Indianapolis, July 30-(UP) = Scenes in Chicago's basement morgue when thousands rioted last week to see John Dillinger's bullet riddled body were paralleled today when new thousands stormed an Indianapolis theater. On exhibi- tion was Dillinger's family-his TO- year old Quaker father, his sister, his brother-in-law and his half brother. They expected to receive enough from the thousands of dol lars pouring into the box office to pay for Johns funeral. The audi ences were sympathetic.
 We didn't have enough money to pay for Johns burial and decid- ed this was the best way to get it, v explained John Dillinger, Sr., from the stage. The crowd applauded. Was Johns death terrible shock to you, MT Dillinger?" asked a prompter. Ut was," the elderly farmer replied. His stage voice, was good. But I'd been expecting it, of course. 1 didn't like the way it happened" The audiences ap- plauded again.
 The old man made his appear ance ,n shirt sleeves. Obviously new suspenders and slicked hair were his only apparent prepara- tion. His questioner followed a prepared routine at each perform ance but did not always elicit the same responses. The first audience laughed boisterously yesterday when the old man refused to tell his age. He was obviously embar- rassed when it was pointed out that hundreds of newspapers chronicled his roth birthday last week. In subsequent performances his reply was prompt.
 Mrs Audrey Hancock, sister of the outlaw, was stricken with stage fright, especially at a performance attended by a large delegation of friends from Mooresville, Dillin- gers home town. She was dressed in black and told solemnly of young Johns life from the time

 There have always been men of high integrity and excellent eXecu- tive ability in the republican party" he said, but the party has always been short on statesman ship and never more strikinSy than during the period from 1921 to 1892"
 The secretary charged that these years republican leaders "steadfastly refused to sec that the market for the 50,000. O0O acres, which had been put into crops during the war. had been destroyed by a sudden change from ! debtor to a creditor nation"
