MANAGER'S LETTER
JUNE 30, 2000


Dear Shareholder:

This report relates to the operation of the Waddell & Reed Advisors
International Growth Fund, Inc. for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000.  The
following discussion, graphs and tables provide you with information regarding
the Fund's performance during that period.

We have seen strong, global economic growth over the last year, due largely to
political reform and corporate restructuring around the world.  Most emerging
economies have recovered to 1998 pre-crisis levels.  European recoveries have
broadened and accelerated.  Japan's progress remains very slow, but corporate
reform has begun.  Despite continued moderate core inflation, most major central
banks have raised interest rates to help manage this rapid global growth.  Some
modest economic slowing may now be occurring in the U.S., Canada and Great
Britain.

Early in 2000, global financial markets refocused on the dynamic technology
sector and the tremendous demand being created for new and innovative products.
This sector was responsible for much of the tremendous stock market gains seen
during the past fiscal year.  In recent months, sector rotation has shifted
market attention back-and-forth between high-tech and basic industry, as
valuations and earnings have been scrutinized.  Recently, a new wrinkle has
emerged in global financial markets:  energy prices have increased, with the
duration and impact of the increase still in question.

Through most of this fiscal year, our focus has been in high-tech consumer and
business services, primarily in European markets.  These selections produced
solid returns for the year, despite recent periods of volatility.  Early in 2000
we took profit on some of our larger high-tech positions and broadened our
industry diversification.  We expanded our exposure to domestic European markets
as those economies enjoyed stronger growth.  Japanese exposure was reduced
slightly in response to increased political malaise and stalled reforms.

In managing this portfolio, we continue to focus on the broad, secular themes
that have been so dominating and profitable over the last few years.  We believe
the combination of a broad, single European market and the changing global
technology scene still provides enormous opportunities for investment.  We also
believe these broad themes should continue to flourish, but may be interrupted
periodically as financial markets raise concerns for higher global interest
rates and other obstacles, such as higher energy prices.

The strategies and techniques we have employed resulted in the Fund
significantly outperforming its benchmark indices over the last 12 months.  The
Class A shares of the Fund's one-year return reached 31.41 percent, as
contrasted with the Lipper International Funds Universe Average (the index that
generally reflects the performance of the universe of funds with similar
investment objectives), with an annual return of 24.48 percent, and the Morgan
Stanley Capital International E.A.FE. Index (Europe, Australia, Far East - the
index that generally reflects the performance of the international securities
markets), at 17.16 percent.  We continued to benefit from our significant
overweight position in high-tech consumer and business services, most notably in
Continental Europe and Sweden.

Later this calendar year we could see global economic growth slow slightly from
its current rapid pace, especially in the U.S., to a more moderate level that
could allow interest rates to flatten.  By then we should have more evidence on
the outlook for global energy prices and their impact on global economies.

When these issues are no longer obstacles, foreign markets should refocus on the
positive, long-term themes of reform and restructuring.  We believe that, longer
term, healthy economic growth and moderate inflation should continue to provide
an ideal atmosphere for global investing.

We intend to maintain our current defensive posture until we have clear signs
regarding the extent of higher global interest rates and cost pressures from
high energy prices.  As always, we will closely monitor global developments and
attempt to respond quickly to any change in investment opportunities.  Thank you
for the opportunity to serve your investment needs and for your ongoing
commitment to the Waddell & Reed Advisors International Growth Fund.

Sincerely,


Thomas Mengel
Manager, Waddell & Reed Advisors International Growth Fund, Inc.

WADDELL & REED ADVISORS INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2000

NOTE 1 -- Significant Accounting Policies

     Waddell & Reed Advisors International Growth Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"),
formerly United International Growth Fund, Inc., is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment
company.  Its investment objective is the long-term appreciation of your
investment.  Realization of income is a secondary goal.  The following is a
summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in
the preparation of its financial statements.  The policies are in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

A.   Security valuation -- Each stock and convertible bond is valued at the
     latest sale price thereof on the last business day of the fiscal period as
     reported by the principal securities exchange on which the issue is traded
     or, if no sale is reported for a stock, the average of the latest bid and
     asked prices.  Bonds, other than convertible bonds, are valued using a
     pricing system provided by a pricing service or dealer in bonds.
     Convertible bonds are valued using this pricing system only on days when
     there is no sale reported.  Stocks which are traded over-the-counter are
     priced using the Nasdaq Stock Market, which provides information on bid and
     asked prices quoted by major dealers in such stocks.  Securities for which
     quotations are not readily available are valued as determined in good faith
     in accordance with procedures established by and under the general
     supervision of the Fund's Board of Directors.  Short-term debt securities
     are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market.

