Show Rats Conquer at Airfield Officials were astonished when at an airfield near Karachi they saw even stationary planes sink into the eartiu Investigation disclosed that thousands of rats had tunneled under un-der the ground. Poison was spread to kill the rodents, but with little effect. Gassing, firing, trapping and all other modern devices were employed em-ployed against them, but without success. At last, says the London Daily Express, the authorities, exasperated, ex-asperated, gave in. Now the ratj are in full charge of the airfield. |
