Cash Trust Series, Inc.
Federated Investors Tower
Pittsburgh, PA  15222-3779

Gentlemen:

      You have requested my opinion in conjunction with the registration by
Cash Trust Series, Inc. (the "Corporation") of an additional 275,493,390
shares of its common stock pursuant to Post-effective Amendment No. 12 to the
Corporation's registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 (File No. 33-29838). The subject
Post-effective Amendment will be filed pursuant to Paragraph (b) of Rule 485
and become effective pursuant to said Rule immediately upon filing.

      As counsel I have participated in the preparation and filing of the
Corporation's amended registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933
referred to above. Further, I have examined and am familiar with the
Corporation's Articles of Incorporation dated May 16, 1989 ("Articles of
Incorporation"), its Bylaws and other corporate documents and records deemed
relevant. I have also reviewed questions of law and consulted with counsel
thereon as deemed necessary or appropriate by me for the purpose of this
opinion.

      On the basis of the foregoing, it is my opinion that:

      1.    The Corporation is duly organized and validly existing under the
laws of the State of Maryland.

      2.    The Corporation is authorized to issue 50,000,000,000 shares of
common stock of a par value of $0.001 per share.

      3.    The Shares which are currently being registered by the
Registration Statement referred to above may be legally and validly issued
from time to time in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation upon
receipt of consideration sufficient to comply with the Articles of
Incorporation and subject to compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and applicable state
laws regulating the sale of securities. Such Shares, when so issued, will be
fully paid and non-assessable.

      I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as part of the
Corporation's registration statement referred to above and as a part of any
application or registration statement filed under the securities laws of the
States of the United States.

      The foregoing opinion is limited to the Federal laws of the United
States and the laws of the State of Maryland, and I am expressing no opinion
as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

                                          Very truly yours,

                                          /s/ Charles H. Field
