Daily Treatment Markley said the new instrument may make it economically possible for a patient to undergo dialysis every day instead of only twice a week, a delay which makes a patient feel sickly and weak between treatments. Altho researchers intended to build an inexpensive filter that could be discarded after one use, preliminary work indicates that the new filter may be cleaned and reused two or three times, Markley said. A new issue of The New Yorker is on the newsstands now.

Markley, an engineer in Argonne's high facilities division and an expert on modern adhesives. Dr. Lavender said that the new machine may cost only $2,000 a year to run instead of the present $5,000 to $25,000 annual cost of hemodialysis. Such a cost reduction could bring an artificial kidney into the reach of almost all those suffering from kidney failure, he said.

The major part of the new machine, which is still in the experimental stage, is a blood filter system that is only slightly larger than a carton of ciga-rets. All the equipment needed for one to two days of treatment can be carried in a suitcase. It is expected that the new mechanical kidney can reduce the cost of hemodialysis cleansing the blood of poisonous waste products by at least 50 go dialysis every day instead of only twice a week, a delay which makes a patient feel Chicago Motor club test drivers found the Eisenhower expressway traffic moving slower yesterday than it did on Tuesday, the second day of thoro-fare's 10-million dollar resurfacing project which will last until Aug. 29.

Carmen Bruno, 526 W. 127th testified before the Civil Service commission that he did not believe there were any illegal conversions in the building because there is a permit dated March 12, 1965, in the city records to convert the building from 6 to 12 apartments. Testifies for Himself Bruno was the only witness in his own behalf in his trial on a charge of conduct unbecoming a building department employe by failing to report violations in the building, which Is owned by Arthur E.

Madison, 7943 Langley a building department supervisor. He testified that when he inspected the building on Feb. 10, 1967, it was in good shape and that the partitions of wood lathe and plaster were of a type approved by the building department. Jerome Zurla, assistant corporation counsel, brought out in cross-examining Bruno that the walls he approved were fire resistant for less than one hour, altho in multiple dwellings the city requires walls of at least one-hour fire resistance. "Why did you approve the building, then? asked Zurla.

Bruno was one of three building department employes suspended last March 20 after The Tribune and the Better Government association informed Sidney D.

Tells Apartment History Manoogian told the commission he bought the 12-apartment building at 6510-12 Kenwood av. for $12,000 in October, 1966, vacated tenants from it, and spent $10,000 rehabilitating it before tenants moved in during February, 1967. An inspector, William E.

Stone, said he inspected the building last March 20 and found a guard rail missing on the rear porch, evidence of roaches, and rubbish in the yard. Manoogian's lawyer displayed pictures of the apartments to the commission to show they were in good condition and one tenant, P. C.
