The  appointed  proxies  will vote on any other  business as may  properly  come
before the meeting or any adjournments thereof.

Holders  of  record of the  shares  of common  stock of the Fund at the close of
business  on  June  12,  1998  are  entitled  to  vote  at the  meeting  and any
adjournments thereof.


                                             By order of the Board of Directors,
                                             Thomas F. McDonough, Secretary

                                 PROXY STATEMENT
                                     GENERAL

     This Proxy  Statement is furnished in connection  with the  solicitation of
proxies by the Board of Directors of Scudder Global High Income Fund,  Inc. (the
"Fund") for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, to be held at the offices
of Scudder Kemper  Investments,  Inc. ("Scudder  Kemper"),  25th Floor, 345 Park
Avenue (at 51st Street), New York, New York 10154, on Tuesday,  July 28, 1998 at
11:00 a.m.,  Eastern time, and at any adjournments  thereof  (collectively,  the
"Meeting").

     This Proxy  Statement,  the Notice of Annual Meeting and the proxy card are
first being  mailed to  stockholders  on or about June 19,  1998,  or as soon as
practicable  thereafter.  Any stockholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke
it by mail (addressed to the Secretary at the principal  executive office of the
Fund, 345 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10154) or in person at the Meeting, by
executing a  superseding  proxy or by  submitting a notice of  revocation to the
Fund.  All properly  executed  proxies  received in time for the Meeting will be
voted as  specified  in the  proxy  or, if no  specification  is made,  for each
proposal referred to in the Proxy Statement.

     The  presence  at any  stockholders'  meeting,  in person  or by proxy,  of
stockholders  entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast shall
be  necessary  and  sufficient  to  constitute a quorum for the  transaction  of
business.  For purposes of determining  the presence of a quorum for transacting
business at the Meeting,  abstentions and broker  "non-votes" will be treated as
shares  that are present but which have not been  voted.  Broker  non-votes  are
proxies received by the Fund from brokers or nominees when the broker or nominee
has neither  received  instructions  from the beneficial  owner or other persons
entitled to vote nor has  discretionary  power to vote on a  particular  matter.
Accordingly,  stockholders  are  urged  to  forward  their  voting  instructions
promptly.

     Abstentions and broker  non-votes will not be counted in favor of, but will
have no other effect on, the vote for  proposals  (1) and (2) which  require the
approval of a majority of shares voting at the Meeting.

     Holders of record of the common  stock of the Fund at the close of business
on June 12, 1998 (the "Record Date"),  will be entitled to one vote per share on
all business of the Meeting and any adjournments. There were 9,759,063 shares of
common stock outstanding on the Record Date.

     The Fund provides  periodic  reports to all  stockholders  which  highlight
relevant  information,  including  investment  results and a review of portfolio
changes.  You may receive an additional copy of the annual report for the fiscal
year ended October 31, 1997, without charge, by calling  800-349-4281 or writing
the Fund at 345 Park Avenue,  New York, New York 10154. 

(1) ELECTION OF DIRECTOR

     Persons  named on the  accompanying  proxy card  intend,  in the absence of
contrary  instructions,  to vote all proxies for the election of the one nominee
listed  below as  Director  of the Fund to serve for a term of three  years,  or
until his successor is duly elected and qualified.  The nominee has consented to
stand for election and to serve if elected. If any such nominee should be unable
to  serve,  an event not now  anticipated,  the  proxies  will be voted for such
person, if any, as shall be designated by the Board of Directors to replace such
nominee.

*    Director  considered  by the  Fund  and its  counsel  to be an  "interested
     person"  [which  as used in  this  proxy  statement  is as  defined  in the
     Investment  Company Act of 1940, as amended,  (the "1940 Act")] of the Fund
     or of the Fund's investment manager,  Scudder Kemper Investments,  Inc. Mr.
     Birdsong is deemed to be an interested  person  because of his  affiliation
     with the Fund's investment manager,  Scudder Kemper  Investments,  Inc., or
     because he is an Officer of the Fund or both.

+    Messrs.  Birdsong and Lovejoy are members of the Executive Committee of the
     Fund.

