PAGE TWELVE Father and Son Other Children Seriously Hurt . In Tragedy Near Woodburn : ' .'. " ; ' By 8. Boyd Hilton WOODBURN, Ore., Sept 25 Family controversies of long standing today had put a father and son in the Ringo Mortuary in Woodburn and three younger children in Salem Deaconess hospital following a Sunday morning battle in the small country home of the family on Winslow road about two miles northwest of Woodbuxh. '. " !;;,., ri The dead are Louis Bryan Bauman, 47, wood dealer, and his ; son, Carl, aged 16. . .Children in the hospital with bad body bruises, lacerations and possible fractures are: Betty, 15; Margaret, 13; and Donald, 8. These children were beaten with a bridge bolt about 18 inches in length and aa inch in diameter. Until the children can "talk, the immediate cause of the shooting is .undeter mined. . . . .. , . The story of the Sunday morn ing row spread from the home to the countryside . when Margaret ran out in her bare feet, with only a nightgown tq ; cover her, to inform "neighbors. "Father killed " and could get no further as her, swollen lips rebelled at fur ther utterance. Reaching for a piece of paper in the home of Mrs. Pearl Bank er where she fled, after her bro ther, Carl, had been shot, the child wrote -Father killed CarV Drama Unfolded ' , Sensing the drama about to be unfolded when Margaret Bauman, 14, staggered into her home Sun day morning shortly after 7 a. m., Mrsr Banker, of Winslow road, about two miles north of Wood burn, tried to make the badly beaten child comfortable. Injury prevented the child from ; telling immediately the story of her bro ther Carl's death, assertedly at the hands of her father, and ig norance of the facts revealed al so that her father at possibly that moment , was dying from self in flicted wounds. Mrs. Banker spread a coat for the bleeding and bruised girl and when the child attempted to rest the bruises were so. painful that Mrs. Banker offered her a chair, according to Grace Banker, 17-year-old daughter. She was' too weak to sit in a chair and final ly rested in a corner of the room. It was terrible," Mis Banker said, "and we were frightened be cause we were afraid he, Bau man, would come to our house looking for his daughter. We went to the home of our neighbor, Mau rice Spagle, who had just returned home for a furlough. He said he would go for an officer. Officers Called j "When I learned Bauman had shot his son I didn't feel like go ing into his home," Spagle told The Statesman, "and decided to go to Woodburn for an officer. On the way I met H. K. Sargent and he directed me to the home of Del Coyner, city marshal. He also ac companied us back to the Bauman home. - ' - . -: ' "When we arrived, Sargent and I remained outside while Marshal Coyner knocked on the door. He was ready for any eventuality. When he got no response to his knock, Coyner opened the door and entered. In a minute he called to us to come in," saying Bauman had shot his son and killed him self. .. '.;;' . . "Sargent and I went into the house and Carl was lying on the floor between two beds. He had been shot in the side of the head, just above the ear, and his head was practically torn off. . -The elder Bauman was lying on a davenport with a gaping hole in his chest just over the area of the heart A bolt action shotgun, one of a variety I have never seen before, lay about two feet from the dead man. It was a cruesome sight for me, home for a brief visit with my wife and new daugh ter in what probably will be mv last leave until the war is over." Investigation Opened - While these three men were in tne Home the state police arrived and opened a second investigation "into the tragedy. In the midst of the probe the child1, Margaret who had gone to the Banker home to as for help, returned to the home -and calmly tucked - herself into bed with her badly beaten sister and little brother. II- K. Sargent7 viewing the scene before the arrival of Dr. L. E. Bar- nck, Marion county coroner, said the father was fully clothed with me exception of his shoes and socks. The youth, he said, was at tired only in his night clothes. Attorney T. C Gorman, justice i peace in Woodburn, related a "background of tragedy. On Sept 9, 1942, Bauman was sentenced to jail for a year for threatening w commit a Xeiony, which spe- . cincaiiy charged Bauman with Scotts Mills Visitors f SCOTTS MILLS Mr. and Mrs. F. M.

Hitler Surrender? Anrvst 1, 1944 I doubt if we have a V-daT. We are more likely to have wwv-days. We have been think ing in terms of 1918 when the German high command formally besought a general armistice, as the kaiser fled to Holland. It Is not probable that this will occur in this war. Hitler will not sur render. He will retreat to his mountain home, perhaps commit suicide; but he will not authorize general capitulation to the in vading armies. No other compe tent civil authority exists which can surrender in the name of the German people. The recent purge will serve to prevent a surrender by the high command of the ar my. What we will see Is the dis integration of the German armies, surrender piecemeal. HOW THE GERMAN '-;- --. September tr.l.-,,.. I do not -think enough attention has been given to the deteriora tion of German generalship in connection with .the debacle in France. ... the conclusion seems in escapable that the German gen erals failed in thev crisis. Both in the first world war and now in the "second.' when . their initial burst failed to bring decision they proved Incapable of sustain ing the war to final: victory. In this war both Russian and Brit ish and American generals have showed greater ability in the con duct of large-scale warfare. . OTP 933IDB UCDiliDCg OTP 8QQDDQS One ol the numerous featurei which make The Statetsum one : ol Oregon's greatest papers BT CARRIER, 7Sc Per Konth Phono - Statement of Elmer Davis, Director of OWL Sept M . It Is quite possible that there will be no single day which can be called the end of the war with Germany. Instead of a surrender en masse, the German armies may gradually disintegrate and surren der piecemeal. If there should be a general surrender, headquar ters of the allied expeditionary force will be the first to know it Business Week, Sept 9, 1944 No White'Hast And yet, de spite all the signs of early Nazi defeat, there is a growing con viction in both this country and Britain that the European war. may not end with a formal sur-. render by the Germans, and the conventional armistice. Instead, fanatical Nazis may succeed in preventing any new leaders from taking over the reins of government and offering to ac cept Allied terms of uncondition al surrender; and these Nazis may even form 'small pockets of re sistance long after formal battles are over and a 'military govern ment has. ' been installed in ths Reich. GOOD ARE GENERALS? DeWItt MacKenzie - AP War Analyst " ;.V( - Sept. 11 -y7 : ." There are, of course, many rea sons for our success but an im portant one is the superior skill of Allied generals who at decisive' moments Have outsmarted the best brains that Prussianism could produce. In recording this we get double satisfaction from the fact that German military leadership, taking it by and large, always has been of high order. I ' One doesn't make such a claim lightly, and before setting it down in this column I checked it against the observations of my friend Brigadier General Horace Sewell, the distinguished British military expert He was, by . the way. the youngest brigadier in the British army in the last war and holds high decorations.-' , - Sewell concurred without reser- -vation. He agreed, too, that one outstanding reason for Allied su periority is the relative Inflexibili ty of the German mind. It works along well defined lines a power ful and smoothly running ma chine, but in a groove. -; - Unique! Original! Exclusive in The ' Statesman every day. ueomaQ BY MAIL J GOc Per Month , 9101 1
