disclosure of the following by a press release for immediate
release:

     Stamford, Connecticut, January 4, 1994 --- Lone Star
     Industries,Inc.(NYSE/LCE) said today that a preliminary
     tally of the ballots voting on the Company's Plan of
     Reorganization indicated that all parties in interest in the
     bankruptcy proceedings had voted overwhelmingly in favor of
     the Plan.  The preliminary count indicates that holders of

     dollars voting); $443 million of  Unsecured Claims (95% of
     total dollars voting); approximately 379 thousand shares of

     million shares of Common Stock (79% of shares voting) had
     voted for the Plan of Reorganization.

     The Bankruptcy Court responsible for Lone Star's Chapter 11
     proceedings has set February 9, 1994 as the date for a
     confirmation hearing on the Company's Plan.  A hearing to
     consider the adequacy of a disclosure statement relating to
     a plan of reorganization proposed by the common stock
     representatives of the Official Committee of Equity Holders
     is scheduled for January 10, 1994.  Objection to the Equity
     Committee Disclosure Statement have been filed by the major
     constituencies involved in the Lone Star Bankruptcy.  Both
     hearings will be held before the Honorable Judge Tina L.
     Brozman in the United States Bankruptcy Court at Bowling
     Green in New York City.
