ITEM 4. OWNERSHIP: BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP BY THE TRUST: (a) Amount Beneficially Owned: 3,080,512(1) (as of 7/1/96) (b) Percent of Class: 6.1%(1) (as of 7/1/96) (c) Number of shares as to which such person has: (i) sole power to vote or to direct the vote ............... 0 (ii) shared power to vote or to direct the vote .............. 3,080,512(1) (iii) sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of ........................................ 3,080,512(1) (iv) shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of.. 0 BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP BY THE TRUSTEE: (a) Amount Beneficially Owned: 3,774,536(2) (as of 7/1/96) (b) Percent of Class: 7.5%(2) (as of 7/1/96) (c) Number of shares as to which such person has: (i) sole power to vote or to direct the vote ............... 0 (ii) shared power to vote or to direct the vote .............. 3,774,536(2) (iii) sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of .......................................... 3,774,536(2) (iv) shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of.. 0 __________________________ (1)Participants in the ESOP (the "ESOP participants") have the right to direct the Trustee in the voting of Common Stock and Series E ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock, $1.00 par value (the "Series E Preferred Stock"), allocated to their accounts on all matters required to be submitted to a vote of shareholders. The Series E Preferred Stock and the Common Stock vote together in one class on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. Each share of Series E Preferred Stock entitles the holder thereof to 1.25 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the Company. If no directions are received as to voting of allocated shares, the Trustee votes such shares in the same proportion as the allocated shares for which the Trustee receives directions from ESOP Participants. The unallocated shares of Common Stock and Series E Preferred Stock are also voted by the Trustee in the same proportion as the allocated shares for which the Trustee receives directions from ESOP Participants. Additionally, the Trustee has the authority to dispose of allocated and unallocated shares in its discretion. Because the Trustee has investment and voting discretion over allocated and unallocated shares under certain circumstances, such shares may be deemed beneficially owned by the Trust and the Trustee under such circumstances. Accordingly, the shares listed as beneficially owned by the Trust include: (a) 1,741,820 shares of Series E Preferred Stock (convertible into 1,741,820 shares of Common Stock) which are not allocated to the individual accounts of the ESOP participants; and, (b) 1,338,692 shares of Series E Preferred Stock (convertible into 1,338,692 shares of Common Stock) which are allocated to the accounts of the ESOP participants. The filing of this Schedule 13G, however, does not constitute, and shall not be construed as, an admission that the Trust is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Statement. (2)The shares listed as beneficially owned by the Trustee include: (i) 3,080,512 shares of Series E Preferred Stock held by the Trustee solely in its capacity as trustee of the Trust (see discussion in note 1 above) and (ii) 694,024 shares of Common Stock held by the Trustee in agency or fiduciary capacities unrelated to the Trust on behalf of certain participants in the Company's 401K Plan (the "401K Participants"). Such shares are voted as directed by the 401K Participants. If no directions are received from the 401K Participants, the Trustee vote such shares in the same proportion as the shares for which the Trustee receives directions from the 401K Participants. Because the Trustee has, under certain circumstances, investment and voting discretion over allocated and unallocated shares and over the shares of Common Stock held in agency or fiduciary capacities unrelated to the Trust, such shares may be deemed beneficially owned by the Trust and the Trustee under such circumstances. The filing of this Schedule 13G, however, does not constitute, and shall not be construed as, an admission that the Trustee is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Statement. ITEM 5. OWNERSHIP OF FIVE PERCENT OR LESS OF A CLASS: Not Applicable. ITEM 6. OWNERSHIP OF MORE THAN FIVE PERCENT ON BEHALF OF ANOTHER PERSON: Subject to the terms and conditions of the Trust and the ESOP, Trust participants are entitled to receive certain distributions or assets held by the Trust.

IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF THE SUBSIDIARY WHICH ACQUIRED THE SECURITY BEING REPORTED ON BY THE PARENT HOLDING COMPANY: Not Applicable. ITEM 8.
