Melvin, Hustler' Owner, Indicted In Police Probe, 'Man On The Go' FLYNT HAS been arrested several times previously, but only one conviction appears on his record, that for Illegally firing a gun in a Walnut Street nightclub in March, 1972. Another conviction, for falsification, was overturned by the Ohio Court of Appeals.

Because of the arrest records of Flynt and his brother Jimmy, Cincinnati police objected when the Flynts applied for a liquor permit transfer for the Hustler club in Cincinnati In July, 1970. The Board of Liquor Control in Columbus rejected the application, made in the name of Jimmy R. Flynt, but that decision was reversed by the Ohio Liquor Control Commission. The club's license was suspended two weeks In 1974, after the commission learned that female employees had solicited drinks from male patrons. In July, 1975, the club was cited by the commission for owing more than $20,000 in sales taxes.

As of Friday, the Flynts had until January 25 to pay $16,081 which remains unpaid or face Indefinite suspension of the license. 2 Men Rob Bank something," Flynt was quoted as saying in an Interview published in Hustler magazine's July, 1975, issue. "Whether it be in his personal life or his work, if he's consistent I consider him a hustler." Flynt, according to Mel Williams, landlord of the Cincinnati Hustler club, 608 Walnut "is a hard driver, who pushes himself." Williams said the Cincinnati club opened January 1, 1970. The magazine grew out of the clubs: first as a newsletter when the main office moved from Cincinnati to Columbus; then, in July, 1974, lt became a four-color, glossy magazine distributed nationally. Hustler's greatest notoriety developed when the August, 1975, issue included nude photos of Jackie Kennedy Onassis, for which Flynt reportedly paid $100,000.

OF THE predominance of nude photos and lack of editorial content, Flynt has said many times, "I'd rather sell to 10 truck drivers than one college professor." For that attitude, he has been called a "poor man's Hugh Hefner," who dreams of creating an empire like that of the Playboy magazine publisher. "I'm a male chauvinist through and through," Flynt told an interviewer earlier this month. "Women were made for men and no matter what they do, they'll still always be sexy to me." The bribery indictments against Flynt allege that he offered the services of a prostitute in 1970 and 1971 to Roger Hummeldorf, a vice squad police officer. By DENNIS CUSICK And STEVE WILSON Of The Enquirer Staff Larry C. Flynt fashions himself a "hustler" "a man on the go, a man trying to accomplish something." But, he claims it wasn't that, but Elizabeth Hustler, allegedly the inventor of the cocktail, which prompted him to name his nightclubs and men's magazine "Hustler." A KENTUCKY native, Flynt, 33, refused to enter a plea Friday to two charges of bribery and one of sodomy which resulted from a grand Jury investigation of the Cincinnati Police Division.

(Nine others, including his former girl friend and Cincinnati Police Chief Carl V. Goodin were also indicted.) The girl friend. Flora Ravena Griffith, 26, also refused to enter a plea Friday. Common Pleas Court Judge William Mathews entered not guilty pleas for both defendants. Miss Griffith is charged with a single count of sodomy, allegedly from an Incident with Flynt in March, 1972.

Flynt's first Hustler nightclub opened in Dayton, in 1967. Others have since been added in Cincinnati, Toledo, Akron, Cleveland and Columbus. He now lives in Columbus.

Officials plan to locate it permanently in Union Terminal during 1977. Administrators moved the school in July to Roselawn from Mt. Adams Elementary School, 1125 St Gregory Mt Adams, at a cost of $2628.

Now, after parents' complaints about Inadequate facilities, they want to move it before leases on the Roselawn facilities expire next summer. Administrators say they plan to leave the arts school at Rockdale Temple until the terminal is ready to take lt Temple and school officials must agree upon a rental price for the Amberley iacility. The Cincinnati Board of Education pays a total annual rent of $40,900 for the Roselawn facilities. Arts school pupils will make up class time they will miss Monday and Tuesday, possibly during spring recess. William Dickinson, arts school principal, said.

Rockdale Temple officials offered their facilities to school officials after they learned of unhappmess with the Roselawn locations. Waldrip said he decided last summer to place the program in the Roselawn buildings because they were the only places available. permits schools, he said. The five-member Board of Zoning Appeals of Amberley Village will meet in regular session January 5. Beall said.

School administrators had planned to have the arts program in Rockdale Temple for resumption of classes January 5 after winter recess. "The Board of Zoning Appeals can grant a variance without (Village) Council action," Beall said. But the council would have to enact an ordinance for a zone change before the school could move into the temple, he said. ROCKDALE TEMPLE trustees will seek either a zoning variance or change if necessary, Rockdale Rabbi Harold Hahn said. School administrators will also have to get health and safety inspectors to approve Rockdale Temple as a school building before they move the arts program into it.

Thomas Wesson. Amberley village manager, said. Both Amberley and school officials say they are uncertain when the arts school can be in Rockdale Temple assuming zoning does not bar it. HendncKs said he thinks the school may still make it by January 5. But other officials predict at least a one-month delay.

The proposed move to Rockdale "The superintendent (Waldrip) issued instructions to get ready to move," John Faust, assistant superintendent for support services, said. But then Amberley Village officials told school administrators the zoning of Rockdale Temple is all wrong for a school. Amberley officials said they learned of the planned moved through newspaper accounts. "We didn't check with them because we had no idea there would be any problem. Amberley is in our school district," Hendricks said after a meeting Friday with Amberley administrators.

Amberley is a separate municipality from Cincinnati. "Before there can be any consideration of a school in Rockdale Temple, there must be a zoning appeal procedure," Augustus Beail III, Amberley solicitor, said. ZONING OF Rockdale Temple permits singlefamily residences, churches and synagogues and public buildings other than schools. Beall said Rockdale Temple officials can elect one of two procedures to allow location of the arts school at the temple. They could seek either a variance from the existing zoning without a rescission of it or a zoning change to a classification which By KERRY KLL'MPE Enuquirer Repojter The 556-pupil School for the Creative and Performing Arts sat packed Friday ready for its second move in less than six months.

It had no place to go. Amberley Village officials told school administrators Friday they will need either a zoning variance or change to move the alternative program into Rockdale Temple, 8501 Uidge Amberley Village. So teachers and pupils held classes Friday in existing rented Roselawn facilities which parents say are Intolerable beyond January amid packed books, office records and musical instruments. DONALD WALDRIP, Cincinnati School District superintendent, called off arts school classes Monday and Tuesday to enable teachers either to move or unpack, Glenn Hendricks, administrative assistant for instruction, said.
