Compromise Bi,,in95Free Seen in Ideal Staff Choice # A compromise solution to the Ideal hospital situation, in which some adjustment of the active staff may be effected which is agreeable to both sides, was seen today as the possible outcome of the five-liour session at the hos pital last night, in which Village board, hospital Board of Manag ers and six physicians aired the entire issue.

The \case\ of both the private physicians, and those affiliated with the Endicott Johnson Corp. medical department was present ed to the conference by three physicians from each group. Dr. Frank_G. Moore, Dr. Goode R. Cheatham and Dr. Edward M. Jones represented the E. J. doc tors, while Dr. D. Guilford Dud ley, Dr. Mark W. Welch and Dr. Roger D. _Mead were spokesmen for the private physicians.
