Head Matter:
Edith Carvainis et al., Plaintiffs, v. Montefiore Hospital for Chronic Diseases et al., Defendants. Mortimer L. Mark et al., Appellants, and Philip Glotzer, Respondent.

Opinion:
Order so far as appealed from unanimously affirmed, without costs. As we construe the third-party complaint the third-party plaintiff could be found guilty merely of secondary negligence whereas the third-party defendant could be found guilty of primary negligence. In the circumstances the third-party complaint should not be dismissed. Concur-— Breitel, J. P., Rabin, M. M. Frank, McNally and Stevens, JJ.
