Aluminum Company of America
1501 Alcoa Building
Pittsburgh, PA  15219


Ladies and Gentlemen:


You have requested my opinion as to the legality of any original
issue shares, up to 8,800,000 shares, of common stock, par value
$1.00 per share, of Aluminum Company of America (the "Company")
which may be distributed pursuant to the Company's Long Term
Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") (formerly named the "Employee's
Stock Option Plan"), which shares of common stock you are seeking
to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

As a Managing General Attorney of the Company I am generally
familiar with its legal affairs.  In addition, I have examined
such documents as I have deemed appropriate for the purpose of
this opinion.

In my opinion, if authorized but previously unissued shares of
common stock of the Company shall be issued and sold or delivered
to participants in the Plan pursuant to the provisions thereof,
the said shares of common stock will be legally issued, fully
paid and non-assessable.

I hereby consent to be named, in the registration statement, and
amendments thereof, by which the securities to be issued pursuant
to the Plan are registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and in any prospectus which is a part thereof, as
counsel for the Company who has passed upon the legality of the
securities registered thereby.  I further consent to the filing
of this opinion as an exhibit to the registration statement.  I
do not concede by these consents that I come within the category
of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or by the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under that
Act.

Very truly yours,



/s/DENIS A. DEMBLOWSKI
