He's still controversial , . he's t still a firebrand . . . and he's still a i convincing latter writer. If you like concrete tvonf of this, check with Mr. Harold B. Chum, instructor in English and Speech at Morgan Slate College. Mr Chmn has the proof in the form of r, letter from the “Man from Independence" in which Mr. Truman, referring to his Rresiden- j cy. asserts, ”1 wrote my own ! speeches ' Correspondence between Mr. ! Truman and Mr. Chinn is the re sult of a controversy that develop ed in this way: In assigning model speech*” for analysis in a speech class at the college. Mr. Chinn selected one de livered by Mr. Truman at the light ing of the National Community Christmas Tree tn Washington, D C, on December 24, 1945. During the classroom presenta tion and analysis.

On the point of style and compo sition. Mr. Chinn, was challenged by members of the class on the issue i of authorship.
