New York, July 23- (UP)- Selling orders from every section of the country romped into the stock market today, bringing the greatest activity in several weeks with prices plunging downward.
 Rumors, gossip and general bearishness combined to make traders nervous and send selling orders into the market. In addition numerous accounts, impaired by the steady drain on prices in the last few sessions, were undermargined and sold out.
 Accounting departments of brok- craze offices worked busily over the brokerage sheets, sending out new calls. Many traders, vacation ing now, reportedly were permit ting their accounts to be sold out rather than risk new money on long holdings already gone stale.

Father or Dillinger Was Broken Old Man To-day

Dillinger was freed from the Lima jail by Pierpont and other Dillin- ger gangStcrs.
 They didn't give him a break" :" said Mary.
 She was still dressed in the clothes she had worn to a dance in Indianapolis.
 Johnny was grand kid. didn't want him to go like that. What shock it will be to Harry (Pierpont) and Makley."
 Mackley is also waiting death penalty in Ohio for Sheriff Sarber's murder.
 Mrs Hancock and Dillinger's father were the only ones who wept.
 Johnny was my brother," Mrs Hancock said.
 Except for the time he spent in prison l used to bake him a cake for his birthday every year."
 After a while the elder Dillin- ger regained his composure al- though his voice still was shaky.
 My crops haven't been so good and I've been worried about John.
 But I guess the federal men and state police won't. be watching us any more."
 Several neighbors came to the farm house and they learned that Dillinger was dead. Mrs Hancock said she didn't know most of them.
 q guess they mean we'll but wish that they would go away and leave dad alone"

that they had "talked' as the price of freedom.
 True Story Of End
 It was by facts concealed, ra- ther than those revealed, that the inquest witnesses told the true story of Dillinger's end.
 Samuel P. Crowley, special agent and assistant to Purvis, gave the most detail to the jury of six men. He told of the first tip" last night that Dillinger would at- tend the Biograph, lured from hiding by play of crime, Man haitian Melodrama."
 ''Who gave that tip?" asked Coroner Frank J. Walsh.
 I am unable to give that infor- mation,' replied. Crowley.
 Do you mean you do not know ?"
 q know, but I cannot reveal it.
 Crowley told then of nasty prep arations for an ambush. Police of East Chicago, Ind, participated, he said, because they were. instru- mental in obtaining the all impor-
 When Dillinger came out he spotted some of us," he said. "He reached for a pocket. Purvis said "come on, fellows" We all fired I gness, and after running a ways Dillinger fell"
 Walsh asked Crowley whether Dillinger was accompanied by woman when he left the theater.
 "To protect our souree," Crowley said, 1T must refuse to answer"
 That ended Crowley's testimony.
 He was followed by special a. gent Earl Richmond, who told of Identification of Dillinger's body by fingerprints, lesible despite appar- ent attempts to deface the finger markings with acid.
 The only other witness was John J. Butler, chief clerk of the coroner's office, who identified the body in routine matter as that of the case in question. The jury de- liberated less than three minutes.
 Police Tip Is Mystery.
 Chicago, July 23- (UP)-The tip to federal officials that led to the killing of John Dillinger ap- parently came from woman through police of East Chicago.
 Federal agents refused to com- ment when asked if one of two women-one in a conspicuous Red dress-who accompanied Dillinger to movie theater where he was shot, had put the finger of the out law. However, it was significant that the two women fled without interference from officials after the shooting.
 In addition, the coronors jury was told by federal agent that "to protect our source' the agent could not comment on whatever two women accompanied Dillinger.
 Added to this information, was the statement of Chief Federal In- vestigator Melvin H. Purvis; women led Dillinger to his grave

GERMANY TOLD ABOUT AUSTRIA
Italy Warns That Nazi
 Must Keep Hands Off the Austrians

Rome, July 23.-(UP)-Immedi- ate cessation of acts of Nazi ter rorism in Austria is the price of continued Italian friendship for Nazi Germany, 1t was learned auth oritatively to-day.
 From to-day onward, it was said, the German government itself and not merely Nazi party agents as Munich, down near the Austrian frontier, would be held directly re- sponsible for terrorism.
 Premier Benito Mussolini, reli- able government circles said, has lost patience with the German gov- ernment because of Nazi interfer- ence with Austria. It was recalled that when Chancellor Adolf Hitler visited Mussolini recently the Italian premier advised him earn estly to adopt hands-off Austrian policy. It was understood that Hitler agreed, and much was made of the possibility of renewed Aus trian-G erman friendship.
 Since then however and particu- larly since the storm troop revolt. Nazi terrorists have been active throughout Austria.
 Word was that the more intense Na1i terrorism was in Austria, the closer would be the friendship of Mussolini for Chancellor Englebert Dollfuss who is to join II Duce this week at Riccione for family visit. Dollfuss' wife and children already are at Riccione with Signora Mus solini.
 It was said to be possible that Italy would make formal protest to the German government against Nazi terrorism. Meantime the government through newspapers and other mediums is making its attitude clear, and it is understood that foreign governments are being encouraged to join Italy in firm dis approval of terrorism.

agents separated him from the crowd.
 Coroner Wrote "Finis''
 Today, as Dillinger's body lay in the morgue, coroner's jury wrote 'finis'' to his career, but the agents of the government pressed steadily misunderstanding along the outlaw S trail to find whatever bank robbery loot he may have cached and to bring to justice half dozen rotor- ious criminals who aided him in the most widespread and desperate depredations of modern criminal history.
 Purvis and his men, who had been tipped off to Dillinger's plan to attend the theater, apparently had much information on which, to work. Someone speculation pointed to a jealous woman-told them where to find the outlaw. That source and others they al- ready had uncovered in the long search for Dillinger were expected to aid them.
 Keys May Reveal Loot
 In addition, they found two keys in Dillinger's pockets, which yield ed S7.S1 in cash. These keys may aid, Purvis said, in the search for loot.
 we have new information to cover his backward trail and we may find almost anything" Purvis said.
 Dillinger's life history waSended in the books of the law when in a drab coroner's office just removed from the ice-tilled vault where Dill fingers body lay, a solemn jury wrote the last chapter.
 Unsuitable homicide by officers of the federal government" was the verdict.
 The man who ran him down was not present, the man whose bullet killed him was not named and the informant who led him to his death was not mentioned.
 Secrets Are Guarded
 The entire investigation of the life of the man who was sought for months lasted less than 20 minutes and federal agents carefully guard ed their secrets in the discovery and killing of Dillinger.
 For months Purvis had sought and questioned the women of Dill fingers gang. He concentrated on that quest almost to exclusion of an actual search for the ultimate quarry.
 At one time, an informant said today, federal agents held six women known to have associated with Dillinger. John Hamilton. George (Baby Face) Nelson and others of the killing crew that fol- lowed the ace desperado.
 Finally the plan bore fruit
 Reports of the way the "tipster" made contact with the federal agents differed, but every fact pointed inescapably to the fact that it was woman.
 Woman Fled Away
 With Dillinger when he grabbed for a gun in the face of IT threat ening officers was a woman-some said two women. One. at least, was flashingly dressed in red dress.
 Despite her conspicuous dress and the fact that the agents were warned, she escaped without pursuit while Dillinger fell in a hail of bullets.
 Purvs smiled but refused to comment when it was suggested that the red dress may have been chosen deliberately. DillinSer might have been missed in the crowd entering and leaving the theater. A crimson dress was ines capable.
 In two months the government has arrested six women of the gang. Two are in federal prison, two are free on probation. Two more were arrested here and freed.

 ON BLACK LIST
Priest Spokesman for Car= dinal O'COnnell Gave
 Out Names Yesterday

Boston, July 23-(UP)-Eleve prominent actors and actresses and the types of roles they portray from time to time" had been listed today by the Rev Russell M. Sullivan, s. J.. spokesman for Will liam Cardinal O'Connell, to sup port charge that the motion pie ture industry uses its beSt-known stars to glorify immortality. Father Sullivan, speaking to a New Eng land audience during the Catholic truth broadcast, called upon Holly wood for self-reform and self censorship, and challenged Will Hays ito join the campaign of decency." He accused producers of using:
 Mae West to portray "the word- ly wise. sophisticated vulgarian who climbed the ladder of success wrong by wrong"
 Joan Crawford to teach little kept women."
 Barbara Stanwyck and Helen Twelvetrees to show them "the up- lifting ways Of fallen Women.'
 Jean Harlow and Clara Bow to teach the alluring attractiveness of partial nakedness.'
 George Raft and George Ban- croft to glorify the admirable courage of murderous gangsters."
 Clark Gable and William Haines to show the way of insidious male lure"
 Adolphe Menjou to teach young men the gentlemanly ways of rake."
 Father Sullivan called on Hays to appoint local censors for the film distributing centers, who would have authority to delete ob- jectionable scenes and thus present imposition of a threatened boycott which will begin locally against objectionable films on July 31.
