Re: Post-Effective Amendment No. 94 (the "Amendment")
Dear Sirs:
As counsel for Washington Mutual Investors Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"), we are
familiar with the Fund's registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940
and with the registration statement relating to its Common Shares (the
"Shares") under the Securities Act of 1933 (File No. 2-11051) (the
"Registration Statement"). We also have examined such other corporate records,
agreements, documents and instruments as we deemed appropriate.
Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Shares being registered
pursuant to the Amendment will, when sold at the public offering price and
delivered by the Fund against receipt of the net asset value of the Shares in
accordance with the terms of the Registration Statement and the requirements of
applicable law, have been duly and validly authorized, legally and validly
issued, and fully paid and non-assessable.
We consent to the filing of this opinion in connection with the Amendment
which is filed pursuant to Section 24(e) under the Investment Company Act of
1940 on behalf of the Fund with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Very truly yours,
THOMPSON, O'DONNELL, MARKHAM

Re: Washington Mutual Investors Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") -
Post-Effective Amendment No. 94, File No. 2-11051
Gentlemen:
As counsel to the Fund, I represent pursuant to Rule 485(e) under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") that the Fund's Post-Effective Amendment No.
94 to its Registration Statement under the Act does not contain disclosures
which would render it ineligible to become effective pursuant to paragraph (b)
of that Rule.
Very truly yours,
