ACID SPLASHED ON TAIL AND RUDDER TWISTED-
An attempt to wreck a Piper Cub plane, -owned by Mr. K. B. Lee, millionaire sportsman, was mado at Kal Tak airport on Wednesday, the "China Mall" learned officially yesterday. Just before the aircraft was to be tested by Mr. A. S. Halls, Far East Flying School instructor, acid was found splashed on the tail. It was still fresh.
The police were still inves- tigating, the, matter yesterday. Mr. A. H. Elston, Director of Criminal Investigation, told the "China Mail" last night that no theories—whether was an
attempt on the life of Mr, K. B. Lee, or an attempt to wreck the machine--had yet been formed by the police. The acid-caten fabric has been sent to the Government Analyst
