, Jr., chairman, president and chief executive officer, said, "Looking forward, fourth quarter results are expected to improve from the third quarter but not meet the level of the 1994 fourth quarter. This will result in full-year 1995 earnings per share (excluding the special charge) declining slightly from 1994, with disappointing Automotive segment results more than offsetting the improved performances in the Aerospace/Government and Industrial segments."

Mr. Guffey said, "Results for 1996 are anticipated to be substantially unchanged from the 1995 level with the effects of continued competitive pricing pressures and sluggish demand in the automotive original equipment market offsetting continued strength in both in the Aerospace/Government and Industrial segments."

The effective income tax rate in the third quarter of 1995 was 35% compared with 36% last year. Net interest expense increased 2% in the 1995 third quarter reflecting higher interest rates.

For the nine months of 1995, earnings per share before extraordinary item were 96 cents, excluding the special charge. This compared with 98 cents per share in 1994. Operating income for the nine months of 1995 was $170.6 million, excluding the special charge, compared with $173.2 million in 1994. Sales for the nine months of 1995 were $1,050.0 million compared with $986.4 million a year ago.

    Operating income for the third quarter of 1995 included a
special charge of $27.0 million.  This charge included $23.4 million
in the Aerospace/Government segment and $3.6 million in Corporate
Unallocated.  Excluding this charge, third quarter and nine months
of 1995 operating income for the Aerospace/Government segment would
have been $18.5 million and $50.4 million, respectively;
and for the total company, $52.1 and $170.6 million, respectively.
    Excluding the special charge, divisions in the Aerospace/
Government segment serving the aerospace market reported a
9% increase in operating income and a 10% increase in sales.
However, the segment's operating margin was impacted by continued
start-up costs on the Alco engine product line at Fairbanks Morse
Engine.  The Automotive segment was impacted by the adverse pricing
environment and decline in demand.  Operating results in the
Industrial segment were higher on improved market conditions and new
product introductions.  Third quarter sales and earnings gains were
reported by Quincy Compressor, Garlock Bearings, Garlock Mechanical
Packing, Delavan Commercial Products, France Compressor Products and
Garlock Valves & Industrial Plastics.
