Fisk Group Scores
Misleading Data
On Sale Terms
Head of Stockholders
Committee Attacks
Davis Statement
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated fTeSS.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. Dec. 28.--
The amount of cash that Fisk Rub
ber Corp. stockholders would re-
ceive if they accepted an offer Of
the United States Rubber Co. to
purchase the Chicopee plant became
a matter of dispute last night.
Whitfield Reid, chairman OF a
Fisk common stockholders commit
tee opposing the sale at the proposed
terms, described AS misleading" a
statement issued in New York by F.
B. Davis, jr., United States Rubber
Co. president.
Reid, in a statement, said that
Davis "states that the present offer
of his company provides $6.75 in
cash for each share of Fisk common
stock plus one-fourth share of U. S.
Rubber common, which has book
value of S534 per one-quarter share.
IF this (Davis) statement is in
tended to convey the impression
that Fisk stockholders are guaran-
teed S6.75 per share in cash under
the proposed sale agreement, it is
greatly misleading"
Reid asserted that any cash pay
ment under the sale terms could
only be estimated at present, and
that there was no assurance as TO-
how much cash Fisk common stock
owners would receive after various
expenses were deducted from the
United States Rubber payment.
Therefore" Reid continued
United States Rubber is really
guaranteeing nothing except one
fourth share of its common stock,
which has not paid a dividend since
1921, for each share of Fisk COM
mon. Our committee believes that
under such circumstances, United
States Rubber should guarantee at
least one-half share of its common
stock for each share of Fisk, plus
the cash dividend, whatever that
finally may be-"
Davis said United States Rubber
had made its final offer for presen-
tation at Fisk stockholders meet
ing on December 49,
