	    Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)


1.   Financial Statements

The condensed financial statements included herein are unaudited.  In the 
opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments, 
consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair 
presentation of the financial position of PPG Industries, Inc. and 
subsidiaries (the Company or PPG) at March 31, 1995, and the results of 
their operations and their cash flows for the three months ended March 
31, 1995 and 1994.  These condensed financial statements should be read 
in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included 
in PPG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1995 are 
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full 
year.

2.   Inventories

Inventories at March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994 are detailed below.

5.   Environmental Matters

Management of the Company anticipates that the resolution of the 
environmental contingencies discussed below, which will occur over an 
extended period of time, will not result in future annual charges to 
income that are significantly greater than those recorded in recent 
years.  It is possible, however, that technological, regulatory and 
enforcement developments, the results of environmental studies and other 
factors could alter this expectation.  In management's opinion, the 
Company operates in an environmentally sound manner and the outcome of 
these environmental matters will not have a material effect on PPG's 
financial position or liquidity.  To date, compliance with federal, 
state and local requirements has not had a material impact on PPG's 
financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

It is PPG's policy to accrue expenses for environmental contingencies 
when it is probable that a liability exists and the amount of loss can 
be reasonably estimated.  As of March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, 
PPG had environmental reserves totaling $89 million and $90 million, 
respectively.  Charges against income increasing these reserves for 
environmental remediation costs for the three months ended March 31, 
1995 and 1994 were $8 million and $1 million, respectively.

In addition to the amounts accrued, the Company may be subject to 
contingencies related to environmental matters estimated at the high end 
to be as much as $200 million to $400 million.  Such aggregate losses 
are reasonably possible but not currently considered to be probable of 
occurrence.  The Company's current environmental contingencies are 
expected to be resolved over a period of 20 years or more.  These loss 
contingencies include significant unresolved issues such as the nature 
and extent of contamination, if any, at sites and the methods that may 
have to be employed should remediation be required.  Although insurance 
may cover a portion of these costs, to the extent they are incurred, any 
potential recovery is not included in this unrecorded exposure to future 
loss.  With respect to certain waste sites, the financial condition of 
any other potentially responsible parties also contributes to the 
uncertainty of estimating PPG's final costs.  Although contributors of 
waste to sites involving other potentially responsible parties may face 
governmental agency assertions of joint and several liability, in 
general, final allocations of costs are made based on the relative 
contributions of wastes to such sites.  PPG is generally not a major 
contributor to such sites.  Although the unrecorded exposure to future 
loss relates to all sites, a significant portion of such unrecorded 
exposure involves three operating plant sites and one closed plant site. 
Two of the sites are in the early stages of study, while the remaining 
two are further into the study phase.  All four sites require additional 
study to assess the magnitude of contamination, if any, and the 
remediation alternatives.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
	 Condition and Results of Operations

Performance Overview

Sales for the first quarter of 1995 and 1994 were $1.74 billion and $1.48 
billion, respectively.  The sales increase was attributable to higher prices, 
particularly for our chlor-alkali and derivative, fiber glass, and flat glass 
products, higher volumes in each of the business segments, and the favorable 
effects of foreign currency translation.

The gross profit percentage increased to 40.9% from 38.3% in the prior year's 
quarter.  Contributing factors to the improvement were higher overall sales 
prices and benefits from manufacturing efficiencies.  The negative effects of 
inflation partially offset these gains.

During the first quarter of 1995, a legal settlement regarding a glass 
technology dispute with Pilkington plc of England resulted in a $24.2 million 
after-tax gain ($0.12 per share).

Net income and earnings per share for the quarter were $219.2 million and 
$1.06, respectively.  In the first quarter of 1994, net income and earnings 
per share were $121.9 million and $0.57, respectively.  Current period income 
was favorably impacted by the factors that contributed to the gross profit 
percentage improvement, higher sales volumes, and increased other earnings 
which were attributable to gains from legal settlements.  Partially offsetting 
these gains were higher income tax expense and increased other charges.  The 
majority of the increase in other charges was the result of a charge for a 
legal dispute and higher environmental expenses.

Performance of Business Segments

Coatings and resins sales increased to $684 million from $621 million for the 
first quarter of 1994.  Operating earnings for the corresponding periods were 
$129 million and $124 million, respectively.  The increase in sales was 
primarily attributable to higher volumes in the European automotive original 
and worldwide industrial coatings product lines, the favorable effects of 
translating European currencies, and stronger prices for our automotive 
refinish products. Lower North American automotive refinish volume partially 
offset these improvements.  Operating earnings remained relatively flat as 
volume and manufacturing efficiencies, combined with a gain from a settlement 
of an industrial coatings dispute, were substantially offset by the negative 
effects of inflation on raw material and overhead costs.









