HOHLT OFFERED
AID IN CRISIS
Civic Group Bids Trustee to
Farley to Discuss
Fiscal Problem.

The way was paved today for a
business like settlement Of Perry
Townships serious school finance
problem when the Perry Township
Civic School Association invited
Leonard A. Hohlt, township trustee,
to confer on the matter, on a nom
political basis.
Admitting that school finances
are exactly as Mr.. Hohlt described
them yesterday in The Indianapolis
Times, George A. Hacker, associa-
ton president, and several of the
members of the organization, today
made an earnest plea to Mr.. Hohlt
to allow them to cooperate in an
effort to find O. solution for the
crisis that threatens to curtail
school operations next fall.
"We are perfectly willing to go
along with Mr.. Hohlt, provided that
he makes no unreasonable changes
in the personnel, but We want to
meet with him on a business, and
not a political, basis" Mr.. Hacker
said.
Mr.. Hacker was accompanied by
two other men who have been active
in the protest against the threat
ened removal of Ray Addington as
principal of the school, and he said
that he would like to urge all parents
of school children to mark postcard
ballots on whether they wish Mr..
Addington to be retained as prin-
cipal and return them for counting.
I'VE want to get that vote out
of the way" he said, land then we
want to sit down with Mr.. Hohlt
and roll up our sleeves and go into
school finances, which are deplor-
able because of under-appropriation,
and into per capita costs Of teach
ing and see what is wrong.
las an association we feel that the
sooner the schools are taken out of
factional politics, the better. We be-
lieve Mr.. Hohlt feels the same way,
and we believe he will cooperate
