Nevada blind services clash over White Cane Week letter
Knudsen head of the Nevada Federation of the Blind in Las Vegas sent an open letter to Gov. Paul Laxalt demanding the ouster of Mervin J. Flander, supervisor of the State Division of Services to the Blind, accusing state officials of prejudice and neglecting the visually handicapped while Laxalt proclaimed White Cane Week. Flander denied bias and said Knudsen has long campaigned for his dismissal, calling the charges untrue. Knudsen praised the week’s framing while criticizing the state’s handling of education, employment and social integration for the blind.
