and approved by the audit committee of the Board
     of Directors of the Registrant.

     5.   During the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years
     ended September 30, 1992 and September 30, 1993 and all
     subsequent interim periods preceding such dismissal there
     were no disagreements with the former accountant on any matter
     of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
     disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not
     resolved to the satisfaction of the former accountant, would
     have caused the former accountant to make reference to the 
     matter in their report.

     There is attached as an exhibit to this Registrant's report a
