Ladies and Gentlemen:
At your request, we have examined your Registration
Statement on Form N-1 and Post-Effective Amendment No. 13
thereto on Form N-1A as filed by you with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") in connection with the
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of
an indefinite number of shares of your Common Stock, $1 par
value, pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act
of 1940. We have also examined the form of Rule 24f-2 Notice
proposed to be filed by you with the Commission not later than
the end of May 1995, which indicates that during the fiscal
year ended March 31, 1995 you issued and sold 182,082,807
shares of stock pursuant to said indefinite registration (the
"Shares"). We are familiar with the proceedings taken by you
in connection with the authorization, issuance and sale of the
Shares.
Based upon our examination and upon our knowledge of
your corporate activities, and assuming, without independent
verification, that the Shares were sold in compliance with
applicable Blue Sky laws and in the manner referred to in the
Registration Statement, it is our opinion that the Shares
constitute legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares
of your Common Stock.
We consent to the filing of this opinion as an
exhibit to the Rule 24f-2 Notice.
Respectfully submitted,
O'Melveny & Myers
