Having searched for Lombardo on Mary Ferrell, in one account it states...

"On March 28th, 1967, NK T-2 (informant) stated that Philip Lombardo, also known as Benny Squint, of Englewood, New Jersey, has been made boss of the entire LCN by Vito Genovese."

Although I realise, this remark doesn't prove anything, it's still interesting.
