Dean Witter Reynolds Inc.
This Defined Fund's objective is to provide a substantial level of safety
through investment in a portfolio consisting primarily of long-term compound
interest corporate bonds that are collateralized (the 'Compound Interest
Bonds'). There is no assurance that this objective will be met because it is
subject to the continuing ability of issuers of the Debt Obligations to meet
their principal and interest requirements. Furthermore, the market value of the
underlying Securities, and therefore the value of the Units, will flucutate with
changes in interest rates and other factors. The Securities were issued after
July 18, 1984, as a result of which the interest income (including original
issue discount) will be exempt from U.S. Federal income taxes, including
withholding taxes, for many foreign Holders (see Taxes in Part B).
The collateral backing the Compound Interest Bonds is primarily composed of
mortgage-backed Securities of the GNMA modified pass-through type ('GNMA
Certificates' or 'Ginnie Maes'), fully guaranteed as to the payment of principal
and interest by GNMA. The guaranty obligation of GNMA with respect to the GNMA
Certificates will be backed by the full faith and credit of the United States,
but GNMA does not guarantee payment on the Bonds or on the Units of the Fund, as
such. The Fund is also designed for IRA accounts, Keogh plans and other
tax-deferred retirement programs. Units of the Fund are rated AAA by Standard &
Poor's.
MINIMUM PURCHASE IN INDIVIDUAL TRANSACTIONS: 1,000 UNITS
(NO MINIMUM FOR PAYROLL DEDUCTION PLANS)

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND

This Prospectus consists of two parts. The first includes an Investment Summary

<PAGE>
DEFINED ASSET FUNDSSM is America's oldest and largest family of unit investment
trusts with over $90 billion sponsored since 1970. Each Defined Fund is a
portfolio of preselected securities. The portfolio is divided into 'units'
representing equal shares of the underlying assets. Each unit receives an equal
share of income and principal distributions.
With Defined Asset Funds you know in advance what you are investing in and that
changes in the portfolio are limited. Most defined bond funds pay interest
monthly and repay principal as bonds are called, redeemed, sold or as they
mature. Defined equity funds offer preselected stock portfolios with defined
termination dates.
Your financial advisor can help you select a Defined Fund to meet your personal
investment objectives. Our size and market presence enable us to offer a wide
variety of investments. Defined Funds are available in the following types of
securities: municipal bonds, corporate bonds, government bonds, utility stocks,
growth stocks, even international securities denominated in foreign currencies.
Termination dates are as short as one year or as long as 30 years. Special funds
are available for investors seeking extra features: insured funds, double and
triple tax-free funds, and funds with 'laddered maturities' to help protect
against rising interest rates. Defined Funds are offered by prospectus only.

- ------------------------------
*These figures assume a purchase of 1,000 Units. The price of a single
Unit, or any multiple thereof, is calculated simply by dividing the
Public Offering Price per 1,000 Units, above, by 1,000, and multiplying
by the number of Units. The sales charge will be reduced on a graduated
scale in the case of quantity purchases (see Public Offering Price in
Part B). The resulting reduction in the Public Offering Price will
increase the effective return on a Unit.
**For Units purchased or redeemed on the Evaluation Date, accrued
interest is approximately equal to the undistributed net investment
income of the Fund (see Statement of Condition on p. D-2) divided by
the number of outstanding Units, plus accrued interest per Unit to the
expected date of settlement (5 business days after purchase or
redemption). The amount of the cash adjustment which is added is equal
to the cash per Unit held in the Capital Account not allocated to the
purchase of specific Securities (see Public Sale of Units--Public
Offering Price and Redemption in Part B).
+On the initial date of Deposit (December 17, 1985) the Principal Amount
of Securities in the Fund was $14,039,839. Cost of Securities is set
forth under Portfolio.
++The Trustee receives annually for its services as Trustee $0.95 per
$1,000 original Principal Amount of Compound Interest Bonds. The
Trustee's Annual Fee and Expenses also includes the Portfolio
Supervision Fee and the Evaluator's Fee set forth herein.
+++The Sponsors also may be reimbursed for their costs of bookkeeping
and administrative services to the Fund. Portfolio supervision fees
deducted in excess of portfolio supervision expenses may be used for
this reimbursement. Additional deductions for this purpose are
currently estimated not to exceed an annual rate of $0.10 per 1,000
Units.