(1)  The information as to beneficial ownership is based on statements furnished
     to the Fund by the Directors.  Unless otherwise noted, beneficial ownership
     is based on sole voting and investment power.


Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

     Section  16(a) of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  as amended,  and
Section  30(h) of the 1940  Act,  as  applied  to a fund,  requires  the  fund's
Officers  and  Directors,  Investment  Manager,  affiliates  of  the  Investment
Manager,  and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered
class  of the  fund's  outstanding  securities  ("reporting  persons"),  to file
reports of ownership of the fund's 


                                       6
<PAGE>

securities  and  changes in such  ownership  with the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission  (the  "SEC")  and The New York  Stock  Exchange.  Such  persons  are
required by SEC regulations to furnish the fund with copies of all such filings.

     Based  solely  upon its review of the copies of such forms  received by it,
and written  representations  from  certain  reporting  persons that no year-end
reports  were  required for those  persons,  the Fund  believes  that during the
fiscal year ended  October 31, 1997,  its  Reporting  Persons  complied with all
applicable  filing  requirements  except  that  a  Form 4 on  behalf  of  Robert
Callander was filed late. 

     To the best of the Fund's  knowledge,  as of March 31, 1998 no person owned
beneficially more than 5% of the Fund's outstanding stock.

Honorary Director

     Robert  J. Boyd  serves  an an  Honorary  Director  of the  Fund.  Honorary
Directors are invited to attend all Board  meetings and to  participate in Board
discussions,  but are not entitled to vote on any matter presented to the Board.
Mr. Boyd served as a Director of the Fund since 1992 and resigned from the Board
in 1997.

Committees of the Board--Board Meetings

     The Board of  Directors  of the Fund met seven times during the fiscal year
ended October 31, 1997.

     The Board of Directors, in addition to an Executive Committee, has an Audit

Executive  and  Valuation  Committees  consist  of  regular  members,   allowing
alternates.

Audit Committee

     The Board has an Audit Committee, consisting of those Directors who are not
interested persons of the Fund or of Scudder Kemper ("Noninterested  Directors")
as  defined in the 1940 Act,  which last met on  February  24,  1998.  The Audit
Committee reviews with management and the independent  accountants for the Fund,
among other things,  the scope of the audit and the controls of the Fund and its
agents,  reviews and  approves in advance the type of services to be rendered by
independent accountants, recommends the selection of independent accountants for
the Fund to the Board  and in  general  considers  and  reports  to the Board on
matters regarding the Fund's accounting and bookkeeping practices.

Committee on Independent Directors

     The  Board has a  Committee  on  Independent  Directors  consisting  of the
Noninterested  Directors.  The  Committee is charged with the duty of making all
nominations  for  Noninterested  Directors  and  consideration  of other related
matters. Stockholders' recommendations as to nominees received by management are
referred to the Committee for its consideration  and action.  The Committee last

with Scudder Kemper was $72,934,  including expenses,  for the fiscal year ended
October 31, 1997. Each such unaffiliated  Director currently receives fees, paid
by the Fund, of $750 per Directors'  meeting  attended and an annual  Director's
fee of $6,000.  Each Director also receives $250 per committee  meeting attended
(other  than audit  committee  meetings  and  meetings  held for the  purpose of

affiliate of the Investment  Manager,  for which such Director receives a fee of
$750).  Scudder Kemper supervises the Fund's investments,  pays the compensation
and certain expenses of its personnel who serve as Directors and Officers of the
Fund,  and receives a  management  fee for its  services.  Several of the Fund's
Officers and Directors are also

officers, directors, employees or stockholders of Scudder Kemper and participate
in the fees paid to that  firm (see  "Investment  Manager"),  although  the Fund
makes no direct payments to them other than for reimbursement of travel expenses
in connection with the attendance of Board of Directors and committee meetings.

Column (2)  Aggregate  compensation  received  by a  Director  from the Fund and
Scudder.  

Columns (3) and (4)  Pension or  retirement  benefits  accrued or proposed to be

Column (5) Total  compensation  received by a Director  from the Fund,  Scudder,
plus compensation  received from all funds managed by Scudder Kemper for which a

fund.