B.   Security transactions and related investment income -- Security
     transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or
     sell is executed).  Securities gains and losses are calculated on the
     identified cost basis.  Original issue discount (as defined in the Internal
     Revenue Code), premiums on the purchase of bonds and post-1984 market
     discount are amortized for both financial and tax reporting purposes.
     Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except that certain
     dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Fund is
     informed of the ex-dividend date.  Interest income is recorded on the
     accrual basis.  See Note 3 -- Investment Securities Transactions.

C.   Foreign currency translations -- All assets and liabilities denominated in
     foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars daily.  Purchases and
     sales of investment securities and accruals of income and expenses are
     translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the
     transaction.  For assets and liabilities other than investments in
     securities, net realized and unrealized gains and losses from foreign
     currency translations arise from changes in currency exchange rates.  The
     Fund combines fluctuations from currency exchange rates and fluctuations in
     market value when computing net realized and unrealized gain or loss from
     investments.

D.   Forward foreign currency exchange contracts -- A forward foreign currency
     exchange contract (Forward Contract) is an obligation to purchase or sell a
     specific currency at a future date at a fixed price.  Forward Contracts are
     "marked-to-market" daily at the applicable translation rates and the
     resulting unrealized gains or losses are reflected in the Fund's financial
     statements.  Gains or losses are realized by the Fund at the time the
     forward contract is extinguished.  Contracts may be extinguished either by
     entry into a closing transaction or by delivery of the currency.  Risks may
     arise from the possibility that the other party will not complete the
     obligations of the contract and from unanticipated movements in the value
     of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.  The Fund uses forward
     contracts to attempt to reduce the overall risk of its investments.

E.   Federal income taxes -- It is the Fund's policy to distribute all of its
     taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify
     as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal
     Revenue Code.  In addition, the Fund intends to pay distributions as
     required to avoid imposition of excise tax.  Accordingly, provision has not
     been made for Federal income taxes.  See Note 4 -- Federal Income Tax
     Matters.

F.   Dividends and distributions -- Dividends and distributions to shareholders
     are recorded by the Fund on the business day following record date.  Net
     investment income dividends and capital gains distributions are determined
     in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting
     principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  These
     differences are due to differing treatments for items such as deferral of
     wash sales and post-October losses, foreign currency transactions, net
     operating losses and expiring capital loss carryovers.  At June 30, 2000,
     $5,506,268 was reclassified between accumulated undistributed net
     investment income and accumulated undistributed net realized gain on
     investment transactions.  Net investment income, net realized gains and net
     assets were not affected by this change.

     The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements.  Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

NOTE 2 -- Investment Management and Payments to Affiliated Persons

     The Fund pays a fee for investment management services.  The fee is
computed daily based on the net asset value at the close of business. The fee is
payable by the Fund at the annual rates of: 0.85% of net assets up to $1
billion, 0.83% of net assets over $1 billion and up to $2 billion, 0.80% of net
assets over $2 billion and up to $3 billion, and 0.76% of net assets over $3
billion. The Fund accrues and pays this fee daily.

     Pursuant to assignment of the Investment Management Agreement between the
Fund and Waddell & Reed, Inc. ("W&R"), Waddell & Reed Investment Management
Company ("WRIMCO"), a wholly owned subsidiary of W&R, serves as the Fund's
investment manager.

     The Fund has an Accounting Services Agreement with Waddell & Reed Services
Company ("WARSCO"), a wholly owned subsidiary of W&R.  Under the agreement,
WARSCO acts as the agent in providing accounting services and assistance to the
Fund and pricing daily the value of shares of the Fund.  For these services, the
Fund pays WARSCO a monthly fee of one-twelfth of the annual fee shown in the
following table.

                            Accounting Services Fee
                   Average
                Net Asset Level           Annual Fee
          (all dollars in millions) Rate for Each Level
          ------------------------- -------------------
           From $    0 to $   10           $      0
           From $   10 to $   25           $ 10,000
           From $   25 to $   50           $ 20,000
           From $   50 to $  100           $ 30,000
           From $  100 to $  200           $ 40,000
           From $  200 to $  350           $ 50,000
           From $  350 to $  550           $ 60,000
           From $  550 to $  750           $ 70,000
           From $  750 to $1,000           $ 85,000
                $1,000 and Over            $100,000

     For Class A, Class B and Class C shares, the Fund pays WARSCO a monthly per
account charge for transfer agency and dividend disbursement services of $1.3125
for each shareholder account which was in existence at any time during the prior
month, plus $0.30 for each account on which a dividend or distribution of cash
or shares had a record date in that month.  With respect to Class Y shares, the
Fund pays WARSCO a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily
net assets of the class for the preceding month.  The Fund also reimburses W&R
and WARSCO for certain out-of-pocket costs.

