William and Mary student in murder case undergoes mental exam
Ronald Allen Melton, a graduate student from Puleaski Virginia, is committed to the Missouri State Hospital in Fulton for mental tests after being charged with first degree murder in the shooting death of Leona Bales, 60, motel manager in Lexington Missouri. The crime followed a nearby bank robbery where $146 was taken and the bandit later identified Melton. A separate note cites an increase in double crested cormorants in Maine's Muscongus Bay from four pairs in 1931 to about two thousand pairs.