				   - 8 -



<PAGE>
Glass sales increased to $661 million in the first quarter of 1995 from $568 
million in the prior year's quarter.  Operating income increased to $155 
million from $76 million in the corresponding 1994 period.  Higher sales 
prices, principally for worldwide fiber glass and flat glass products, higher 
volumes in most of the segment's major businesses, principally worldwide 
automotive original and fiber glass, and the favorable effects of translating 
European currencies contributed to the sales increase.  Lower North American 
automotive replacement glass volume partially offset these improvements.  
Increased operating earnings were primarily the result of the factors that 
contributed to the sales increase, manufacturing efficiencies, and the gain 
from the legal settlement with Pilkington.  The negative effects of inflation 
and higher overhead costs partially offset these improvements.

Chemicals sales increased to $396 million from $288 million in the first 
quarter of 1994.  Operating earnings for the corresponding periods were $93 
million and $36 million, respectively.  The increase in sales was primarily 
attributable to substantial price gains for chlor-alkali and derivative 
products and volume improvements for most specialty and chlor-alkali 
derivative products.  The increase in operating earnings was attributable to 
the factors that contributed to the sales increase combined with manufacturing 
efficiencies.  Partially offsetting these improvements were the negative 
effects of inflation, particularly on ethylene costs, a charge for a legal 
dispute, increased environmental expenses, and higher overhead costs.

Other Factors

The increase in income tax expense was principally due to significantly higher 
pre-tax earnings.  Partially offsetting this was a decrease in the effective 
tax rate, primarily attributable to losses at certain European subsidiaries 
for which we were unable to recognize any income tax benefit in 1994.  The 
increase in income taxes payable was principally the result of the timing of 
estimated tax payments in the first quarter of 1995 versus the fourth quarter 
of 1994.

The increase in accounts receivable was the result of higher sales in February 
and March of 1995 as compared with those in November and December of 1994, 
seasonal extended credit terms to certain customers, and the strengthening of 
certain European currencies against the U.S. dollar.  Also contributing to the 
increase was the receivable from the legal settlement with Pilkington which 
was collected in early April 1995.

Higher inventories were mainly due to a build-up in our coatings and resins 
and glass segments to support anticipated stronger seasonal sales volumes and 
the strengthening of certain European currencies against the U.S. dollar.

The decline in investments was principally due to a loan taken against the 
cash surrender value of an investment in company-owned life insurance.




				   - 9 -



<PAGE>
The decline in long-term debt was primarily attributable to a reclassification 
of the portion of long-term notes maturing in the first quarter of 1996 to 
current liabilities.  Substantially offsetting this increase in such 
liabilities was the repayment of certain short-term borrowings with cash 
generated from operations.

PPG's Board of Directors approved a repurchase of ten million shares of PPG 
common stock.  The shares may be repurchased in open market or private 
transactions and a timetable for the repurchase has not been established.
	     
Environmental Matters

Management of the Company anticipates that the resolution of the environmental 
contingencies discussed below, which will occur over an extended period of 
time, will not result in future annual charges to income that are 
significantly greater than those recorded in recent years.  It is possible, 
however, that technological, regulatory and enforcement developments, the 
results of environmental studies and other factors could alter this 
expectation.  In management's opinion, the Company operates in an 
environmentally sound manner and the outcome of these environmental matters 
will not have a material effect on PPG's financial position or liquidity.  To 
date, compliance with federal, state and local requirements has not had a 
material impact on PPG's financial position, results of operations or 
liquidity.

It is PPG's policy to accrue expenses for environmental contingencies when it 
is probable that a liability exists and the amount of loss can be reasonably 
estimated.  As of March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, PPG had environmental 
reserves totaling $89 million and $90 million, respectively.  Charges against 
income increasing these reserves for environmental remediation costs for the 
three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 were $8 million and $1 million, 
respectively.

In addition to the amounts accrued, the Company may be subject to 
contingencies related to environmental matters estimated at the high end to be 
as much as $200 million to $400 million.  Such aggregate losses are reasonably 
possible but not currently considered to be probable of occurrence.  The 
Company's current environmental contingencies are expected to be resolved over 
a period of 20 years or more.  These loss contingencies include significant 
unresolved issues such as the nature and extent of contamination, if any, at 
sites and the methods that may have to be employed should remediation be 
required.  Although insurance may cover a portion of these costs, to the 
extent they are incurred, any potential recovery is not included in this 
unrecorded exposure to future loss.  With respect to certain waste sites, the 
financial condition of any other potentially responsible parties also 
contributes to the uncertainty of estimating PPG's final costs.  Although 
contributors of waste to sites involving other potentially responsible parties 
may face governmental agency assertions of joint and several liability, in 
    



				   - 10 -

<PAGE>
general, final allocations of costs are made based on the relative 
contributions of wastes to such sites.  PPG is generally not a major 
contributor to such sites.  Although the unrecorded exposure to future loss 
relates to all sites, a significant portion of such unrecorded exposure 
involves three operating plant sites and one closed plant site. Two of the 
sites are in the early stages of study, while the remaining two are further 
into the study phase.  All four sites require additional study to assess the 
magnitude of contamination, if any, and the remediation alternatives.

