to know the names of the families
The accepted source of information
on the subject is the Report of the
Special Committee to Investigate
Presidential, Vice Presidential and
Senatorial Campaign Expenditures
l940.
This official report reveals that
the five families are the Rockefellers
the DuPonts, the Pews. the Sloans
and the Queenys.
The five families gave a total oi
$432, $50, it seems. That is the figure
that Hillman apparently would like
to have contrasted with 1911 ,086
which he says is the total expendi-
ture Of the CIO committee up tc
August Is. And most of that, he
says, was spent for salaries and
travel, Office rent, equipment and
publicity. Only SGT 7,43O, he says, was
expended or contributed in primary
campaigns or State elections.
May Have Good Point.
If Hillmans figures are correct

are correct, it looks as If Hillmar

to be precise he should have said
that $l8,156,332 was collected by the
COP, but only $16,62l ,435 spent
That left 81 ,534 1877 not used. These
are the figures In the Senate com.
