PRESIDENT'S LETTER
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
MARCH 31, 1994


Dear Shareholder:

     This report covers the investment performance of your Fund for the six
months ended March 31, 1994.

     During the past six months, bond and equity markets have experienced
considerable fluctuations due to increases in interest rates and other economic
developments.  These markets will continue to react to events that affect the
economy such as actions on health care proposals and many other issues.

     We are hoping to see improved economies throughout the world over the next
year.  We believe this would contribute to a favorable outlook for U.S. and
foreign securities.

     Regardless of the rise and decline of markets, we will continue to use the
strengths and abilities we have developed over the past 55 years.  These
include:

     Professional portfolio management-- As investment professionals, we pay
careful attention to economic trends; we understand the business of each company
in which we invest; and we have the ability to judge the management of such
companies as they adapt to changes in the industries and markets they serve.

     A widely diversified approach-- Our extensive experience managing a variety
of securities allows us to see the whole "investment pie."  We use this broad
view to consider every investment opportunity available that meets your Fund's
objectives, and to take advantage of these opportunities in an effort to achieve
maximum return.

     These are just two of the many attributes that we bring to the table when
making investment decisions.  We believe your Fund is designed appropriately to
meet its investment objectives, and can reward the long-term investor.  We never
forget that we are managing your money.

     The following is a comprehensive look at your Fund's recent performance.
We believe you will find that the information continues to reflect our aim of
meeting the stated objectives of your Fund.



Respectfully,
Keith A. Tucker
President

UNITED MUNICIPAL HIGH INCOME FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1994

NOTE 1 -- Significant Accounting Policies

     United Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management
investment company.  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 generally accepted accounting
principles.

A.   Security valuation -- Municipal bonds and the taxable obligations in the
     Fund's investment portfolio are not listed or traded on any securities
     exchange.  Therefore, municipal bonds are valued using prices quoted by
     Muller and Company, a dealer in bonds which offers a pricing service.
     Short-term debt securities, whether taxable or nontaxable, 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 by the Internal
     Revenue Code) and premiums on the purchase of bonds are amortized for both
     financial and tax reporting purposes over the remaining lives of the bonds.
     Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.  See Note 3 -- Investment
     Security Transactions.

C.   Federal income taxes -- The Fund intends to distribute all of its net
     investment income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise
     qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code.
     The Fund intends to pay distributions as required to avoid imposition of
     excise tax.  Accordingly, provision has not been made for Federal income
     taxes.  In addition, the Fund intends to meet requirements of the Internal
     Revenue Code which will permit it to pay dividends from net investment
     income, substantially all of which will be exempt from Federal income tax.
     See Note 4 -- Federal Income Tax Matters.

D.   Dividends and distributions -- All of the Fund's net investment income is
     declared and recorded by the Fund as dividends payable on each day to
     shareholders of record at the time of the previous determination of net
     asset value.  During the period ended March 31, 1994, the Fund adopted
     Statement of Position 93-2 Determination, Disclosure, and Financial
     Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain, and Return of Capital
     Distributions by Investment Companies.  Accordingly, permanent book and tax
     basis differences relating to future shareholder distributions have been
     reclassified to additional paid-in capital.  As of October 1, 1993, the
     cumulative effect of such differences totaling $1,050 was reclassified from
     accumulated undistributed net realized gain on investment transactions to
     additional paid-in capital.  Net investment income, net realized gains and
     net assets were not affected by this change.

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
consists of two elements: (i) a "Specific" fee computed on net asset value as of
the close of business each day at the annual rate of .10% of net assets and (ii)
a "Group" fee computed each day on the combined net asset values of all of the
funds in the United Group of mutual funds (approximately $10.9 billion of
combined net assets at March 31, 1994) at annual rates of .51% of the first $750
million of combined net assets, .49% on that amount between $750 million and
$1.5 billion, .47% between $1.5 billion and $2.25 billion, .45% between $2.25
billion and $3 billion, .43% between $3 billion and $3.75 billion, .40% between
$3.75 billion and $7.5 billion, .38% between $7.5 billion and $12 billion, and
.36% of that amount over $12 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.

           From $  750 to $1,000           $ 85,000
                $1,000 and Over            $100,000

     The Fund also pays WARSCO a monthly per account charge for transfer agency
and dividend disbursement services of $1.0208 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 was paid in that 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 direct and
indirect gross sales commissions (which are not an expense of the Fund) of
$897,300, out of which W&R paid sales commissions of $504,391 and all expenses
in connection with the sale of Fund shares, except for registration fees and
related expenses.

     Effective October 1, 1993, the Fund adopted a 12b-1 Service Plan with a
maximum fee of .25%

     The Fund paid Directors' fees of $6,189.

     W&R is an indirect subsidiary of Torchmark Corporation, a holding company,
and United Investors Management Company, a holding company, and a direct
subsidiary of Waddell & Reed Financial Services, Inc., a holding company.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
  United Municipal High Income Fund, Inc.


In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of United Municipal High Income Fund,
Inc. (the "Fund") at March 31, 1994, the results of its operations for the six
months then ended and the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights
for the periods indicated, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.  These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter
referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.  We conducted our audits of these financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits, which included
confirmation of securities at March 31, 1994 by correspondence with the
custodian and brokers and the application of alternative auditing procedures
where confirmations from brokers were not received, provide a reasonable basis
for the opinion expressed above.
