Item 25.  Persons controlled by or under Common Control with Registrant

          The registrant does not consider that there are any persons directly
          or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control
          with, the registrant within the meaning of this item. The information
          in the Statement of Additional Information under the caption
          "Directors and Officers" and "General Information -Ownership of
          Shares" and in the first two paragraphs under the caption "Investment

          Common Stock, $1 par                           3,255

Item 27.  Indemnification

          Section 2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law authorizes the
          registrant to indemnify its directors and officers under specified
          circumstances.

          Paragraph 5 of Article Seventh of the Articles of Incorporation of
          the registrant and Section 6 of Article VI of the by-laws of the
          registrant provide that the registrant shall indemnify its
          directors and officers under specified circumstances.

          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
          Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
          controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
          provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the
          opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification
          is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
          unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
          such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
          incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
          registrant in the successful defense of any action suit or proceeding)
          is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
          connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will,
          unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
          controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
          the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
          policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
          adjudication of such issue.
