March.—Out of the : super-secret files of the war today j came a project for a 2,000.000 ton | aircraft' carrier—built of reinforced ice. . Seriously considered by the com ! bined chiefs of staff, but abandoned i due to the progress of tine war. the I proposed “iceberg" was to be more than one-third of a mile long with I torpedo-proof walls 50 feet thick i and keep itself from melting away to a puddle by self-contained re frigerating machinery A 1,000-ton model was built on a Canadian lake and escaped the hazards of ice picks, cigarette butts and blow torches for six months before be ing scrapped. Designed for the frigid waters of the North Atlantic, the overgrown ice cube was suggested as a practic- ! ally invulnerable floating air base J for hunting down German submar ines and to provide air cover for! the European invasion. Ordinary ice was found to be too j weak and brittle, said the annodnee- | merit issued simultaneously from j Washington. Ottawa and London. A ; mixture of ice and wood pulp cap-j able of' withstanding a terrific .ini- | past was substituted. i The success ol' anti-submarine tactics plus the technical difficulties of building a structure "which had to be protected against melting and enemy action." the deport said, leu to. abaiidomeht of the project. ■ The British originated the idea. • dubbed the "Habbafcuk Project" late ■ in 1942, specifying a man-made ice : berg 2 000 feet long, 300 feet wide. 200 feet deep, weighing 2.000,000 toils and costing approximately 570.c00.000. Propelled by electric motors fastened to the outside skin. 1 tlie. sea-going ice cake was to have mounted anti-aircraft guns on deck The test of a good farm mortgage ' loan is one in which the farm offer led as security will produce suffici ! ent income to pay operating and j living expenses plus principal on the loan. Tax Deductions On 6as Allowed Motorists of Nortli and South Car olina may deduct on their Federal , Income Tax returns this year the money paid out in state gasoline taxes in 1945, according to a state ment issued by the Carolina Motor Club today. The state tax rate is 6c per gallon for both states. "It must be added, however,, said T. E. Pickard, Secretary of the Mo tor Club, “That any deductions, whether based on State gasoline tax or on other items, may be made only when the taxpayer reports his in come in detail on form 1040. In ttv. main, no deductions may be claimed by those who file a Withholding re ceipt as a return, or who use Form 1040 and take advantage of the tax table or standard deduction. The i blanket allowance granted in the I latter cases is deemed to be suf-| ficient to cover, allowable personal; deductions.
