Kuwait bids for British

real

estate company


LONDON (A)-Kuwait, an oil-:
rich Persian Gulf sheikhdom,
made a multimillion dollar bid
yesterday for a British real
estate firm, the first Arab move
to buy a British company out-
right.
The Kuwait investment office'
offered $210.4 million for St.
Martin's Property Corp. Kuwait
already owns 8 per cent of the
firm's stock and is now bidding
for the other 92 per cent.
The bid sparked a rally for
real estate shares on the Lon-
don stock market where the sec-


4,


tor had been depressed by taxes
and other curbs on property
speculation.
The bid came from Noble Gos-
sart, a Scottish investment bank,
acting on behalf of the Kuwait
investment office, which has
operated in London for the past
20 years. It is part of the Ku-
wait Ministry of Finance and
handles the sheikhdom's grow-
ing oil revenues.
The offer topped an earlier bid
by Commercial Union, a British
insurance giant. Commercial
Union offered $166.5 million for
90 per cent of St. Martin's
shares. The company already
owns the other 10 per cent.
Kuwait made the bid on con-
dition it does not have to go
through the British Monopolies
Commission.
Financial sources explained
that merger agreements, before
they become final, have a clause
saying the deal is conditional on
approval by the Monopolies
Commission. This clause is of-
ten a mere formality and is
used even if the merger in-
volves firms worth only a few
thousand pounds.
Informants said the deletion
sought by Kuwait makes no dif-
ference as the Monopolies Com-
mission rarely moves in. In

cases involving British chemical
giants, shipping lines or indus-
tries manufacturing consumer
goods, the commission could in-
tervene, clause or no clause, to
prevent price-rigging by merged
groups.
Other Arab investors here in-
clude the government of Abu
Dbabi, which recently bought 44
per cent of the Commercial
Union skyscraper in the finan-
cial heart of London for about
$83.5 million.
Arabstakes in the British
economy are hard to pin down
because of secrecy surrounding
such operations.
The Persian Gulf sheikhdoms
are known to have been active
in the stock market, but their
operations have been spread out
to avoid the British requirement
that anyone buying 10 per cent
or more of a firm's shares must
declare it..
Numerous individual Arabs
have bought real estate and
equity in Britain, but they can-
not be traced sufficiently to
give an over-all picture.
Financial sources said the
Arabs are cautious about sink-
ing too much money in British
industry. They apparently fear
industrial firms might be na-
tionalized by the Labor govern-
ment.

Becoming a physician is a tremendous
satisfaction.
Let us give you the job satisfaction
that should go with it.

Whether you're still in medical school with the
rigors of three to five years of graduate medical edu-
cation still to be faced, or are already a practicing
physician, it's our opinion that the Air Force can
toffer both professional and personal satisfaction
hard to duplicate in civilian life.
An overstatement? Not if you consider the
specifics.
Take the problem of graduate medical educa-
tion. It's a period of your life the Air Force can make
considerably easier with comfortable salary and liv-
ing conditions.
Creature comforts aside, the Air Force offers
professional advantages. Besides receiving training
in your own specialty, you'd be in contact with
physicians in all of the medical specialties. You'll
function in an environment which is intellectually
stimulating and professionally challenging.
Not all physicians pursue post residency fellow-
ships. But if you are interested, the Air Force con-
ducts them both in-house and atcivilian institutions.
The physician already in practice can look for-
ward to other things. If you want training in the
practice of the medicine of the future, you'll find it
in the Air Force. For example, there's emphasis on
group medicine and preventive medicine, and the
growing specialty of "family physician." Whatever
your interest, there are few specialties which are not
being practiced in today's Air Force.

the Air Force does not. He finds his office established
for him. Supplies and equipment readily available.
He has many options available to him when treating
patients. For example, he can consult with Air Force
specialists. He also has referral to other Air Force
facilities via aeromedical evacuation. Last, but not
least, are the satisfactions that come with having
the opportunity for regular follow-ups, and a missed
appointment rate that is practically nil.
Whether you are already a physician, or soon to
become one, you might find it extremely interesting
to find out what the Air Force has to offer. We think
it could be awreal eye-opener. If you' 11 mail in the cou-
pon, we'd be happy to send you detailed information.

talks broke off Wednesday night.
Both teams expressed their de-
sire to begin negotiations at a
' public debate Thursday night,
and today's session is apparent-
ly an outgrowth of that feeling.
The AAEA was the first to
break the ice. It called mediator
Cadwell after the debate, but a
meeting could not be arranged
before today because of schedule
conflicts.
Association spokes w o m a n
Anne Harrell said last night that
"people are optimistic" about
a settlement. "We still have

board could not alter its basic
stands too far.
Both sides have reached un-
derstandings on what the board
considers the only contract
