diagnosing asthma include q
skin test In which samples Of
material to which the patient
is thoght to be allergic are
placed in the skin.
In trying to determine
whether medication Is taking
effect during treatment. the
physician could rely only on
the patients own description Of
his health.
DR.. Itkin and DR.. Gardner
Middlebrook, chief Of research
and laboratories at the Nation
al Jewish Hospital, invented
what they consider a deceptive
ly simple device testing accu-
rately a patients reactions to
allergents. materials to which
he is allergic.
At one end of the device the
physician inserts a solution
containing an allergent. The
solution in the form Of a fine
mist is passed through several
tubes and filters and inhaled in
and exhaled by the patient.
Forty minutes later the
amount of solution exhaled is
measured.
The doctor can determine
whether the patient is respond
ing to treatment by the
amount of allergent remaining
in the patients chest-in the
bronchial area. If the patient is
getting better, there is less
allergent in his chest.

No Method Superior
His observations indicate
that. despite great surgical

holding hearings into urban

The question of survey reports
came up once more at today's
hearings. The subcommittee
staff has been going through
files of several agencies look
ing for the records which would
show the inspection reports for
the houses in the Columbia
Plaza project.
Mr.. Dowdy commented that
it was an interesting coinci-
dence that the agency, the Ma
tional Capital Planning Com
mission, the District Commits
sioners' office of Urban Re-
newal and the Housing and
Home Finance Agency were all
missing their copies of the
survey reports.
Information in Forms
Mr.. Searle said that the
preliminary survey reports that
were missing were not import
ant and that his agency's ap-
plications had contained suffi-
cient information to prove that
blighted conditions existed in
the project area.
Mr.. Searles was asked wheth-
er James Salkeld, a salesman
for the Washington real estate
firm Of Shannon and Luchs
had ever approached him tc
raise the price per square foot
in the plaza project to cover
an obligation for 100000 owed
to previous owners Of the prof.
ect land.
Mr.. Searles said that minor
adjustments could be made
during negotiations and added
that he had never discussed
this detail Of the prices with
Mr.. Salkeld.
