Homoja Village. the Naval Acad-
amy's quonset hut town built in
Annapolis year and a half ago to
care for wartime overflow of per-
sonnel, has proved such a success
that instead of tearing it down
academy officials are now trying to
get enough more units to double its
size.
A spokesman at the academy said
gram expanding, this Laughed
at village outside the academy
grounds now has a waiting list
rivaling a nylon line and will have
to be expanded.
The name "Homoja" is a COM
bination of the first two letters of
the last names of these three naval
officers: Admiral Frederick j. Horne,
former vice chief of Naval Opera
tions; Vice Admiral Ben Moreell,
former chief of the Bureau of Yards
and Docks, and Rear Admiral Ran
dali Jacobs, former chief of the
Bureau of Naval Personnel.
At the time the project was con-
structed the three admirals. accord
ing to the story, got together one
evening and evolved the name after
giving up all other suggestions.
The quonset village is more than
just that. 1t is way of life.
Life in a Goldfish Bowl.
1--WE love it here" said Mrs.
Howard F. Bethel, who lives in one
Of the huts with her husband, 1t.
Comdr. Bethel, and two small chill
dren. "Oh, it's like living in gold
fish bowl. You can hear the neigh
bors when they break eggs at break
fast. And don't try to spend a
quiet evening reading-you always
have callers. But it's fun.
Besides, rent is only 81 a
day. We're here for two more
years and I wish it we're going to be
even longer"
Mrs. Bethel, formerly of Wash
ington, is only one of the 1872 wives
Of naval officers at Homoja quar-
tered there while attending the
Academy's Postgraduate School.
And her youngsters are but two of
the community's 300 children.
The community is known vari-
ously to those who love its treeless
yards and macadam roadways as
Happy Valley, Sunshine on the
Severn, Forrestals Flats, and Tin
Town.

But these quonset huts are a far
cry from those the CT from
Alaska to New Guinea knew. The
same size (about 60 feet long, Is
feet wide) as the usual quonset,
they nevertheless have all the con-
veniences of the best city home,

Police Thought Vinci
Was Telling Truth,
Murder Trial Told

A police checkup of statements
made to them by Joseph Vinci, 32-
year-old Bronx machinist on trial
in District Court here for a double
murder, convinced them that he was
telling the truth, witnesses at the
trial said today.
"Vinci said he was not a killer
and wanted the world to know who
the killer was said Sergt. Nunzio
Bonaccorsy of the Robbery Squad,
who was on a special detail to in
vestigate the killing of Edward Bar
ker and Pany Casbarian February
%, 1915, in a trailer at Fourteenth
and N streets NV.
Vinci is charged with these mur-
ders.
Vinci declared in a statement to
police that his co-defendant, Ray
mond F. Connors, 80, of Yonkers,
N. Y, who was acquitted in Feb
ruary, killed the two men, and that
the present defendant knew nothing
about such a plan beforehand. Vinci
testified for the Government in the
Connors trial.
Notes Sent to Jail.
Everything that we were able to
corroborate from Vinci's statements,
we did, said Sergt. Bonaccorsay.
The sergeant told of Vinci giving
him newspaper clippings about the
Connors' case in which Vinci's name
in headlines was burned through
with cigarette and the words "be
silent" and don't talk were written
in pencil. The sergeant said Vinci
told him that Connors sent the clip
pings, but would not tell who trans
mitted them as he had to live in
that jail referring to District Jail.
1t. Robert V. Murray of the Homi-
eide Squad, in charge of investigat-
ing the double murder, took the
stand when the trial resumed this
morning and said a police checkup
on Vinci's statements convinced
him Vinci was telling the truth.
Questioning Halted.
At the time police questioned
him here, Vinci appeared greatly
worried and said he had been sick
about the whole thing" and was
burned up" at Connors because
Vinci felt he had been pulled into
something by Connors," 1t. Murray
said.
An attempt by Defense Counsel
William Gallagher to learn from 1t.
Murray what he had told Vinci's
lawyer, Fred Baroni of New York,
who is defending him at the trial
and Vinci's wife and mother, was
unsuccessful. Justice Alexander
Holtzoff, presiding, halted Mr.. Gal
lagher and Assistant United States
Attorney Charles B. Murray also
objected. The defense contends that
Washington police and Justice De-
partment agents told Vinci's family
they had nothing to worry about as
they knew Connors had killed the
two men.
John B. Barnes of 1925 Cathedral
avenue NV, who had been.a a part
ner with Mr.. Barker in the automo-
bile business, testified as to what he
knew of the double killing.

