ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS


     On June 10, 1996, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
reversed and vacated the September 28, 1994 decision of the Federal Trade
Commission ("FTC"), in which the FTC had ordered the divestiture of Dr Pepper
licenses for a ten-county area around and including San Antonio, Texas held by
Coca-Cola Bottling Company of the Southwest ("San Antonio Coke"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Registrant.   The Court of Appeals ruled that the FTC had
applied the wrong legal standard and remanded the case to the FTC for further
proceedings consistent with the new standard, noting that San Antonio Coke had
made a "strong" argument that the previous findings already established the
legality of San Antonio Coke's receipt of the licenses.  San Antonio Coke will
continue to defend its Dr Pepper licenses in the San Antonio area and related
businesses through any further proceedings.  Further background information on
this matter is set forth in the Registrant's annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ending December 31, 1995.
