together"
The atmosphere Of settlement was
in the air when the principals in
the Buick mix-up emerged from
the Office Of Assistant United States
Attorney John B. Diamond, III to-
day.
During the meeting, Mrs. othella
Pompier, Brazilian Aeronautical
Commission secretary who started
the Buick saga by driving the wrong
car to New York, was cleared of all
suspicion of criminal intent for her
chauffering job. Mr.. Diamond
described Mrs. Pompier's part in
the affair as purely an honest mis-
take"
Carlton Evans, brother -in-law of
Mr.. Costianes and his representative
until the appearance of Mr.. Kane
row this morning, said a Today limit
had been set for Col. Lima to pro-
duce the Roadmaster. Both lawyers
denied, however, that any deadline
had been set.
Only other stumbling block to
complete settlement Is an agree
ment on the amount of personal
property Mr.. Costianes had in his
car. Mr.. Kamerow also intimated
that some damages for "incon-
venience" might be asked in the
restaurant owners behalf.
