Item 5.   INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

The legality of the  shares and all legal matters in  connection with the Plan
have been passed upon for the Corporation by R. W. Odgers, Esq., its Executive
Vice President,  General Counsel  and  Secretary.   As of  December 31,  1995,
Mr. Odgers beneficially owned or had an interest in approximately 2,182 shares
of  the Corporation s  Common Stock.   As  of the  same date,  Mr. Odgers held
options and/or stock appreciation rights with  respect to 70,000 shares of the
Corporation s Common Stock.

Item 6.   INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

Section  78.037  of the  Nevada Revised  Statutes  ("N.R.S.") provides  that a
Nevada  corporation s articles may contain a provision eliminating or limiting
the  personal liability  of a director  or officer  to the  corporation or its
stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty but may not eliminate or
limit liability for acts or omissions involving intentional misconduct, fraud,
a  knowing violation  of  the  law  or  illegal payment  of  dividends.    The
Corporation s Articles of Incorporation  ("Articles") contain such a provision
and therefore any lawsuits involving monetary damages would be subject to this
limitation.  There is no such limitation in actions for equitable relief.

With  respect  to lawsuits  not thus  limited  by the  Corporation s Articles,
N.R.S.  Section  78.751 specifies  the  circumstances  under  which  a  Nevada
corporation  may indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent.  Generally,
such person must have  acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed
to be in, or not opposed  to, the best interests of the corporation,  and with
respect to any  criminal action or proceeding, such person  must also have had
no  reasonable cause  to believe  his or  her conduct  was unlawful.   In  any
proceeding by or  in the right  of the corporation  where there is a  judgment
against such person, indemnification may be  made if such person acted in good
faith, in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to  the  best interests  of  the  corporation and  was  not  found liable  for
negligence  or misconduct  in the  performance  of his  or her  duties to  the
corporation.  However, indemnification  may be had even  where the person  has
been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in  the performance of
his  or her  duties if  the court  in  which the  action or  suit was  brought
determines  upon application that despite the adjudication of liability but in
view of  all of  the circumstances  of the  case, such  person  is fairly  and
reasonably entitled to  indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.
Where the director, officer,  employee or agent successfully defends  any such
civil or criminal proceeding, indemnification is required.

                                    <PAGE>



The Corporation s  Articles provide that it shall indemnify any person who was
or is a party or is threatened to  be made a party to any threatened,  pending
or   completed  action,   suit   or  proceeding,   whether  civil,   criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of  the fact that such person is or
was a director  or officer  of the Corporation,  or is or  was serving at  the
request  of the  Corporation  as a  director,  officer, employee  or  agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or
as a fiduciary of an employee benefit  plan of the Corporation or of a  wholly
owned  subsidiary corporation,  against expenses  incurred in  connection with
such action, suit or  proceeding, including attorneys  fees, judgments,  fines
and amounts paid in settlement, to the  extent not prohibited by law, state or
federal.  Expenses incurred in  defending any such proceeding may  be advanced
by the  Corporation prior  to the  final disposition of  such action,  suit or
proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking to repay such amount unless it shall
be  determined  ultimately  that the  person  is  entitled  to be  indemnified
thereunder.  The  Articles further provide  that these provisions  may not  be
repealed or  amended without the  affirmative vote of  at least sixty-six  and
two-thirds percent  (66-2/3%) of  the voting power  of the shares  entitled to
vote thereon.

The  Corporation s   Articles  also   contain  a  provision   authorizing  the
Corporation to  enter into  indemnity agreements (the  "Indemnity Agreements")
with  each of  the Corporation s directors  and officers.   The Articles state
that such agreements shall  provide that the Corporation shall  indemnify (and
advance  expenses  to)  the indemnitee  to  the  fullest  extent permitted  by
applicable law, no later  than 30 days after  a written request has been  made
therefor, against all expenses, judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes  and
amounts paid in settlement for claims  with respect to events relating to such
person s service  with or for the  Corporation, and that in  any proceeding to
enforce  the obligation to indemnify  such person, the  Corporation shall have
the  burden to  establish  that such  indemnification is  prohibited; provided
however, that such agreements  shall exclude indemnification if a  judgment or
other final adjudication adverse to the indemnitee established (a) that his or
her  acts  were committed  in  bad  faith or  were  the  result of  deliberate
dishonesty, or  (b) that he  or she  in fact gained  a financial advantage  to
which he  or she was  not legally entitled, in  which event the  amount of the
indemnification shall be  reduced by  the amount of  such financial  advantage
gained.  The  Corporation has entered  into Indemnity Agreements with  each of
its directors and executive officers as provided in this Article.

