A House subcommittee advanced a bill to bar retired military personnel from collecting pensions while holding civilian government jobs. The rule would apply to 141,000 retirees already on the federal payroll and require new hires after Oct 1 to renounce retirement pay during government employment.

Arm Reattached After Teenage Girl Shoots Arm
In Philadelphia, Hahnemann Hospital doctors performed a six hour operation to sew back a teenage girl’s arm after she shot herself with a shotgun. Carol Williamson, 16, of Wilkes Barre, remained in serious condition as surgeons planned further nerve work and potential infections checks in the coming days. Her action followed a phone argument with a 16 year old boyfriend, with ambulance attendants and police detailing the scene. Doctors noted the recovery would take months before the hand may regain dexterity.
