All that Switzerland would have to do is to store

SIMULTANEOUSLY. Sidney
~ Hillman, the new political
boss, the master OF the Go
PAC money-raising outfit, tried
to give the impression in Bos-
ton recently that his support
was not of Mr.. Roosevelt per sc.
but because he wants TO win
the war.
In fact, he intimated. had the
Republicans nominated Wendell
Willkie. the PAC might have
supported Willkie.
or course, as the Republicans
did not nominate Willkie, there
is no way Of proving that ques-
ton one way or the other.
II is one of those might-have-
done statements that is easy to
make when there il not the
slightest possibility Of proving
IT one way or the other.
He said:
Roosevelt would probably
have been my personal choice,
but there are many among the
supporters Of the PAC and Of
the National Citizens Political
Action Committee who like Mr..
WilIkie."
Hlllman even creates the
aroma in his impartiality Of
favoring the best man, no mat
ter which is his party. Well,
