A grimace is all you can do when your car decides to lodge itself on the brink of a hill. Grimacing, the driver said the parking brake was set when she parked behind Flint Hall Wednesday. She started to walk away when she heard a crunch and turned to see her car rolling down the embankment. The car was stopped by the curbing, otherwise it might have rolled into the greenhouse below.

DiBona withdraws
WASHINGTON (UPI)—Charles J. DiBona, who ran into some stiff opposition on Capitol Hill, has withdrawn himself from consideration as draft director Lewis B. Hershey's successor, the White House said Wednesday.

Charles seated
LONDON (UPI)—Commanded by his mother the queen to ignore danger in debating his country's laws, Prince Charles took his seat Wednesday in the House of Lords.
The 21 year old heir to the British throne did not make a maiden speech following a nine-minute seating ceremony that made him the sixth Prince of Wales introduced in Parliament in 285 years.
But Buckingham Palace sources said Charles, in future visits to the gilded chamber by the River Thames, would ignore royal tradition of noninvolvement and speak out on issues he champions.

WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Safeguard Antiballistic Missile (ABM) radars emit such powerful radiation at present that it could cripple the long-range missiles it is supposed to protect and endanger the health of their launch crews, it was learned Wednesday.
Rep. Robert L, F. Sikes, D-Fla., a ranking member of the House defense appropriations subcommittee and a principal backer of Safeguard, confirmed in general terms existence of the difficulty.
The Army has told key members of Congress about the problems of "meshing" the ABM system with the Minuteman ICBMs it will surround, but believes it can overcome them.
ABM emits radiation could cripple missiles
"They recognize that it's a problem, but it's not anything that is causing them apprehension," Sikes said.
Rep. Otis Pike, D-N.Y., an ABM opponent, said he had not heard about the radar radiation problem but said he intended to ask about it when Army witnesses appear before the House Armed Services Committee.
The administration is asking Congress for $1.4 billion for Safeguard during the fiscal year starting July 1. President Nixon has announced his intention to expand the system from the two ABM sites in North Dakota and Montana which Congress approved last year to the full 12 installation envisioned in the program.