     As principal underwriter for the Fund's shares, W&R received gross sales
commissions for Class A shares (which are not an expense of the Fund) of
$3,303,319.  During the period ended June 30, 2000, W&R received $5,373 and
$1,388 in deferred sales charges for Class B and Class C shares, respectively.
With respect to Class A, Class B and Class C shares, W&R paid sales commissions
of $2,675,817 and all expenses in connection with the sale of Fund shares,
except for registration fees and related expenses.

     Under a Distribution and Service Plan for Class A shares adopted by the
Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Fund
may pay monthly a distribution and/or service fee to W&R in an amount not to
exceed 0.25% of the Fund's Class A average annual net assets.  The fee is to be
paid to reimburse W&R for amounts it expends in connection with the distribution
of the Class A shares and/or provision of personal services to Fund shareholders
and/or maintenance of shareholder accounts.

     Under the Distribution and Service Plan adopted by the Fund for Class B and
Class C shares, respectively, the Fund may pay W&R, on an annual basis, a
service fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the class to
compensate W&R for providing services to shareholders of that class and/or
maintaining shareholder accounts for that class and a distribution fee of up to
0.75% of the average daily net assets of the class to compensate W&R for
distributing the shares of that class.  The Class B Plan and the Class C Plan
each permit W&R to receive compensation, through the distribution and service
fee, respectively, for its distribution activities for that class, which are
similar to the distribution activities described with respect to the Class A
Plan, and for its activities in providing personal services to shareholders of
that class and/or maintaining shareholder accounts of that class, which are
similar to the corresponding activities for which it is entitled to
reimbursement under the Class A Plan.

     The Fund paid Directors' fees of $50,840, which are included in other
expenses.

     W&R is a subsidiary of Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc., a holding company,
and a direct subsidiary of Waddell & Reed Financial Services, Inc., a holding
company.

NOTE 3 -- Investment Securities Transactions

     Purchases of investment securities, other than short-term securities and
U.S. Government obligations, aggregated $1,674,749,280 while proceeds from
maturities and sales aggregated $1,907,434,333.  Purchases of short-term
securities aggregated $5,469,127,069 while proceeds from maturities and sales
aggregated $5,221,076,980.  No U.S. Government obligations were purchased or
sold during the period.

     For Federal income tax purposes, cost of investments owned at June 30, 2000
was $1,450,669,701, resulting in net unrealized appreciation of $267,383,920, of
which $395,990,198 related to appreciated securities and $128,606,278 related to
depreciated securities.

NOTE 4 -- Federal Income Tax Matters

     For Federal income tax purposes, the Fund realized capital gain net income
of $420,378,887 during its fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, of which was paid to
shareholders during the period ended June 30, 2000.  Remaining capital gain net
income will be distributed to the Fund's shareholders.

NOTE 5 -- Multiclass Operations

     The Fund is authorized to offer four classes of shares, Class A, Class B,
Class C and Class Y, each of which have equal rights as to assets and voting
privileges.  Class Y shares are not subject to a sales charge on purchases, are
not subject to a Rule 12b-1 Distribution and Service Plan and are subject to a
separate transfer agency and dividend disbursement services fee structure.  A
comprehensive discussion of the terms under which shares of each class are
offered is contained in the Prospectus and the Statement of Additional
Information for the Fund.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders,
Waddell & Reed Advisors International Growth Fund, Inc.:


We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the schedule of investments, of Waddell & Reed Advisors International Growth
Fund, Inc. (formerly United International Growth Fund, Inc.) (the "Fund") as of
June 30, 2000, and the related statement of operations for the fiscal year then
ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two fiscal years
in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five
fiscal years in the period then ended.  These financial statements and the
financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the
financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements and the financial highlights are free of material misstatement.  An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements.  Our procedures included confirmation
of securities owned as of June 30, 2000, by correspondence with the custodian.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Waddell & Reed Advisors International Growth Fund, Inc. as of June 30, 2000, the
results of its operations for the fiscal year then ended, the changes in its net
assets for each of the two fiscal years in the period then ended, and the
financial highlights for each of the five fiscal years in the period then ended,
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.