Mystery Probed
AS Woman Dies
In Road Crash
Victim Unidentified
After Soldier
Runs Into Woods

Virginia authorities today were
attempting to solve mysterious cir
cumstances connected with the
death of an unidentified young
woman in a collision of an automo-
bile and Greyhound bus yester-
day on Route l at Accotink, about
II miles south of Alexandria.
Alexandria police said the car
had been reported stolen in New
York. They added that man in
uniform was seen by witnesses to
leave the car after the collision and
run into nearby woods. He was
said to be carrying a handkerchief
although there were no visible
signs of injuries.
R. S. Hall of Occoquan said the
bus driver anticipated the crash and
drove off the four-lane highway
onto a bank. None of the pas
Sengers was injured.
The Penn-Daw Fire Department
ambulance took the young woman to
the Alexandria Hospital, where she
was pronounced dead. She carried in
a purse papers which had three diff
ferent names on them, the hospital
reported. Military police have joined
IN attempts to solve her identity
and are to question a man in the
Washington area who they think
may be her father.
In a Maryland traffic accident
involving woman, Mrs. Jessie Car
ter, 10, of North Dartmouth, Mass,
died few hours after being admit
ted to Leland Memorial Hospital,
Riverdale, with injuries received yes
terday afternoon while she walked
across the Washington Baltimore
boulevard near Berwyn.
Maryland State police listed the
driver of the car that allegedly
struck Mrs. Carter as Robert Ka-
node, 6400 Frederick road, Catons-
vile. He has been charged with
manslaughter and reckless driving,
they said. Bond of 1000 was fixed
for the manslaughter charge. Mrs.
Carter was reported to have left her
car to make travel inquiries.

metal cap over them. He reached
under the slide panel with an empty
hand and came back with four
dimes. He lifted the cap. The
nickels were gone.
His face lighted with a smile of
delight. Isn't that corking trick?"
he asked.

DC-4s Fin Yields Nest and Eoos
Solving Airpor;;'s Bird Mystery

This morning a couple of the men
made their way inside, and, sure
enough, found a nest and three
small, light blue eggs. In getting
the nest out the loose twigs fell
apart and one egg was broken.
Meanwhile, the swallow was
circling frantically around the ship
looking for the nest.
Before the nest was found it was
thought the mystery of why the
plane was adopted would have to
wait until later this week, when the
plane would be taken to the Glenn

members have attempted to capture

For several days, the swallow has

State College, Penn, April io.- (NEA) = This college coi1fnunity's No. angler, George Harvey, is looking forward to his 18th consecu- tive opening day on a Pennsylvania trout stream.
 A Fisherman at the age of five, the former Pennsylvania State Col- 1ege track star added fly tying to his repertoire five years later, and has since earned recognition as one of the Keystone States top anglers.
 John Alden Knight, widely known fishing authority, describes Harvey as "the greatest trout fish ernar I ever met"
 The secret of a full creel, accord ing to Harvey, is the ability to dis- tingtish between limestone and freestone streanis-the principal sources of trout.
 Limestone streams, found in the broad valleys from New England to Tennessee, flow over limestone formations. Freestone waters are generally located in mountain or plateau areas, have as their beds other than limestone rock.
 Trout food is under the water in the, limestone runs and on top of zthe water in the freeStone wa ters, .confldes the expert.
 If 1t Is a limestone stream, fish with underwater lures" Harvey ad- vises. If it's freestone, fish with dry flies or surface lures.
 "A few small trout can be in- duced to take a dry fly on lime stone run, particularly in the shall low swift waters or rifles, but those same trout could be taken more easily with nytnphs or wet flies"
 High water and muddy water nulllfy his plan, Harvey agrees, but he still contends his advice will stand the test IS per cent of the time. He also admits that when there ere specialized matches of in- 1ects on limestone streams, the dry
