KING’S SYMPATHY
| MESSAGES OF CONDOLENCE Reed. 10.30 a.m. LONDON, Tuesday. The King has sent a message to the Secretary for Air, Sir Samuel Hoare. stating: “I am grieved to learn of the loss that the Royal Air Force has suffered in the tragic death of Lieut. Kinkead, who had such a distinguished career. - Please convey my sincere sympathy to the relatives of this gallant airman.” A message from Rome says the news of Lieutenant Kinkead’s death was a shock to Signor Balbo, Under-Secre- _ tarv for Air.