Foreign Currency and Interest Rate Risk

As a multinational company, PPG manages its transaction exposure to foreign 
currency risk to minimize the volatility of cash flows caused by currency 
fluctuations.  The Company manages its foreign currency exposures principally 
through the purchase of forward and option contracts.  It does not manage its 
exposure to translation gains and losses; however, by borrowing in local 
currencies it reduces such exposure.  The market value of the forward and 
option contracts purchased and outstanding as of March 31, 1995, was not 
material.

The Company manages its interest rate risk in order to balance its exposure 
between fixed and variable rates while attempting to minimize its interest 
costs.  PPG principally manages its interest rate risk by retiring and issuing 
debt from time to time.  To a limited extent, PPG manages its interest rate 
risk through the purchase of interest rate swaps.  As of March 31, 1995 and 
December 31, 1994, the notional principal amounts and fair values of interest 
rate swaps held were immaterial.

PPG's policies do not permit active trading of currency or interest rate 
derivatives.

	Robert Mehrabian             165,379,252             1,056,879

the Registrant for the year 1995, the vote was as follows:

for 1995.

3. On the matter of a proposal to amend the Restated Articles of 
Incorporation of the Registrant to increase the number of authorized 
shares of common stock from 300 million to 600 million shares, the vote

		   20, 1995

	  (11)    Computation of Earnings Per Share

	  (27)    Financial Data Schedule

      (b)  Reports on Form 8-K

      The Company filed a Form 8-K on April 7, 1995, dated April 4, 1995, 
      attaching a press release.  The release indicated that the glass 
      technology dispute with Pilkington plc of England had been settled. 
      Both companies dismissed all actions on the basis of no finding of 
      fault on either side.  Pilkington plc is to pay PPG $50 million, 
      being reimbursement of $36 million paid by PPG to Pilkington after 
      an earlier litigation and a contribution toward balancing of legal 
      costs.  This settlement eliminates all existing claims between PPG 
      and Pilkington and those companies agreed generally not to file any 
      future claims against each other, or their subsidiaries or 
      licensees, concerning float-process technology for making flat 
      glass.

      The Company filed a Form 8-K on April 24, 1995, dated April 20, 
      1995.  The report indicated that on April 20, 1995 the Board of 
      Directors approved the repurchase of ten million shares of the 
      Company's outstanding common stock, par value $1.66 2/3 per share. 
      The shares may be repurchased in open market or private 
      transactions and a timetable was not established for the 
      repurchase.

1933, as amended.

	FOURTH.  The term of its existence is perpetual.

	FIFTH.  5.1  The aggregate number of shares of all classes of 
capital stock which the corporation shall have authority to issue is

without par value, issuable in one or more series and 600,000,000 
shares shall be Common Stock, par value $1.66 2/3 per share.

	5.2     The Board of Directors is hereby expressly authorized, at 
any time or from time to time, to divide any or all of the shares of 
Preferred Stock into one or more series, and in the resolution or 
resolutions establishing a particular series, before issuance of any 


<PAGE>
of the shares thereof, to fix and determine the number of shares and 
the designation of such series, so as to distinguish it from the 
shares of all other series and classes, and to fix and determine the 
preferences, voting rights, qualifications, privileges, limitations, 
options, conversion rights, restrictions and other special or relative 
rights of the Preferred Stock or of such series, to the fullest extent 
now or hereafter permitted by the laws of the Commonwealth of 
Pennsylvania, including, but not limited to, the variations between 
different series in the following respects:

(a)     the distinctive designation of such series and the number of 
shares which shall constitute such series, which number may 
be increased or decreased (but not below the number of 
shares thereof then outstanding) from time to time by the 
Board of Directors;

(b)     the annual dividend rate for such series, and the date or 
dates from which dividends shall commence to accrue;

(c)     the price or prices at which, and the terms and conditions 
on which, the shares of such series may be made redeemable;

(d)     the purchase or sinking fund provisions, if any, for the

of shares of the corporation or other securities into which 
such shares may be converted;

(h)     the relative seniority, parity or junior rank of such series 
as to dividends or assets with respect to any other classes 
or series of stock then or thereafter to be issued; and

(i)     such other terms, qualifications, privileges, limitations, 
options, restrictions, and special or relative rights and 
preferences, if any, of shares of such series as the Board 
of Directors may, at the time of such resolution or 
resolutions, lawfully fix and determine under the laws of 
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Unless otherwise provided in a resolution or resolutions establishing 
any particular series, the aggregate number of authorized shares of 


<PAGE>
Preferred Stock may be increased by an amendment of the Restated 
Articles approved solely by a majority vote of the outstanding shares 
of Common Stock (or solely with a lesser vote of the Common Stock, or 
solely by action of the Board of Directors, if permitted by law at the 
time).

	All shares of any one series shall be alike in every particular, 
except with respect to the accrual of dividends prior to the date of 
issuance.

	Attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference 
is a statement of the designation and number of shares and of the 
voting rights, preferences, limitations and special rights, if any, of 
the first series of the Preferred Stock, as previously determined by a 
resolution adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to this 
Section 5.2.

	5.3     Except for and subject to those rights expressly granted to 
the holders of Preferred Stock or any series thereof by resolution or 
resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 5.2 
of this Article Fifth and except as may be provided by the laws of the 
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the holders of Common Stock shall have 
exclusively all other rights of shareholders.

	5.4(a)  No holder of Common Stock or of any other class of stock 
of the corporation shall be entitled as such, as a matter of right, to 
subscribe for or purchase any part of any new or additional issue of 
stock of any class or of securities convertible into any stock of any 
class, whether now or hereafter authorized and whether issued for cash 
or other consideration or by way of dividend, and the corporation may 
issue shares, option rights or securities having option or conversion 
rights without first offering them to shareholders of any class.

	(b)     The holders of Common Stock shall have the right of 
cumulative voting in all elections of directors.

	SIXTH.  6.1  The business and affairs of the corporation shall be 
managed by a Board of Directors comprised as follows:

(a)     The Board of Directors shall consist of not less than 9 nor 
more than 17 persons, the exact number to be fixed from time 
to time by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution 
adopted by a majority vote of the directors then in office;

(b)     Directors shall, from and after the annual meeting of 
shareholders held in 1987, continue to be classified with 
respect to the time for which they shall severally hold 
office by dividing them into 3 classes, as nearly equal in 
number as possible.  At such meeting and at each succeeding 


<PAGE>
annual meeting of shareholders, the class of directors then 
being elected shall be elected to hold office for a term of 
3 years.  Each director shall hold office for the term for 
which elected and until his or her successor shall have been 
elected and qualified;

(c)     Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of 
Preferred Stock then outstanding, any director, any class of 
directors, or the entire Board of Directors, may be removed 
from office by shareholder vote at any time, with or without 
assigning any cause, but only if shareholders entitled to 
cast at least 80% of the votes which all shareholders would 
be entitled to cast at an annual election of directors or of 
such class of directors shall vote in favor of such removal; 
provided, however, that no individual director shall be 
removed (unless the entire Board of Directors or any class 
of directors be removed) in case the votes cast against such 
removal would be sufficient, if voted cumulatively for such 
director, to elect him or her to the class of directors of 
which he or she is a member; and

(d)     Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of 
Preferred Stock then outstanding, vacancies in the Board of 
Directors, including vacancies resulting from an increase in 
the number of directors, shall be filled only by a majority 
vote of the remaining directors then in office, though less 
than a quorum, except that vacancies resulting from removal 
from office by a vote of the shareholders may be filled by 
the shareholders at the same meeting at which such removal 
occurs.  All directors elected to fill vacancies shall hold 
office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of 
shareholders at which the term of the class to which they 
have been elected expires.  No decrease in the number of 
directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten 
the term of any incumbent director.

	6.2     Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, the Restated 
Articles or the Bylaws of the corporation, the affirmative vote of the 
holders of at least 80% of the voting power of the then outstanding 
shares of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote in an 
annual election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall 
be required to amend or repeal, or to adopt any provision inconsistent 
with, this Article Sixth.

	SEVENTH.  7.1  A higher than majority shareholder vote for 
certain Business Combinations shall be required as follows (all 
capitalized terms being used as subsequently defined herein):


<PAGE>
(a)     In addition to any affirmative vote required by law or the 
Restated Articles, and except as otherwise expressly 
provided in Section 7.2 of this Article Seventh:

(1)     any merger or consolidation of the corporation or any 
Subsidiary with (A) any Interested Shareholder or with (B) 
any other corporation (whether or not itself an Interested 
Shareholder) which is, or after such merger or consolidation 
would be, an Affiliate or Associate of an Interested 
Shareholder;

(2)     any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer 
or other disposition (in one transaction or a series of 
transactions) to or with any Interested Shareholder or any 
Affiliate or Associate of any Interested Shareholder of any 
assets of the corporation or any Subsidiary having an 
aggregate Fair Market Value of $10,000,000 or more;

(3)     the issuance or sale by the corporation or any 
Subsidiary (in one transaction or a series of transactions) 
of any securities of the corporation or any Subsidiary to 
any Interested Shareholder or any Affiliate or Associate of 
any Interested Shareholder in exchange for cash, securities 
or other consideration (or a combination thereof) having an 
aggregate Fair Market Value of $10,000,000 or more;

(4)     the adoption of any plan or proposal for the 
liquidation or dissolution of the corporation proposed by or 
on behalf of any Interested Shareholder or any Affiliate or 
Associate of any Interested Shareholder; or

(5)     any reclassification of securities (including any 
reverse stock split), or recapitalization of the 
corporation, or any merger or consolidation of the 
corporation with any of its Subsidiaries or any other 
transaction (whether or not with or into or otherwise 
involving an Interested Shareholder) which has the effect, 
directly or indirectly, of increasing the proportionate 
share of the outstanding shares of any class of equity 
securities or securities convertible into equity securities 
of the corporation or any Subsidiary which is directly or 
indirectly owned by any Interested Shareholder or any 
Affiliate or Associate of any Interested Shareholder;

shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of 
the voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of 
the corporation entitled to vote in an annual election of directors 
(the "Voting Stock"), voting together as a single class.  Such 
affirmative vote shall be required notwithstanding the fact that no 


<PAGE>
vote may be required, or that a lesser percentage may be specified, by 
law or in any agreement with any national securities exchange or 
otherwise.

