     Litigation Release No. 15532 / October 9, 1997

     Securities and Exchange Commission v. Atlantic Capital Corporation, Wall
     Street Marketing, Inc., Pullman Publications, Inc., Stephen DeCesare, Mark
     Missler, Patrick Kephart, Howard Jenkins, Scott Mijares, Robert Thomas
     Beatty, Vincent St. Clair Beatty, Michael Cardascia, David Scott Rossman,
     Adrian Wilson, Timothy B. Daley, and David M. Connochie (M.D. Fla.) No. 96-
     1043-CIV-ORL-19  

          The Commission announced today that five stock promoters, previously
     charged with paying kickbacks to brokers for selling certain securities to
     their clients, have settled the charges against them.  On September 27,
     1996, the Commission filed a Complaint in U.S. District Court for the
     Middle District of Florida alleging that a group of stock promoters engaged
     in an 18-month fraudulent scheme in which they paid $477,580 in bribes to
     seven stockbrokers to induce them to retail securities to the public.  The
     Complaint further alleged that the stock promoters issued promotional
     brochures concerning various public companies without disclosing that they
     were being paid by the companies to issue the brochures.  The Complaint
     alleges that the promoters netted approximately $2.6 million from the
     scheme.

          The settling stock promoters are:

          Steven DeCesare ("DeCesare"), age 36, of Longwood, Florida.

          Mark Missler ( Missler ), age 36, of Altamonte Springs, Florida.
      
          and three Florida corporations they controlled, Atlantic Capital
     Corporation ( Atlantic ),

          Wall Street Marketing, Inc. ( Wall Street ), and Pullman
          Publications, Inc.  ( Pullman ).

          DeCesare, Missler, Atlantic, Wall Street and Pullman consented,
     without admitting or denying the allegations in the Complaint, to the
     issuance of a Final Judgment by Judge Patricia C. Fawsett of the United
     States District Court for the Middle District of Florida enjoining each
     from future violations of Sections 17(a) and 17(b) of the Securities Act of
     1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-
     5.  Missler also consented to disgorge $200,000 of the profits he received
     from the scheme.  Disgorgement of the remainder of Missler s profits was
     waived, and a civil penalty not imposed, based on Missler s demonstrated
     inability to pay.  DeCesare s, Atlantic s, Wall Street s and Pullman s
     disgorgement of their profits from the scheme was waived, and civil
     penalties not imposed, based on each s demonstrated inability to pay.
