Item 3       THE PERSON FILING IS A:

             For Bankers Trust New York Corporation,

      (g)    [X] Parent Holding Company, in accordance with
                 Section 240.13d-1(b)(ii)(G)

             For Bankers Trust Company,

      (b)    [X] Bank as defined in section 3(a)(6) of the Act.

Item 4       OWNERSHIP:

      (a)    Amount Beneficially Owned:

             (i)   As of December 31, 1994, Bankers Trust Company,
             as Trustee for various trusts, and employee benefit
             plans, and investment advisor (the "Bank"), was the
             beneficial owner of 774,922 shares of common stock.  
             
             (ii)  It was also the record owner of 13,359,447
             shares held by the Bank as Trustee of the Northrop
             Corporation Employee Insurance Benefit Plans Master
             Trust (the "Plan") with respect to which the bank
             disclaims beneficial ownership.
                   The Plan states that each Plan participant shall
             have the right to direct the manner in which shares of
             common stock shall be voted at all stockholders'
             meetings.  The Department of Labor has expressed the
             view that, under certain circumstances, ERISA may
             require the Trustee to vote shares which are not
             allocated to participants' accounts and unvoted
             shares.  Since, in the view of the Bank and Bankers
             Trust New York Corporation, such voting power is
             merely a residual power based upon the occurrence of
             an unlikely contingency and is not a sole or shared
             power to vote the securities, the Bank and Bankers
             Trust New York Corporation hereby disclaim beneficial
             ownership of such securities.

                                                       5


             (b)  PERCENT OF CLASS:

             The common stock described in Item 4(a) above as to
             which the Bank acknowledges beneficial ownership
             constitutes 1.6% of the Issuer's outstanding Common
             Stock.  The Common Stock as to which the Bank
             disclaims beneficial ownership constitutes 28.7% of
             the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock.

             (c)  Number of shares as to which the Bank has:
                     (i)  sole power to vote or to direct the
                          vote - 447,934

                    (ii)  shared power to vote or to direct the 
                          vote - 0

                   (iii)  sole power to dispose or to direct the
                          disposition of - 774,922

                    (iv)  shared power to dispose or to direct    
                         the disposition of - 0

Item 5       OWNERSHIP OF FIVE PERCENT OR LESS OF A CLASS:

             [X]

Item 6       OWNERSHIP OF MORE THAN FIVE PERCENT ON BEHALF OF    
             ANOTHER PERSON:

             The Issuer's Plan, and various trusts, and employee
             benefit plan for which the Bank serves as Trustee, and
             accounts for which the Bank serves as investment
             advisor, have the right to receive and/or the power to
             direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds
             from the sale of, such securities.

Item 7       IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF THE SUBSIDIARY
             WHICH ACQUIRED THE SECURITY BEING REPORTED ON BY THE
             PARENT HOLDING COMPANY:
