 In fact opposition to conscrip- ton seems to be one thing upon which churches of almost every denomination agree, and this is probably the first time that both Catholic and Methodists have worked together on 8 vital legis- lative issue.
 Catholic opposition to conscrip- tion has been expressed by Mon signor Michael J. Ready, who is circulating a statement from the Catholic Bishops; and from F'a- ther Barry OToole, who ex- pressed the opposition of the Ma tional Catholic Welfare Council. Archbishop John T. McNicholas of Cincinnati also has circulated a pastoral letter urging opposi- ton to the bill.
 Protestant opposition has come from Charles Boss, whose organ ization is supposed to represent S,O00,000 Methodists; Bishop Will liam A. Lawrence, speaking for 8 group inside the Episcopal Church; and also from the Fed- eral Council of Churches, the overall Protestant body.
 Outside the church groups the Farmers Union in several states has registred opposition, also the Railroad BrotherhOOds. Also, this opposition to conscription is about the only thing John L. Lewis and Bill Green have agreed upon for months.
 Note-However, it is an ines capable fact that these very we'll meaning and sincere groups are being used, at least in part, by a militant backstage group of pro Nazi, Bundite isolationists to serve their own interests.
 WILLKIE'S TECHNIQUE
 Few of the newsmeh covering Wendell Willkie have seen anyone given so quick and complete a brush-off as George Peek, one- time AAA administrator, who broke with Henry Wallace and Cordell Hull over the farm pro- gram and eventually was edged out of the New Deal.
 Peek brought to Colorado Springs a prepared statement which he read to the press. But MT. Willkie stood behind him, and at one point in his rendition, Willkie turned to the newsmen and said:
 what are you boys doing
 tonight?"
 Peek dashed like mad through the remainder of his statement, then walked out as unhappily as he left during the early days of the Roosevelt Administration.
 John Hamilton and Joe Mar tin got almost the same treatment when they arrived in Colorado Springs. Martin attended press conference and answered questions in the same manner he has for years as majority Republican lead- CT in Congress. But Willkie would interrupt by interpreting what Martin meant to say.
 "I don't mean to interrupt
 you, Joe," the candidate would
 put in, "but this is the way interpret what you mean" vS. HOLT
 After Senators Minton and Holt had verbally exchanged foul blows in the Senate debate on conscrip- ton, a transcript of their remarks was sent to each of them by the official reporters, before printing in the Congressional Record.
 This gave the speakers chance to moderate their strong language, If they desired. Both men re- turned the copy sheets unaltered. And since the official reporters take no liberties with personal re- marks tossed about in the Senate, they were printed as spoken.

 CTS: We make no changes in foul language in the Senate so
