@RsO,
“I have asked and there is no source for the semicho story – I believe not even from the rebbe himself.”
You’re raising an interesting topic. There’s a new book called The Early Years, where this is discussed. If I recall correctly, there’s no hard proof or documentation that the Rebbe received semicha from Rogatchover, but the correspondence definitely did happen, and you can see the letters from both of them in this book. It’s probably available elsewhere as well.
