What is claimed is: 1. A multiple attachment trailer hitch device adapted to a box receiver hitch of a towing vehicle comprising: a receiver hitch attaching member having a first end adapted to be inserted in said box receiver hitch, and a second end; a cylindrical collar attached to said second end at a first acute angle, said cylindrical collar having a central bore; a central spindle having a shaft rotatably engaged within said central bore of said cylindrical shaft, said central spindle having an upper end welded to a spindle cap larger than said central bore and a lower end, said cylindrical collar having a single transverse bore and said shaft of said central spindle further having at least two opposing transverse bores which, when aligned, receive a locking pin to retain said central spindle within said cylindrical collar at a fixed position; a cross arm member having a flat intersecting portion welded to said lower end, said cross arm member further providing at least four arms having terminal ends emanating from said flat intersecting portion bent downward at a second acute angle, each terminal end having an upper surface; and a plurality of different sized ball hitches and an implement hitch receiver attached to said upper surface of each said terminal end, wherein said first acute angle between said central collar and said receiver hitch attaching member allows for complete rotation of said cross arm member without said ball hitches coming into contact with said receiver hitch attaching member or said box receiver hitch while rotating said spindle for selection of one of said plurality of different sized ball hitches and implement hitch receiver, while said second acute angle on each said arm presents said one ball hitch or implement hitch receiver directed away from said box receiver hitch in a horizontal plane for level towing. 2. The device, as disclosed in claim 1, wherein said cross arm member has an X shape and further provides three different sized ball hitches and an implement hitch receiver attached to four terminal ends on four arms and said first and second acute angles between the cylindrical collar and the receiver hitch attaching member and along each of the at least four arms are 30 degree angles which are equal and opposite. 3. The device, as disclosed in claim 1, said cylindrical collar having said single transverse bore, while said shaft of said central spindle has two opposing transverse bores, each of said at least two transverse bores aligned with two opposing arms of said cross member, said transverse bore of said cylindrical collar perpendicular to said receiver hitch attaching member so that insertion of said locking pin is accomplished aside from said terminal end having said one ball hitch or implement hitch receiver being used for towing. 4. A multiple attachment trailer hitch device adapted to a box receiver hitch of a towing vehicle comprising: a receiver hitch attaching member having a first end adapted to be inserted in said box receiver hitch, and a second end a cylindrical collar attached to said second end at a first 30 degree angle, said cylindrical collar having a central bore; a central spindle having a shaft rotatably engaged within said central bore of said cylindrical shaft, said central spindle having an upper end welded to a spindle cap larger than said central bore and a lower end, said cylindrical collar having a single transverse bore and said central spindle further having at least two opposing transverse bores which, when aligned, receive a locking pin to retain said central spindle within said cylindrical collar at a fixed position; a cross arm member having a flat intersecting portion welded to said lower end, said cross arm member further providing at least four arms having terminal ends emanating from said flat intersecting portion bent downward at a second 30 degree angle, each terminal end having an upper surface; and a plurality of different sized ball hitches and an implement hitch receiver attached to said upper surface of each said terminal end, wherein said first 30 degree angle between said central collar and said receiver hitch attaching member allows for complete rotation of said cross arm member without said ball hitches coming into contact with said receiver hitch attaching member or said box receiver hitch while rotating said spindle for selection of one of said plurality of different sized ball hitches and implement hitch receiver, while said second 30 degree angle on each said arm presents said one ball hitch or implement hitch receiver directed away from said box receiver hitch in a horizontal plane for level towing. 5. The device, as disclosed in claim 4, wherein said cross arm member has an X shape and further provides three different sized ball hitches and an implement hitch receiver attached to four terminal ends on four arms and said 30 degree angles between the cylindrical collar and the receiver hitch attaching member and along each of the at least four arms are equal and opposite. 6. The device, as disclosed in claim 4, said cylindrical collar having said single transverse bore, while said shaft of said central spindle has two opposing transverse bores, each of said at least two transverse bores aligned with two opposing arms of said cross member, said transverse bore of said cylindrical collar perpendicular to said receiver hitch attaching member so that insertion of said locking pin is accomplished aside from said terminal end having said one ball hitch or implement hitch receiver being used for towing.
