Students to File Charge with Mass. FEPC

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Chao-Chu Chi '52 and Thomas L. Roberts '50 will take their charge of job discrimination at a lunch room to the Mass. State Fair Employment Practice Commission at 2:15 this afternoon. They expect to be accompanied by several members of the Harvard Young Progressives.

Chi, Chinese-born sophomore, and Roberts, a Negro, claim that Hazen's refused them part time jobs that are now held by white students. John M. Whouley, owner of the restaurant, insists that Chi and Roberts were not turned down because of their racial origins. He pointed out that a Chinese student worked at Hazen's all summer.

In a conference with the students on Friday, Whouley admitted that he had never employed non-Caucasians to wait on customers.
