Truman Genuinely Friendly Prof. Heller Tells Faculty
Harry S. Truman has a genuine sense of friendship for people he feels are his friends, Francis Heller, professor of political science, told the Faculty Club Sunday.
"This is why it's clear to me," he said, "that the people who worked close with him found it easy to do so and to give him their loyalty."
Prof. Heller's talk, "My Days with Mr. Truman," were based upon the nearly two years, 1954-56, that he assisted the former president in writing his memoirs," "Year of Decision" and "Years of Trial and Hoe."
"It was a great professional opportunity to spend however little time with the man who holds the unique position of the president of the United States," the University political scientist said.
Prof. Heller was asked to join Mr. Truman's staff after an attempt at the work by a previous staff failed to meet the former prisedent's approval.
Dr. Heller was on Mr. Truman's assembling, writing and editing staff with William Hillman, author of "Mr. President," and David Noyes. The team advised Mr. Truman throughout the wirting of the manuscript.

"Do Greek Letter Organizations Violate the Principles of Christian Conscience," was a topic discussed by members of the University Lutheran Student Assn. at a dinner meeting at Emporia Sunday.

A secondary benefit from the job was association with high-level government officials, Prof. Heller said.

"My experience included being at close quarters with top-level men in Mr. Truman's administration. I was able to bombard them with questions that might help to illuminate the record."
"The first draft of the memoirs was over two million words. The publisher, Life Magazine, wanted only 600,000.
"Mr. Truman, who wanted the memoirs to be a contribution to the historical record, wanted the documents to speak for themselves, but this draft was too bulky.
"The second draft was a little better, one million words, and the last one was just over the 600,000."
The staff just made the deadline date, June 30, 1956, for the book, he said.
"For the last three weeks we, including Mr. Truman, worked solid from 8:30 a.m. until late in the afternoon, reading the manuscript and checking every sentence. We just got it in under the wire."
Greeting Cards Aid U.N. Fund
December is the traditional time to send greetings to friends. The Collegiate Council for the United Nations today suggested to students that one particular greeting could help a child in need.

"By buying these cards, you can help provide milk, drugs, vaccines and other supplies to protect children's health," Judith Tice, Sumnerfield senior and president of CCUN. said.