We have audited the accompanying statement of condition of Defined Asset Funds -

financial statements are the responsibility of the Co-Trustees. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material

of Redemption Price Per Unit" in this Prospectus, Part B).
(b) Subsequent to December 18, 1985, accrued interest has been added to the
principal and cost of the collateralized bonds in accordance with
their terms. On May 1 and November 1 of each year, additional units
are issued ratably to Holders based on one unit per one dollar of
aggregate increase in the accreted principal amount of the compound
interest bonds.
(c) The Fund is not subject to income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for
such taxes is required.
(d) Interest income is recorded as earned.
2. DISTRIBUTIONS
The Fund receives distributions of principal or interest on its holdings of
the collateralized bonds in accordance with the terms of such bonds.
Generally, monthly distributions are made by the Fund to its Holders when
payments of principal and interest are received on such bonds. Proceeds
from the sale of investment securities in excess of the amount needed for
redemptions of units are distributed periodically. For additional
information, see "Risk Factors - Cash or Accretion Bond Series, Select
Series and GNMA- Collateralized Bond Series" in this Prospectus, Part B.

Federal income tax purposes in accordance with the grantor trust rules of
the United States Internal Revenue Code.
At March 31, 1994, the cost of the investment securities for Federal income
tax purposes was approximately equivalent to the adjusted cost as shown in
the Fund's portfolio.

RE: DEFINED ASSET FUNDS--CORPORATE INCOME FUND,
CASH OR ACCRETION BOND SERIES--4 (SEC Reg. Pound33-00938)
Dear Mr. Perini:
It is our understanding that you have filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission an Eighth Post Effective Amendment on the above captioned
fund, SEC file number 33-00938.
Because the portfolio is composed solely of United States Treasury
Obligations and collateralized mortgage obligations that are rated 'AAA' by
Standard & Poor's Rating Group and are collateralized by GNMA pass-through
certificates, we reaffirm the assignment of an 'AAA' rating to the units of the
fund.
You have permission to use the name of Standard & Poor's Corporation and
the above-assigned rating in connection with your dissemination of information
relating to these units, provided that it is understood that the rating is not a
'market' rating nor a recommendation to buy, hold or sell the units of trust.
Further, it should be understood that the rating does not take into account the
extent to which fund expenses or portfolio asset sales for less than the fund's
purchase price will reduce payment to the unit holders of the interest and
principal required to be paid on the portfolio assets. S&P reserves the right to
advise its own clients, subscribers, and the public of the rating. S&P relies on
the sponsor and its counsel, accountants, and other experts for the accuracy and
completeness of the information submitted in connection with the rating. S&P
does not independently verify the truth or accuracy of any such information.
This letter evidences our consent to the use of the name of Standard &
Poor's Corporation in connection with the rating assigned to the units in the
post-effective amendment referred to above. However, this letter should not be
construed as a consent by us, within the meaning of Section 7 of the Securities
Act of 1933, to the use of the name of Standard & Poor's Corporation in
connection with the ratings assigned to the securities contained in the trust.
You are hereby authorized to file a copy of this letter with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
Please be certain to send us three copies of your final prospectus as soon
as it becomes available. Should we not receive them within a reasonable time
after the closing or should they not conform to the representations made to us,
we reserve the right to withdraw the rating.
We are pleased to have had the opportunity to be of service to you. Our
bill will be sent to you within one month. If we can be of further help, please
do not hesitate to call upon us.
Sincerely
Richard P. Larkin