(b)     The term "Business Combination" as used in this Article 
Seventh shall mean any transaction which is referred to in 
any one or more of clauses (1) through (5) of paragraph (a) 
of Section 7.1 of this Article Seventh.

	7.2     The provisions of Section 7.1 of this Article Seventh shall 
not be applicable to any Business Combination, and such Business 
Combination shall require only such affirmative vote (if any) as is 
required by law, any other provision of the Restated Articles or any 
agreement with any national securities exchange, if all of the 
conditions specified in either of the following paragraphs (a) or (b) 
are met:

(a)     The Business Combination shall have been approved by a 
majority of the Continuing Directors; or

(b)     All of the following six conditions shall have been met:

(1)     The transaction constituting the Business Combination 
shall provide for a consideration to be received by holders 
of Common Stock in exchange for their stock, and the 
aggregate amount of the cash and the Fair Market Value as of 
the date of the consummation of the Business Combination of 
consideration other than cash to be received per share by 
holders of Common Stock in such Business Combination shall 
be at least equal to the highest of the following:

(A)     (if applicable) the highest per share price 
(including any brokerage commissions, transfer 
taxes and soliciting dealers' fees) paid in order 
to acquire any shares of Common Stock 
beneficially owned by the Interested Shareholder 
which were acquired (i) within the two-year 
period immediately prior to the first public 
announcement of the proposed Business Combination 
(the "Announcement Date") or (ii) in the 
transaction in which it became an Interested 
Shareholder, whichever is higher;

(B)     the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock 
on the Announcement Date or on the date on which 
the Interested Shareholder became an Interested 
Shareholder (the "Determination Date"), whichever 
is higher; and


<PAGE>
(C)     (if applicable) the price per share equal to the 
Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock 
determined pursuant to clause (B) immediately 
preceding, multiplied by the ratio of (i) the 
highest per share price (including any brokerage 
commissions, transfer taxes and soliciting 
dealers' fees) paid in order to acquire any 
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the 
Interested Shareholder which were acquired within 
the two-year period immediately prior to the 
Announcement Date to (ii) the Fair Market Value 
per share of Common Stock on the first day in 
such two-year period on which the Interested 
Shareholder beneficially owned any shares of 
Common Stock.

(2)     If the transaction constituting the Business 
Combination shall provide for a consideration to be received 
by holders of any class of outstanding Voting Stock other 
than Common Stock and other than Institutional Voting Stock, 
the aggregate amount of the cash and the Fair Market Value 
as of the date of the consummation of the Business 
Combination of consideration other than cash to be received 
per share by holders of shares of such Voting Stock shall be 
at least equal to the highest of the following (it being 
intended that the requirements of this clause (b)(2) shall 
be required to be met with respect to every class of 
outstanding Voting Stock (other than Institutional Voting 
Stock), whether or not the Interested Shareholder 
beneficially owns any shares of a particular class of Voting 
Stock):

(A)     (if applicable) the highest per share price 
(including any brokerage commissions, transfer 
taxes and soliciting dealers' fees) paid in order 
to acquire any shares of such class of Voting 
Stock beneficially owned by the Interested 
Shareholder which were acquired (i) within the 
two-year period immediately prior to the 
Announcement Date or (ii) in the transaction in 
which it became an Interested Shareholder, 
whichever is higher;

(B)     (if applicable) the highest preferential amount 
per share to which the holders of shares of such 
class of Voting Stock are entitled in the event 
of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, 
dissolution or winding up of the corporation;


<PAGE>
(C)     the Fair Market Value per share of such class of 
Voting Stock on the Announcement Date or on the 
Determination Date, whichever is higher; and

(D)     (if applicable) the price per share equal to the 
Fair Market Value per share of such class of 
Voting Stock determined pursuant to clause (C) 
immediately preceding, multiplied by the ratio of 
(i) the highest per share price (including any 
brokerage commissions, transfer taxes and 
soliciting dealers' fees) paid in order to 
acquire any shares of such class of Voting Stock 
beneficially owned by the Interested Shareholder 
which were acquired within the two-year period 
immediately prior to the Announcement Date to 
(ii) the Fair Market Value per share of such 
class of Voting Stock on the first day in such 
two-year period on which the Interested 
Shareholder beneficially owned any shares of such 
class of Voting Stock.

