could swing the balance of power,
 IT Willkie can swing 5nly that many votes, it is certain he or his representatives can go into the Re- publican national convention in June with assurance of a big hand in picking the candidate and writ ing the platform. If the COP con- vention strategists ignore him, they may be dashing all hope Of batting a Republican in the White House or even of gaining control of the House.
 Some politicians here think he may be angling for a cabinet post. perhaps Secretary of State, where his international theology could be given free rein. Others think he merely wants to be a behind-the- scenes power.
 In any event. Wlllkie's withdraw al boOmed Gov. DeWey's stock to an all-time high, which Mir. Dewey. well may not like. If Dewey should be nominated In June and defeated in November, 1t would be a setback to the most meteoric political car ger this country has seen in years. Willkie's withdrawal also dashed the hopes of packers of Gov. Brick CT and Gen. Douglas Macarthur who were praying for a convention deadlock to bounce their men into the picture.

ON lPHlE WASHINGTON FRONT
By JACK sTnNETT

WASHINGON-The favorite topic for political speculation around Washington these days is: What is Wendell L. Willkie up to?
 This speculation is based on sey- eral factors:
 u) Willkie is no quitter. His political and business activities from college days are proof of 1t. Even if he were given to sudden and impetuous changes, it's impOs- sible to conceive of his embarrass- ing those who have stuck with him tor four years by taking himself out of the national political picture.
 @ Close observers here say that there was never any possibility Of WiIlkie's capturing a majority of the Wisconsin delegates and that he was well aware of it.
 The conclusion can only be that Willkie has something up his sleeve and had it there before the Wiscon- sin primary took place. Willkie hasn't even breathed what that SumeLnlng mlgnt De to ms most loyal supporters. Observers believe that he won't say anything to tip his hand before the Republican con- yention.
 In recent months, Willkie must have concluded his strategy was wrong; that pursuing his mapped political path would get him mo- where; that he could do more good for himself and his political beliefs by doing a complete about-face. If that is true, what then is this new strategy?
 Observers here in both Republi- can and Democratic ranks estimate that Willkie might possibly swing from five to ten million votes by vigorous campaigning for one pres idential candidate. In a year when the total votes cast for president may run only 40 to 45 million Ga bout 10 to 15 million under nor maD three or four million votes
