Jewish members of the visiting medical staff of Kings County Hospital met Saturday night at the home of Dr. Philip Oginz at 861 St. Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, to consider the charges of three Jewish internes that they had been hazed and that patients had been discriminated agianst because of their faith.
Twenty-one members of the staff were invited to the meeting, but only ten appeared. It had been announced that a statement would be issued at the close of the conference.
After the meeting had been in progress it was announced that no statement would be made. The failure of all but ten of the Jewish physicians on the visiting staff to attend the meetwas interpreted as indicating their support of the hazed men.
