Pollution killing forest
NZPA-Reuter Moscow Heavy industrial pollution is killing off thousands of acres of forest around the Soviet Union car-making town of Togliatti, the Communist Party daily, “Pravda” has said in a rare report on the environment. It said a “bitter smoke” hung permanently over the hills and woodlands around
