             Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D (Final Amendment)


    This statement amends the Schedule 13D, dated May 2, 1994,
as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D, dated May 20, 1994
and by  Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13d, dated May 23, 1994 (the
"Schedule 13D"), filed by Dickstein & Co., L.P. ("Dickstein &
Co."), Dickstein Focus Fund L.P. ("Dickstein Focus"), Dickstein
International Limited ("Dickstein International"), Dickstein Partners,
L.P. ("Dickstein Partners"), Dickstein Partners Inc. 
("Dickstein Inc.") and Mark Dickstein with respect to the Common Stock,
no par value, (the "Common Stock"), of WLR Foods, Inc., a
Virginia corporation (the "Company").  Notwithstanding this Amendment No. 3,
the Schedule 13D speaks as of its date.  Capitalized terms used without
definition have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

         I.   Items 5(a), 5(c) and 5(e) of the Schedule 13D,
"Interest in Securities of the Issuer" are amended and restated
as follows:

         "(a)  The Reporting Persons beneficially own an aggregate of 460,400
 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 4.2% of the shares of 
Common Stock. 1/  Dickstein & Co. beneficially owns 343,300 of such shares of
Common Stock (approximately 3.1% of the share outstanding); and Dickstein
Focus beneficially owns 20,500 of such shares of Common Stock (approximately
.2% of the shares outstanding); and Dickstein International beneficially
owns 96,600 of such shares of Common Stock (approximately .9% of the shares
outstanding)."

         "(c)  Except as set forth on Schedule II annexed hereto, none of the
persons identified in Item 2 has effected any transactions in the Common
Stock during the past 60 days."

         "(e)  The Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of
 more than 5% of the Common Stock on August 5, 1994.  Accordingly, the
Reporting Persons no longer have a reporting obligation under Section 
13(d) of the Exchange Act, and the Reporting Persons intend not to further
amend their report on Schedule 13D to reflect changes in the facts set forth
herein which may occur after the date hereof."

1/       Based on 10,971,776 shares of Common Stock reported to be
         outstanding on May 12, 1994 as set forth in the Company's Quarterly
						   Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending April 2, 1994.
