Item 4.  Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

The Board of Directors of Registrant, at its meeting held on January 16, 1996,
and upon the prior recommendation of its Audit Committee, retained KPMG Peat
Marwick LLP, independent public accountants, to replace the firm of Deloitte &
Touche LLP as independent public accountants for Registrant, effective
January 16, 1996.

In connection with its audits for the years ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 
and in subsequent interim period preceding the engagement with KPMG Peat 
Marwick LLP, there have been no disagreements with Deloitte & Touche LLP on any 
matter of accounting principles or practices, financial 
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to 
the satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche LLP, would have been referred to in their 
report.

Deloitte & Touche LLP's report on the Registrant's financial statements for the 
years ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 contained no adverse opinion or 
disclaimer of opinion nor was it qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or 
accounting principles.

Registrant has requested that Deloitte & Touche LLP furnish Registrant with a
letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it 
agrees with the foregoing statements.  A copy of Deloitte & Touche LLP's letter
to the Securities and Exchange Commission is filed as an exhibit to this 
form 8-K.
