SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
                                   Washington, D.C.

     Litigation Release No. 15616 / January 16, 1998

     SEC v. STRUTHERS INDUSTRIES, INC. and WINCO CORP., Misc. No. 97-305 (D.D.C.
     January 12, 1998)

          On January 12, 1998, Judge Thomas F. Hogan of the United States
     District for the District of Columbia found Struthers Industries, Inc. and
     WINCO Corp. in civil contempt of court for failing to obey the court s
     prior order enforcing the Securities and Exchange Commission s document
     subpoenas to the two companies. Struthers and WINCO are affiliated Los
     Angeles companies involved in seeking commercial applications for
     Interactive Video and Data Services and other Federal Communications
     Commission broadcast licenses. Judge Hogan ordered Struthers and WINCO to
     produce all documents responsive to the subpoenas by 10:30 a.m. on January
     13, 1998 (January 15 for any documents located in California), and to make
     their custodians of records available for testimony at the Commission s
     Washington, D.C. office by January 26, 1998. The court also ordered that
     both companies separately pay a fine of $1,000 per day for each day they
     fail to purge their contempt by complying with the court s order. Struthers
     produced documents to the Commission on January 12 shortly after the
     court s order was issued.

          Struthers  common stock is traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin
     Board. On January 9, 1998, the Commission suspended trading in Struthers 
     securities based on questions regarding the accuracy of certain statements
     and regarding material omissions in the company s public disclosures. In
     particular, the Commission s order noted questions concerning (1) the value
     of certain broadcast licenses in which Struthers claims to have an
     ownership interest, (2) the presence of or potential for a recapitalization
     which will enable Struthers to pursue its business plan, and (3) the
     resignation of Struthers  auditors.
