Liz Taylor To
Make $10 Million
From 'Cleopatra'
New York - 0IPII - An an
nouncement that actress
Elizabeth Taylor can expect
to make nearly $10 million
from the film "Cleopatra'"
turned the normally staid an
nual stockholders' meeting of
the 20th Century-Fox Film
Corp. into a catcalling, whis
tling session Tuesday.
The announcement, made
by company president Darryl
F. Zanuck, also was greeted
by a demand from stockholder
Evelyn Davis for the person
responsible for the actress'
"ridiculously large contract."
"It was her going price,"
Zanuck explained.
Screaming Argument
Stockholder uioria rarKcr
got into a pushing, screaming
argument with Miss Davis
when Miss Parker suggested
that the film star be made a
member of the board of di
rectors because "this girl has
done a lot for our corpor
ation ..."
Zanuck, who directed the
$34 million film, promised
never to make a picture "as
costly as long as I am a mem
ber of the board or president
of the corporation." The vet
eran movie director wrested
control of the company iast
year from Spyros P. Skouras.
Nat Loss Reported
Zanuck reported a net loss
from the firm's operations
last year of $39,786,094. He
said 20th was starting to re
cover from these reverses and
showed earnings of $2,292,000
or 90 cents a share for the
first quarter of 1963.
"I will consider my job as
being successful only when
we have reached the point
where we are logically justi
fied in paying cash divi-
ripnrf.c " hn said.
Zanuck said Miss Taylors;
salary was $1,725,000, plus 10
per cent of the gross earnings
from the film. Richard Bur-:
ton, her co-star, got $250,000
plus overtime, he said. To
break even, the film will have ;
to earn a gross of $62 million,
Zanuck said. ;

Everest Climbers Heading for Top of Highest Mountain
Katmandu, Nepal - (UPD -
Two teams of American moun
tain climbers struck out to
wards the top of Mt. Everest,
the world's highest peak, from
the south and west sides today
in hopes of meeting at the
summit.
An official spokesman for
the expedition said there was
"high hopes for everybody."
But, he said, there was no
confirmation that anyone
actually had reached the peak
when last word was radioed
to Katmandu from the base
camp today.
Good News Hoped
Earlier, expedition spokes
man Daniel Doody had ra
dioed from the base camp on
the slopes of Everest that
chances of a team reaching
the summit by the previously
unexplored west ridge route
today were "very slim."
But he said "we hope for
good news" from a team at
tempting the better - known
south col, route.
Outcome of the double at
tempt may not be known un
til Thursday due to weather
and communications difficul
ties, he said.
Dr. William Unsoeld, 36,
Corvallis, Ore., and Dr. Thom
as F. Hornbein, 32, San Diego,
formed the west ridge assault
team which has been delayed

Doody said they appeared
to have 2,000 feet to go today
to reach the top of the 29,02a
foot peak, highest in tin
world. This appeared too
much for one day's climb.
Must Give Up ,
"They know they have to
give up in time to return to
the base camp by Saturday,"
he said. The expedition plans
to come down from the base
camp that day.
