Description
This letter dated February 7, 1953, from Attorney George S. Register to United States (US) Representative Usher Burdick, addresses Elizabeth L. McCleskey's employment as a social worker with the Indian Service at Standing Rock Reservation. Register writes that there was conflict between McCleskey and her supervisor, Mrs. Heineman, which resulted in Mr. Cooper, the Superintendent of the Aberdeen, South Dakota office, terminating McCleskey's employment. Register notes that their appeals have risen to the level of Secretary Oscar Chapman of the United States Department of the Interior. Register writes that many people are trying to aid McCleskey in an appeal of her wrongful termination, including United States Senator William Langer, and asks Burdick to assist in any way he can.
