Wickes Grabs For Pink Panther

Rebuffed by Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corp., which they attempted to acquire for $70 a share. Wickes Cos. launched a hostile $74 a share tender offer in midAugust and filed suit against the company.

The suit seeks to nullifo a shareholder rights plan in place at Owens-Corning. It also alleges that Owens-Corning directors breached their fiduciarv dutv to shareholders.

William W. Boeschenstein. chairman of Owens-Corning, has indicated that his company will fight against a takeover by Wickes and its chairman Sanford C. Sigoloff. Wall Street sources are not discounting the possibility ofa leveraged buyout by Owens management.

Wickes was unsuccessful in a previous attempt to acquire National Gypsum. The company reportedly has $1.5 billion in cash to spend on an acquisition. Informed spokesmen say that Owens-Corning, which has lower margins than its competitors, gives Sigoloff a chance to build his company. Owens made $131 million on sales of $3.3 billion last year.

TV Series Returns

Owens-Corning Fiberglas will underwriteThis Old House, the Emmy Awardwinning tv series on home remodeling, for the sixth consecutive year.

The program, which returns to the air on Oct. 4, is currently ranked as the most widely-watched half-hour ongoing show on PBS, with more than eight million weekly viewers.

Posner Co. Pays Legal Fees

Legal fees for Victor Posner, Miami Beach, Fl., industrialist and chairman of DWG Holding Co. (Evans Products Co., Moores and Lindsleys Home Centers), accused of tax evasion last month, have been reimbursed by Sharon Steel Corp., a publicly held company he controls, according to the company.

Convicted of evading $1.2 million in federal income taxes on his gift of 22 acres to Miami Christian College, Posner is slated to be sentenced Sept. 22. He faces up to 40 years in prison and a $75,000 fine. If his conviction is upheld on appeal, Posner must repay Sharon according to the arrangement.
