                          SCHEDULE 13D
                       (Amendment No. 16)

     NOTE:  All capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 16
and not defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the
statement of Saad A. Alissa on Schedule 13D dated August 31,
1994, as amended through the date hereof.  Except as expressly
stated below, there have been no material changes in the
information contained in such Schedule 13D, as amended.

Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction

     In February 1997, Ralph A. Rockow, Robert T. Craig and
William B. Danzell each agreed to act with each other and Saad A.
Alissa as members of the Shareholders' Committee to Remove
Entrenched and Arrogant Management ("SCREAM") for the purpose of
soliciting proxies to be used in connection with the 1997 annual
meeting of shareholders (the "Annual Meeting") of Talley
Industries, Inc. (the "Company"), and therefore, the members or
SCREAM may have been deemed to have formed a group for purposes
of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and the rules thereunder.

     On April 16, 1997, the members of SCREAM filed SCREAM'S
definitive proxy materials nominating Mr. Robert T. Craig and
Ralph A. Rockow for election to the Board of Directors, and
recommending that the Board of Directors of the Company: (i) act
to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to eliminate the
staggered Board of Directors, (ii) act to amend the Certificate
of Incorpration and Bylaws to permit holders of ten percent (10%)
or more of the Company's voting stock to call special meetings,
(iii) undertake a thorough review of the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws for the purpose of identifying and
removing those provisions that limit stockholder participation
and (iv) either (a) eliminate the Company's shareholder rights
plan or (b) submit to a binding vote of stockholders the question
of whether to retain or eliminate such shareholder's rights plan.

     On May 8, 1997, at the Annual Meeting, the Company's
stockholders elected Ralph A. Rockow and Robert T. Craig to the Board
of Directors and voted in favor of all of SCREAM's proposals.  As of

<PAGE>
CUSIP No. 874687106                               Page 10 of 12

the date of the Annual Meeting, Messrs. Rockow and Craig no
longer are members of SCREAM, whose proxy soliciting purpose has
been fulfilled.  As a result, the shares owned by Mr. Alissa,
Abdullatif Ali Alissa Est. (the "Establishment"), Financial
Investors Limited ("FIL"), and General Investors Limited ("GIL")
and Mr. Danzell shall be the only securities owned by parties to
this Schedule 13D who shall have a continuing reporting
obligation regarding Schedule 13D.

     Mr. Alissa, the Establishment, FIL and GIL expressly
disclaim beneficial ownership of any securities held by Mr.
Danzell and Mr. Danzell expressly disclaims beneficial ownership
of any securities held by Mr. Alissa, the Establishment, FIL and
GIL.

     Except for the foregoing developments, the persons filing
this amendment to Schedule 13D do not have any current plan or
proposal which relates to or would result in any of the following
actions, however, Mr. Alissa and Mr. Danzell will continue to
monitor the activities of the current Board of Directors to
ensure that the Company is operated for the benefit of the
shareholders, and will continue to evaluate the Company's
business prospects and financial condition, the market for the
Company's Common Stock, other opportunities available to Mr.
Alissa and Mr. Danzell, general economic conditions and other
factors, and may formulate plans or proposals which could relate
to or result in one or more such actions, which consist of the
following:

          (a)  the acquisition by any person of additional
securities of the Company, or the disposition of securities of
the Company, except as otherwise contemplated by this Schedule
13D, as amended;

          (b)  an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a
merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or
any of its subsidiaries;

          (c)  a sale or transfer of a material amount of the
assets of the Company or of any of its subsidiaries;


<PAGE>
CUSIP No. 874687106                               Page 11 of 12

          (d)  any change in the present Board of Directors or
management of the Company, including plans or proposals to change
the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies
on the Board;

          (e)  any material change in the present capitalization
or dividend policy of the Company;

          (f)  any other material change in the Company's
business or corporate structure;

          (g)  changes in the Company's Charter, Bylaws or
instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may
impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any person;

          (h)  causing a class of securities of the Company to be
delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be
authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a
registered national securities association;

          (i)  a class of equity securities of the Company becoming
eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or

          (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated
above.

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer

     There has been no change in the beneficial ownership of the
Company's securities by the persons filing this amendment to Schedule
13D during the past sixty days.

Item 7.   Material to be Filed as Exhibits.