The  directors  and  officers of  the  Corporation  are  covered by  insurance
policies  indemnifying   against   certain  liabilities,   including   certain
liabilities  arising under  the  Securities  Act  of  1933,  as  amended  (the
"Securities Act")  which  might be  incurred by  them in  such capacities  and
against which  they cannot  be  indemnified by  the Corporation.   Subject  to
certain  exceptions, the Indemnity Agreements  obligate the Corporation to use
its  best efforts  to purchase  and  maintain in  effect  such insurance  with
coverage no less favorable than that presently provided.

The  Indemnity  Agreements  also   provide  that  if  the  Corporation   shall
discontinue any of its existing policies of directors  and officers  liability
insurance or limit the scope or the amount of the coverages thereunder,  or if
such policies  or coverages shall become  unavailable in whole or  in part for
any  reason, then  the  Corporation  will  hold  harmless  and  indemnify  the
indemnitee  to the full extent of the  coverage which would have been provided
if such insurance had been maintained.

Item 9.   UNDERTAKINGS.

     (a)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

          (1)  To file,  during any period in which  offers or sales are being
               made,   a   post-effective  amendment   to   this  registration
               statement:

                    (i)       To  include any  prospectus required  by section
                              10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

                    (ii)      To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
                              arising  after   the  effective  date   of  this
                              registration statement (or the most recent post-
                              effective amendment thereof) which, individually
                              or  in the  aggregate,  represent a  fundamental
                              change in  the  information  set  forth  in  the
                              registration statement;

                    (iii)     To include any material information with respect
                              to  the  plan  of  distribution  not  previously
                              disclosed in  the registration statement  or any
                              material  change  to  such  information  in  the
                              registration statement;

          Provided, however,  that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and  (a)(1)(ii) do not
          apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or  Form S-8, and
          the  information  required  to   be  included  in  a  post-effective
          amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed
          with or furnished  to the SEC by the registrant  pursuant to section
          13 or section  15(d) of the  Exchange Act  that are incorporated  by
          reference in the registration statement.

          (2)  That, for  the purpose of  determining any liability  under the
               Securities  Act, each  such post-effective  amendment shall  be
               deemed  to  be a  new  registration statement  relating  to the
               securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
               at  that  time shall  be  deemed to  be  the initial  bona fide
               offering thereof.

          (3)  To  remove  from  registration  by means  of  a  post-effective
               amendment any  of the securities being  registered which remain
               unsold at the termination of the offering.

                                    <PAGE>



     (b)  The undersigned  registrant hereby undertakes that,  for purposes of
          determining any liability  under the Securities Act,  each filing of
          the registrant s annual report pursuant to  section 13(a) or section
          15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable,  each filing of an
          employee benefit plan s  annual report pursuant to section  15(d) of
          the  Exchange  Act)   that  is  incorporated  by  reference  in  the
          registration  statement shall  be deemed  to be  a new  registration
          statement  relating  to  the  securities offered  therein,  and  the
          offering  of such securities at that time  shall be deemed to be the
          initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (c)  Insofar  as   indemnification  for  liabilities  arising  under  the
          Securities  Act  may  be   permitted  to  directors,  officers,  and
          controlling  persons of  the  registrant pursuant  to the  foregoing
          provisions, or otherwise,  the registrant has  been advised that  in
          the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy
          as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
          In  the  event  that  a  claim  for  indemnification  against   such
          liabilities (other  than the payment  by the registrant  of expenses
          incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
          registrant  in  the  successful  defense  of  any  action,  suit  or
          proceeding) is  asserted by  such director, officer,  or controlling
          person  in  connection with  the  securities  being registered,  the
          registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has
          been  settled  by  controlling  precedent,  submit  to  a  court  of
          appropriate  jurisdiction the question  whether such indemnification
          by it is  against public policy  as expressed in the  Securities Act
          and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Gentlemen and Ladies:

With  reference to the registration  statement which Pacific  Telesis Group, a
Nevada corporation (the "Corporation"),  proposes to file with  the Securities
and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Securities Act of 1933, as  amended,
registering  11,700,000  shares  of its  common  stock,  $.10  par value  (the
 Shares ) to  be  issued  and  sold  pursuant to  the  Pacific  Telesis  Group
Supplemental  Retirement  and  Savings  Plan for  Nonsalaried  Employees  (the
"Plan"), I am of the opinion that:

     1.   The  Plan   has  been   duly  adopted   by   the  Corporation,   and
          participations acquired under  the Plan as provided  therein will be
          legally existing participations therein in accordance with the terms
          thereof.

     2.   All  proper corporate proceedings have been taken so that the Shares
          have been duly  authorized and, upon issuance  and payment therefore
          in accordance  with the  Plan and  the resolutions  of the Board  of
          Directors  of the Corporation relating  to the adoption  of the Plan
          and the offering and sale of the Shares  thereunder, will be legally
          issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

     3.   The provisions of the  Plan are in compliance with  the requirements
          of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 pertaining to
          such provisions.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the SEC in connection with
the registration statement referred to above.  This opinion is  limited to the
law of the State  of California, Nevada corporate law  and the federal law  of
the United States of America.
 
Very truly yours,
