A special Senate sub-committee has set March 12 to begin hearings on bills to set up a permanent Fair Employment Practices Committee, Chairman Dennis Chavez, New Mexico Democrat, said today.

After five days of hearings during the last session of Congress, the Senate Education and Labor Committee voted out a bill outlawing discrimination in employment on the basis of race, creed or color. The introduction by Senator Robert Taft, Ohio Republican, of a measure disgarding law enforcement provisions has made it necessary to schedule additional hearings.
