This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company

First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 31, 1987 (collectively,
herein called the "Indenture"), between the Company and The Bank of New York,
as Trustee (herein called the "Trustee", which term includes any successor
trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures
supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the
respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of
the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms
upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.
This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof as the 7 3/4%
Notes Due 2005, limited in aggregate principal amount to $150,000,000.
The  Securities of this series are not redeemable prior to maturity.
The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire
indebtedness on this Security and (b) certain restrictive covenants and
certain Events of Default upon compliance by the Company with certain
conditions set forth therein. 
If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur
and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be
declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with
the consent of the Holders of not less than 66 2/3% in principal amount of the
Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The
Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified
percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time
Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to
waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of
any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange
herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver
is made upon this Security.
As set forth in, and subject to, the provisions of the Indenture, no Holder of
any Security of this series shall have any right to institute any proceeding,
judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment
of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy thereunder, unless certain
conditions set forth in the Indenture have been satisfied.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of
the Indenture shall alter or impair the right of the Holder of this Security,
which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of
(and premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times, place and
rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register,

aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without

provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for other Securities of this
series, of a like tenor and aggregate principal amount but of a different
authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

by the Company of $150,000,000 principal amount of  7 3/4% Notes Due 2005 (the
"Notes")  to be  issued under  an  Indenture dated  as of  April 15, 1986,  as
supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of August 31, 1987 (as
so supplemented,  the "Indenture"), between you  and The Bank of  New York, as
trustee (the "Trustee"), pursuant to registration statements on Form S-3 (File
Nos. 33-19075 and  33-30693)  (collectively, the  "Registration  Statements"),
filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 24,
1989,  with respect  to  $350,000,000  in aggregate  principal  amount of  the

      For the  purposes of this  opinion, we have examined  such certificates,
instruments and documents and reviewed such  questions of law as we considered
necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.

      Based  on the  foregoing examination  and review,  we hereby  advise you
that,  in  our opinion,  the  Notes, when  duly  executed on  your  behalf and
authenticated  by  the  Trustee  and  issued and  delivered  pursuant  to  the
Indenture, against payment  of the authorized consideration to  be received by
you  therefor, will be duly authorized  and validly issued and will constitute
valid and  binding obligations  of the Company  entitling the  holders of  the
Notes  to the  benefits of  the Indenture  (subject to  applicable bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium and similar laws
and judicial  decisions relating to  or affecting creditors'  rights generally
from time  to time in  effect and to general  equity principles, whether  in a
proceedings at law or in equity).

      We hereby consent to the incorporation  by reference of this opinion  as
an exhibit  to the Registration Statements  and to the references  to us under
the caption "Legal Opinions" in the related Prospectus, dated August 30, 1989,
and  Prospectus Supplement, dated March 22, 1995.   In giving this consent, we