(3)     The consideration to be received by holders of a 
particular class of outstanding Voting Stock (including 
Common Stock) shall be in cash or in the same form as was 
previously paid in order to acquire shares of such class of 
Voting Stock which are beneficially owned by the Interested 
Shareholder.  If the Interested Shareholder beneficially 
owns shares of any class of Voting Stock which were acquired 
with varying forms of consideration, the form of 
consideration to be received by holders of such class of 
Voting Stock shall be either cash or the form used to 
acquire the largest number of shares of such class of Voting 
Stock beneficially owned by it.

(4)     After such Interested Shareholder has become an 
Interested Shareholder and prior to the consummation of such 
Business Combination:  (A) except as approved by a majority 
of the Continuing Directors, there shall have been no 
failure to declare and pay at the regular date therefor any 
full quarterly dividends (whether or not cumulative) on any 
outstanding Preferred Stock; (B) there shall have been (i) 
no reduction in the annual rate of dividends paid on the 
Common Stock (except as necessary to reflect any subdivision 
of the Common Stock), except as approved by a majority of 
the Continuing Directors, and (ii) an increase in such 
annual rate of dividends (as necessary to prevent any such 
reduction) in the event of any reclassification (including 
any reverse stock split), recapitalization, reorganization 
or any similar transaction which has the effect of reducing 


<PAGE>
the number of outstanding shares of the Common Stock, unless 
the failure so to increase such annual rate is approved by a 
majority of the Continuing Directors; and (C) such 
Interested Shareholder shall not have become the beneficial 
owner of any additional shares of Voting Stock except as 
part of the transaction in which it became an Interested 
Shareholder.

(5)     After such Interested Shareholder has become an 
Interested Shareholder, such Interested Shareholder shall 
not have received the benefit, directly or indirectly 
(except proportionately as a shareholder), of any loans, 
advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial assistance 
or any tax credits or other tax advantages provided by the 
corporation, whether in anticipation of or in connection 
with such Business Combination or otherwise.

(6)     A proxy or information statement describing the 
proposed Business Combination and complying with the 
requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the 
rules and regulations thereunder (or any subsequent 
provisions replacing such Act, rules or regulations) shall 
be mailed to public shareholders of the corporation at least 
30 days prior to the consummation of such Business 
Combination (whether or not such proxy or information 
statement is required to be mailed pursuant to such Act or 
subsequent provisions).

	7.3     For the purposes of this Article Seventh:

(a)     A "person" shall mean any individual, firm, 
corporation or other entity.

(b)     "Interested Shareholder" at any particular time shall 
mean any person (other than the corporation or any 
Subsidiary) who or which:

(1)     is at such time the beneficial owner, directly or 
indirectly, of more than 20% of the voting power of 
the outstanding Voting Stock;

(2)     is at such time a director of the corporation and 
at any time within the two-year period immediately 
prior to such time was the beneficial owner, directly 
or indirectly, of more than 20% of the voting power of 
the then outstanding Voting Stock; or

(3)     is at such time an assignee of or has otherwise 
succeeded to the beneficial ownership of any shares of 


<PAGE>
Voting Stock which were at any time within the two-
year period immediately prior to such time 
beneficially owned by any Interested Shareholder, if 
such assignment or succession shall have occurred in 
the course of a transaction or series of transactions 
not involving a public offering within the meaning of 
the Securities Act of 1933.

(c)     A person shall be a "beneficial owner" of any shares 
of Voting Stock:

(1)     which such person or any of its Affiliates or 
Associates beneficially owns, directly or indirectly;

(2)     which such person or any of its Affiliates or 
Associates has (A) the right to acquire (whether or 
not such right is exercisable immediately) pursuant to 
any agreement, arrangement or understanding or upon 
the exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, 
warrants or options, or otherwise, or (B) the right to 
vote pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or 
understanding; or

(3)     which are beneficially owned, directly or 
indirectly, by any other person with which such person 
or any of its Affiliates or Associates has any 
agreement, arrangement or understanding for the 
purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of 
any shares of Voting Stock.

(d)     For the purposes of determining whether a person is an 
Interested Shareholder pursuant to paragraph (b) of 
this Section 7.3, the number of shares of Voting Stock 
deemed to be outstanding shall include shares deemed 
owned by an Interested Shareholder through application 
of paragraph (c) of this Section 7.3 but shall not 
include any other shares of Voting Stock which may be 
issuable pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or 
understanding, or upon the exercise of conversion 
rights, exchange rights, warrants or options, or 
otherwise.

(e)     "Affiliate" or "Associate" shall have the respective 
meanings ascribed to such terms in Rule 12b-2 of the 
General Rules and Regulations under the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934, as in effect on February 17, 
1983 (the term "registrant" in said Rule 12b-2 meaning 
in this case the corporation).


