                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Audit/Finance Committee of The Board of Directors and
        The Pension and Insurance Committee
The Durion Company, Inc.
        Savings and Thrift Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of The Durion Company, Inc. Savings and Thrift Plan as of December 31,
1993 and 1992, and the related statements of changes in net assets available
for benefits for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's administrator.  Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedule of assets held for
investment purposes as of December 31, 1993 and schedule of reportable
transactions for the year then ended are presented for the purpose of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements, but are supplementary information required by the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental schedules have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
