Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Sir:

EK has been reported to this office that several Negroes who
went to your restaurant last week was denied service because
of race. I telephoned the Hof*brau Tuesday around noon and
asked to speak to the person in charge, I did not get his name.
When I reported this incident, I was told “yes, that is right
we do not serve Negroes". When I tried to continue the con-
versation, I was told "I haven't time to talk about this".

We have checked with the office of the U. S. District Attorney
and it has been confirmed that such a refuSal of service would
constitute a violation of the Civil Rights Act.

We call this to your attention in the hopes that no one in the
future would be refused service in violation of the Civil Rights
Act, with its accompanying unpleasantness,

Sincerely,

(Mrs.) Eliza K. Paschall
Executive Director
