Nevada NOW Calls for Wednesday Rally Over Alice Doesn’t
The Las Vegas NOW chapter plans a noon rally at City Hall with Dorothy Jean Poole addressing welfare women. Local members urge cautious action, balancing job security with a symbolic day of boycotting spending and house duties. Some Nevada women plan to strike while others oppose or waver on work and prices. Arizona legislators counter with “America Does What Alice Doesn’t,” defending working roles and freedom to choose.
