FOX stockholders
IN NEW STATEMENT
Committee ReasSured by
Report of Company's Finan-
CiaI Position.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. January 3.-The pro-
tective committee of class A stock
holders of the Fox Film Corporation
today issued an additional statement,
expressing satisfaction with William
Fox'S disclosure as to assets and earn
ings, making no further reference to
contemplated receivership action.
Mr.. Fox'S statement, indicating as
sets above liabilities of $4,000, 900, and
earnings for 1929 of $19,000,00O, was
described as 'reaSsuring," but it was
added that the committee is seeking to
obtain more detailed figures
The willingness of Mr. Fox for the
first time since the company's diff
culties to make public these figures"
the committee stated, indicates that
the committees activities are having
the desired effect. In so far as class
A stockholders are concerned, the pres
ent situation will be relieved at the next
annual meeting of the company, when,
in the opinion of counsel for this COM
mittee, the class A stock will have
direct representation by the election of
directors"
AS only $3,6oo,O0O is needed to con-
tinue class A dividends, and indicated
earnings for 1880 will at least equal
those of 1929, the committee predicted
that refinancing would not meet with
any unsurmountable difficulties.

income for the II months is OF $685.
