IN VIRGINIA

FREDERICKSBURG - Rescue workers credit a convenience store clerk with saving the life of a baby born on a bus.

A passenger on a Greyhound bus traveling from Richmond to New York rushed inside the Stafford County store and told clerk Darlene Causey to call 911 because a baby born in a bus bathroom wasn't breathing.

Causey dashed to the bus and found the mother and newborn girl in the phone booth-size bathroom. Causey said she tilted the baby's head back and ``just puffed a little bit'' into her mouth. The baby immediately started crying.

The mother and child were taken to Mary Washington Hospital. Hospital personnel on Thursday would not discuss their conditions.

Napalmed officer out of hospital

FAIRFAX - A police officer burned by a man's homemade napalm is out of the hospital.

Stephen Needles was released Thursday from Washington Hospital Center. He received skin grafts and other treatment since receiving third-degree burns May 1.

Needles and two other Fairfax County Police officers went to Salar O. Karim's apartment after reports that Karim made a threatening phone call to the White House. Karim is charged with tossing napalm onto the officers, then throwing a match.

Doctors expect Needles will make a complete recovery. Karim, arrested in Maryland the day of the incident, is fighting extradition to Virginia.
