ST. John S Takes Figh'
On Navy's Purchase
Into House Hearing
By the Associated Press.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, June l2.-
President Stringfellow Barr of st
Johns College will carry his insti-
tution's fight against acquisition by
the Naval Academy before a House
Naval Affairs Committee hearing in
Washington today.
DR.. Scott Buchanan, dean of the
college, said Dr. Barr would demand
a written statement by the Navy
that the acquisition of the 30-acre
campus is necessary for the ma
tional interest.
The college will agree to the
acquisition only If the terms of the
ensuing settlement allow the insti-
tuition to continue its work else
where, he added.
In a letter to Surg. Gen. Thomas
Parran, president of the St. Johns
Board of Visitors and Governors
Secretary Of the Navy Forrestal re-
Gently declared that the Naval
Academy's need for st. Johns facil-
tiles 'is urgent"
Hopes were high among St Johns
onclaS, however, that the forfeiture
OF the Nations third oldest college
might be averted.
These hopes were based on the
belief that the Navy has not been
able and will not be able to show a
clear necessity for the acquisition
and that congressional act which
would be required for the move may
be difficult to obtain under these
These ofdcias pointed out that
when the House Committee tenta-
lively approved the Navy plan, a /
ma jority Of its members were absent
and they feel that a consideration
IN full or nearly full, committee
might produce different results.
Even if the House Committee
should approve the plan finally
they said, concurrence in the Senate
is by no means assured.
