New York's jewel of a building, begun in 1803 and completed in 1812 to serve a populace of 50,000, is still the working governmental center for today's eight million. All that traffic, mud and cigar smoke can be pretty tough on a paint job. "City Hall has too fnany real, working offices in it," says Charles Foti, director of operating services for the Department of Public Works.

Of the approximately $15 million annually spent on public works, $106,650 has been approved for extensive repairs of City Hall's leaking roof another $35,000 or so for painting the lobby, corridors, City Council chamber, mayor's office and some other public rooms.

"How can we object when we can see that our kids are learning?" The demonstrators, consisting of black, Puerto Rican and white mothers and their preschool toddlers, met at PS 149 at 34th Ave. and 94th St. shortly after 2 p.m. At about 3 pm. they marched to PS 92 at 34th Ave.

Details of the new program involving cardiopulmonary resuscitation the lifesaving technique that combines mouth to mouth breathing with closed chest compression were announced by Robinson and Dr. Joseph Schlu-association's emergency cardiac ger, chairman of the heart committee, at association headquarters, 2 E. 64th St, "Essential" Program "Since the police are often the first on the scene in an emergency, it's essential that they be able to start resuscitation," Sch-luger said. Similar programs involving policemen exist in several cities including Los Angeles, where he said heart attack fatalities have declined by as much as 30.

In New York City, he said, an average of 10 or 11 persons die daily from heart attacks and many of these deaths are unnecessary because of enormous progress made by medical science. Sgt. William Leask, of the Emergency Services Section, said that the 30 officers will take the course on their own time, not at the expense of the taxpayers. A Standard Practice Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, a standard practice used in situations in which the heart has stopped beating or the lungs have stopped functioning or both, is a technique that requires no special treatment, the lips and hands do all the work. It has been used successfully to revive not only victims of heart attack, but of submersion, drug overdose, asphyxiation risks, severe allergic reaction and electric shock.

"Immediate action is crucial in cases of endangerment of sudden death," Schluger explained, because irreversible damage to the brain and other organs begins within four to six minutes after circulation and respiration stop." He said that of the estimated million deaths from heart attack that occur yearly in the U.S., 650,000 die before the patient reaches the hospitaL ir News photo by Jim Garrett Dr. Joseph Hayes (left) and Police Officer Edward Bang demonstrate cardiopulmonary resuscitation on dummy..
