SIX PHYSICIANS ARE BARRED FROM GREENWICH HOSPITAL

Greenwich, Jan. S-Six physicians who have been barred from practis- ing major surgery in the Greenwich hospital are considering the advisa- bility of asking a town meeting to in Nestigate the matte~ immediately.
 They are Drs. A. G. Bennett. bac- teriologist of the Greenwich Health Department; Virgil c. P1atti, Ed ward O. Parker, William Burk, A. F. Hanlon and Edward A. Schnel1.
 The physicians privately are pro- testing that their exclusion - which, they say, was not for just cause-is an injustice in view of the fact that the hospital, costing s3O0,o00, was a gift to the town from Commodore F. c. Benedict, that the Commodore intended all physicians of the town to use it. and that it gets $25,000 a year from the state, $20.0O0 a year from the town budget and the income from a $40,e00 endowment fund.