<PAGE>
(f)     "Subsidiary" means any corporation of which a majority 
of any class of equity security is owned, directly or

corporation of which a majority of each class of 
equity security is owned, directly or indirectly, by 
the corporation.

(g)     "Continuing Director" means any member of the Board of

quoted on the Composite Tape, on the New York Stock 
Exchange, or, if such stock is not listed on such

shares of Common Stock and/or the shares of any other

	7.4     The Board of Directors shall have the power and duty to

Voting Stock beneficially owned by any person, (c) whether a person is

determination made in good faith shall be binding and conclusive on 
all parties.

	7.5     Nothing contained in this Article Seventh shall be construed

to any actions filed prior to January 27, 1987, nor to any breach of 
performance of duty or any failure of performance of duty by any 
director occurring prior to January 27, 1987.  The provisions of this 
Article Eighth shall be deemed to be a contract with each director of 
the corporation who serves as such at any time while such provisions 
are in effect, and each such director shall be deemed to be serving as 
such in reliance on such provisions.  Any amendment to or repeal of 


<PAGE>
this Article Eighth, or adoption of any other Article or Bylaw of the 
corporation, which has the effect of increasing director liability 
shall require the affirmative vote of at least 80% of the voting power 
of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation 
entitled to vote in an annual election of directors, voting together 
as a single class.  Any such amendment or repeal, or other Article or 
Bylaw, shall operate prospectively only and shall not have effect with 
respect to any action taken, or any failure to act, by a director 
prior thereto.

				 Exhibit A

		      Statement of the designation and
		     number of shares and of the voting
		    rights, preferences, limitations and
		    special rights, if any, of the first
			series of the Preferred Stock




	Section 1.  Designation and Amount.  The shares of such series 
shall be designated as "Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock" 
(the "Series A Preferred Stock") and the number of shares constituting 
the Series A Preferred Stock shall be 1,500,000.  Such number of 
shares may be increased or decreased by resolution of the Board of 
Directors; provided, that no decrease shall reduce the number of 
shares of Series A Preferred Stock to a number less than the number of 
shares then outstanding plus the number of shares reserved for 
issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options, rights or warrants 
or upon the conversion of any outstanding securities issued by the 
Corporation convertible into Series A Preferred Stock.

	Section 2.  Dividends and Distributions.

	(A)  Subject to the rights of the holders of any shares of any 
series of Preferred Stock (or any similar stock) ranking prior and 
superior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, 
the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in preference to 
the holders of Common Stock, par value $1.66-2/3 per share (the 
"Common Stock"), of the Corporation, and of any other junior stock, 
shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of 
Directors out of funds legally available for the purpose, quarterly 
dividends payable in cash on the first day of March, June, September 
and December in each year (each such date being referred to herein as 
a "Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on the first 
Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or 
fraction of a share of Series A Preferred Stock, in an amount per 
share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $1 or 
(b) subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, 100 
times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and 100 
times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash 
dividends or other distributions, other than a dividend payable in 
shares of Common Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of 
Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the 
Common Stock since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend 
Payment Date or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment 
Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of 
Series A Preferred Stock.  In the event the Corporation shall at any 
time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares 


<PAGE>
of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or 
consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by 
reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares 
of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common 
Stock, then in each such case the amount to which holders of shares of 
Series A Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event 
under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by 
multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the 
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such 
event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common 
Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

	(B)  The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution 
on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph (A) of this 
Section immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on 
the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of Common 
Stock); provided that, in the event no dividend or distribution shall 
have been declared on the Common Stock during the period between any 
Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and the next subsequent Quarterly 
Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $1 per share on the Series A 
Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent 
Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.

	(C)  Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on 
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock from the Quarterly 
Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares, 
unless the date of issue of such shares is prior to the record date 
for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case dividends 
on such shares shall begin to accrue from the date of issue of such 
shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment 
Date or is a date after the record date for the determination of 
holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive a 
quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in 
either of which events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be 
cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.  Accrued but 
unpaid dividends shall not bear interest.  Dividends paid on the 
shares of Series A Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total 
amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such 
shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all 
such shares at the time outstanding.  The Board of Directors may fix a 
record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A 
Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or 
distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be not more 
than 50 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.

	(D)  The annual dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock shall 
be equal to the sum of the quarterly dividends in each year.


<PAGE>
	Section 3.  Voting Rights.  The holders of shares of Series A 
Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights:

	(A)  Subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set 
forth, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder 
thereof to 100 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the 
shareholders of the Corporation, and such holders shall have the right 
to cumulative voting in all elections of Directors.  In the event the 
Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the 
Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a 
subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares 
of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a 
dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of 
shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the number of votes per 
share to which holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were 
entitled immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by 
multiplying such number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the 
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such 
event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common 
Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

	(B)  Except as otherwise provided herein, in any other 
Statement creating a series of Preferred Stock or any similar stock, 
or by law, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the 
holders of shares of Common Stock and any other capital stock of the 
Corporation having general voting rights shall vote together as one 
class on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the 
Corporation.

