Coast Guards New
Icebreaker Is Most
Powerful in World

Early in March the new coast
guard icebreaker, Mackinaw, the
most powerful ship of this type in
the world, will clear channel for
ore boats through the canals and
straits at the northern end of Lake
Superior. Ordinarily fleet Of ships
numbering as many as 100 is ice
locked in Whitefsh bay until spring.
This year the much-needed iron
from Minnesota's mines can be
transported to the steel mills in
Great Lakes cities several weeks
earlier than usual.
While the lakes themselves are
unfrozen all winter, except for a
fringe from five to ten miles off
shore, the narrow waters in straits,
canals and harbors are covered with
ice from December to April. It may
be from one to eight feet thick, ty-
ing up shipping all winter. Old-style
icebreakers have not been able to
keep lanes open throughout the cold
season Ships of the Mackinaw type
should be able to do so. Vice Adm.
Russell Waesche was quite satisfied
with the ships performance on
test run on Lake Huron last Deem
Der, and on voyage from Lake
Superior into Lake Michigan in jan
uary.
The icebreaker, built at a cost of
$10,000,000, approximates in size
cruiser. She is 200 feet long with a
beam of 74A feet and carries II Of
ficers and 1854 enlisted men. She is
insulated throughout with cork to
keep the crew comfortable in tenn.
peratures of 80 degrees below zero.
In addition to 15s-inch plates, the
heaviest on the lakes, and six Diesel
and two electric engines develop
ing total of 10000 horsepower, the
Mackinaw has two new ice-smash-
ing devices.
One is a bow propeller designed
to suck the water out from under
the ice directly ahead of the ship.
This makes it easier for the cutaway
bow to break heavy ice into small
chunks.
The second is four inter-c connected
tanks among which water may be
shifted to trim" the ship fore and
aft or "heeP' it from port to star
board to free it from the ice. Pow
erful pumps will shift 10000 gallons
of water from tank to tank in less
than a minute, rocking the ship like
a hobby horse.
She plowed through 20 inches of
solid blue ice as though it were soft
butter on her first trial and also ne
gotiated without difficulty windrows
of drifted ice as much as 10 feet
high. She used full power only once
and never had to call upon her spe-
cial ice-crushing equipment. Per-
Torrance exceeded expectations.

Convention Ban Fails
To Hurt D. T.. Hotels

Washington hotels are little af-
fected by the recent request of the
Office of Defense Transportation for
conventions to defer their meetings
until after the war Most of the
hotels have not been booking con-
ventions for a long time, some for
more than two years.
The only convention reported to
have reserved space and to have
been called off by its officers was a
scheduled meeting of grand masters
and grand secretaries of Masonic
lodges. This was to have been held
late in February.
The largest hotels adopted some
time ago a policy of refusing to re-
serve rooms for conventions.
1--WE have a hard enough time"
one manager explained taking
care of urgent daily needs, without
booking conventions, which are, to
large extent, not essential to the
war effort"
Washington. because of its con-
slant influx of official visitors, was
one of the first cities to discourage
conventions. Since the ODT re-
quest many conventions scheduled
to meet in various cities have been
called off.
