 Washington, Nov. 16-(UP)-Pres- ident Roosevelts criticism of Nazi treatment of religious groups applies to the German policy toward Cath olics as well as Jews, the White House stated today.
 Secretary Stephen T. Early noted that the presidents statement. in which he expressed himself as shocked at the treatment accorded certain minorities, was interpreted generally as meaning only the Jews. Such was not the presidents in- tention, he declared, referring Spe- officially to Nazi-inSpired attacks on Cardinal InnitZer in Vienna.
 Asked as to the reaction general ly to MT. Roosevelt'S statement, Early said the White House had re- ceived many telephone and telegraph messages.
 It was indicated that the presi- < dent would confer with Ambassador Hugh Wilson, American envoy to Germany, after he has made his re- port to the state department on his return to this country.
 Inasmuch as MT. Roosevelt will be absent from Washington from No vember 20 to December 6, there was apossibility that Wilson's conference might take place at Warm Springs, Georgia.
