Exhibit 4.2.2
                            AMENDMENT
                   DATED AS OF JANUARY 27, 1995
                                TO
                  CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
                  DATED AS OF NOVEMBER 30, 1992



     Reference is hereby made to that certain Credit and Security
Agreement ("Credit Agreement") dated as of November 30, 1992 among
Principal Mutual Life Insurance Company, Aetna Life Insurance
Company, The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company, Chemical
Bank, Seattle-First National Bank and Bank of America Oregon, and
WTD Industries, Inc. and its Affiliates and the Term Notes issued
by the Borrowers in connection with the Credit Agreement. 
Capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meaning ascribed
thereto in the Credit Agreement.

     The Term Note originally issued to Aetna Life Insurance
Company was split into two Notes which were sold to Franklin
Principal Maturity Trust ("Franklin") and Foothill Group, Inc.  The
Term Notes originally issued to Chemical Bank, Seattle-First
National Bank, and Bank of America Oregon were sold to Oppenheimer
& Co., Inc. ("Oppenheimer").
     
     Pursuant to that certain Offer to Purchase dated January 13,
1995, Borrowers purchased $708,391.93 original face amount
($653,537.53 current principal amount) of Franklin's Term Note and
$2,904,723.36 original face amount ($2,679,795.80 current principal
amount) of Oppenheimer's Term Notes. Borrowers thereupon issued to
Franklin and Oppenheimer  substitute Term Notes reflecting the new
principal amount owed to each after the purchase. Pursuant to the
terms of the Offer to Purchase, $3,613,115.29 aggregate original
face amount ($3,333,333.33 aggregate current principal amount) of
Term Notes was cancelled. The purchase and cancellation has the
effect of reducing the proportionate share of future scheduled
principal and interest payments for Franklin and Oppenheimer and
increasing the proportionate shares of each Lender who did not
participate in the Offer to Purchase. Accordingly, certain exhibits
to the Credit Agreement require amendment as follows:
     
     1.   Credit Agreement Exhibits 2.04(a) and 2.05(b) are hereby
restated in the form, respectively, of Exhibit 2.04(a) (Restated
01/27/95) and Exhibit 2.05(b) (Restated 01/27/95) attached hereto
and incorporated herein.

     2.   In all other respects, the Credit Agreement shall remain
unchanged and in full force and effect.