	(C)  Except as set forth herein, or as otherwise provided by 
law, holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have no special voting 
rights and their consent shall not be required (except to the extent 
they are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth 
herein) for taking any corporate action.

	Section 4.  Certain Restrictions.

	(A)  Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or 
distributions payable on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided in 
Section 2 are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid 
dividends and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of 
Series A Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the 
Corporation shall not:

	(i)     declare or pay dividends, or make any other 
distributions, on any shares of stock ranking junior (either 
as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding 
up) to the Series A Preferred Stock;


<PAGE>
	(ii)    declare or pay dividends, or make any other 
distributions, on any shares of stock ranking on a parity 
(either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or 
winding up) with the Series A Preferred Stock, except 
dividends paid ratably on the Series A Preferred Stock and all 
such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears 
in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all 
such shares are then entitled;

	(iii)   redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for 
consideration shares of any stock ranking junior (either as to 
dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to 
the Series A Preferred Stock, provided that the Corporation 
may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares 
of any such junior stock in exchange for shares of any stock 
of the Corporation ranking junior (either as to dividends or 
upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up) to the Series A 
Preferred Stock; or

	(iv)    redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for 
consideration any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or any 
shares of stock ranking on a parity with the Series A 
Preferred Stock, except in accordance with a purchase offer 
made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board 
of Directors) to all holders of such shares upon such terms as 
the Board of Directors, after consideration of the respective 
annual dividend rates and other relative rights and 
preferences of the respective series and classes, shall 
determine in good faith will result in fair and equitable 
treatment among the respective series or classes.

	(B)  The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the 
Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any 
shares of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under 
paragraph (A) of this Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such 
shares at such time and in such manner.

	Section 5.  Reacquired Shares.  Any shares of Series A 
Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in 
any manner whatsoever shall be retired and cancelled promptly after 
the acquisition thereof.  All such shares shall upon their 
cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock 
and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock subject 
to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein, in 
the Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or in any other 
Statement creating a series of Preferred Stock or any similar stock or 
as otherwise required by law.


<PAGE>
	Section 6.  Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.  Upon any 
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no 
distribution shall be made (1) to the holders of shares of stock 
ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, 
dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock unless, 
prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall 
have received $100 per share, plus an amount equal to accrued and 
unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, 
to the date of such payment, provided that the holders of shares of 
Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive an aggregate 
amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter 
set forth, equal to 100 times the aggregate amount to be distributed 
per share to holders of shares of Common Stock, or (2) to the holders 
of shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon 
liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Preferred 
Stock, except distributions made ratably on the Series A Preferred 
Stock and all such parity stock in proportion to the total amounts to 
which the holders of all such shares are entitled upon such 
liquidation, dissolution or winding up.  In the event the Corporation 
shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock 
payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or 
combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock 
(by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in 
shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of 
Common Stock, then in each such case the aggregate amount to which 
holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled 
immediately prior to such event under the provision in clause (1) of 
the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by 
a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common 
Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of 
which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding 
immediately prior to such event.

	Section 7.  Consolidation, Merger, etc.  In case the 
Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or 
other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged 
for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other 
property, then in any such case each share of Series A Preferred Stock 
shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed into an 
amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter 
set forth, equal to 100 times the aggregate amount of stock, 
securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the 
case may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock is 
changed or exchanged.  In the event the Corporation shall at any time 
declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of 
Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation 
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or 
otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) 
into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in 


<PAGE>
each such case the amount set forth in the preceding sentence with 
respect to the exchange or change of shares of Series A Preferred 
Stock shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the 
numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding 
immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the 
number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately 
prior to such event.

	Section 8.  No Redemption.  The shares of Series A Preferred 
Stock shall not be redeemable.

	Section 9.  Fractional Shares.  The Corporation may issue 
fractions and certificates representing fractions of a share of Series 
A Preferred Stock in integral multiples of 1/100th of a share of 
Series A Preferred Stock, or in lieu thereof, at the election of the 
Board of Directors of the Corporation at the time of the first issue 
of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, evidence such fractions by 
depositary receipts, pursuant to an appropriate agreement between the 
Corporation and a depositary selected by it, provided that such 
agreement shall provide that the holders of such depositary receipts 
shall have all the rights, privileges and preferences to which they 
would be entitled as beneficial owners of shares of Series A Preferred 
Stock.  In the event that fractional shares of Series A Preferred 
Stock are issued, the holders thereof shall have all the rights 
provided herein for holders of full shares of Series A Preferred Stock 
in the proportion which such fraction bears to a full share.

	Section 10.  Amendment.  The Restated Articles of 
Incorporation, as amended, of the Corporation shall not be amended in 
any manner which would materially alter or change the powers, 
preferences or special rights of the Series A Preferred Stock so as to 
affect them adversely without the affirmative vote of the holders of 
two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, 
voting together as a single class.
