Makes Plea

NEW YORK, July 10 (AP).
Actress Elizabeth Taylor
and her singer-husband,
Eddie Fisher. fly to London
today en- route to the Moscow
film festival.
The couple flew to New
York last night from Los An
geles. Miss Taylor gave a
dramatic account of her jour-
ney to deaths portal at a
hospital Embarrassing dinner
in Beverly Hills Saturday
night.
Recounting her battle
against pneumonia last March
in a London clinic, she told
the dinner gathering:
Suddenly thousands Of
voices seemed to be crying
within me, and it must have
been death because I cannot
describe q greater loneliness
than what I felt"
Then, she said, she felt
the hands of doctors and
nurses-"large rough hands,
gentle hands which forced me
to respond. Then came voices,
loud voices, harsh voices and
. pleading voices. They cajoled
me. They commanded me to
breathe ana then I
coughed and moved, and I
was alive again."
Contributions at the dinner
amounted to almost seven
million dollarS-three million
more than the most opti-
mistic sponsor had antici-
pated.
Miss Taylor read her dra-
matte speech at the dinner to
help raise $40 million for the
medical center of cedars Of
Lebanon and Mt. Sinai hos
pitfalls, recently merged.
Among those present were
Atny. Gen. Robert F. Ken
