     RE:  PPG Industries Employee Savings Plan/
          S-8 Registration Statement

To the Members of the Commission:

     This opinion is submitted in connection with the 
Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") 
being filed on October 7, 1996 with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 
"Act"), in respect of 10,000,000 shares of the Common Stock, par 
value $1.66 2/3 per share, of PPG Industries, Inc. (the 
"Corporation") and an indeterminate amount of interests of 
participation in the PPG Industries Employee Savings Plan (the 
"Plan").

     I am Senior Vice President and General Counsel of the 
Corporation and, in that capacity, I, or lawyers in the Law 
Department of the Corporation acting under my supervision, have 
examined the written documents constituting the Plan and such 
other documents and corporate records as I, or they, have deemed 
necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.

     Based on the foregoing, I am of the opinion that all of such 
shares and interests of participation, upon their issuance (or 
transfer in the case of shares acquired by the Corporation and 
held in its treasury) under the terms of the Plan and as 
authorized by the Corporation's Board of Directors, will be 
legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

     I am further of the opinion that the provisions of the 
written documents constituting the Plan comply with the 
requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 
1974, as amended, pertaining to such provisions.
