Motor Firm AbsoIved
In Faulty Ventilation
Death OF Driver

Judge Henry A. Schweinhaut
yesterday absolved the Buick Di-
vision of General Motors of blame
in the asphyxiation death of a
man who allegedly died as a result
of faulty ventilation of his auto
mobile.
Mrs. Matilda Sprague Schind-
lein, of Indian Head, Md, charged
wrongful death of her husband,
John L. Sprague, owner of an In
dian Head tavern, and sought
$10,0 900 damages. She originally
had asked $160,000 damages, but
statutory limits prohibited more
than $4,000 when the suit was
filed.
Died In Parked Car.
Mr.. Sprague died on February
s, 1948. while parked in his 1947
model Buick in the 1900 block of
Good Hope road Sc. The cor
foner's Office reported he died of
asphyxia and had a rs per cent
concentration of deadly carbon
monoxide in his blood.
No one could account for Mr..
Sprague's being parked alone there
at the time. But a taxicab driver,
Norman Muddiman, of Hillside,
Md. recalled yesterday that he
had parked his cab directly in
front of Mr.. Sprague's care on
Good Hope road.
He left his cab on an errand
and. when he returned, Mr.. Muddi-
man said. he found a third car
parked in front of his cab block
ing him close to the Buick. Hav-
ing nothing better to do, Mr..
Muddiman said. he climbed into
his cab. turned on the motor and
alternately read and dozed for
more than an hour.
Exhaust Fumes From Cab.
The exhaust fumes from the cab
apparently got into the Buick and
caused Mr.. Sprague's death, testi-
mony revealed.
OF the widows charge that the
Buick ventilation system design
was defective, Judge Schweinhaut
ruled that Mrs. Schindlein had
failed to prove latent defect"
i'm construction.
Faulty design in a car" he
added, "is not negligence of itself"

Business was slow at the meet

Citizens Associations last night
Even though member groups
were well represented, the meet

The one serious attempt to gel
some discussion going was made
by a member who said it was
about time something was done

1888 cruzeiros to the dollar for
other operations such as govern
|ment trade agreements.
The proposal Is contained in a
draft bill to be presented to Con-
gress.
The bill provides for the official
rate to be used for export and
Import Of goods and related trans
actions. government services and
other operations involving foreign
trade agreements.
Foreign investors. however
could bring capital into the coun-
try either at the official rate OF
at a free market rate. The unof-
fetal cruzeiro rate has been as
low as 80 or "a to the doll r, but
recently settled to between 27.4C
and 28.70 10 the dollar.
This would permit foreign bust
nessmen to get more cruzeiros for
their money on the free market
to invest in capital installations
in Brazil. But. according to the
draft bill, they would have TO use
the free market rate to exchange
their profits.
The bill, however, would en-
power the government to ex-
empt foreign investors using
the free market from the
present restrictions on interest,
profits and dividends and the
amount OF capital they could re-
patriate each year.
