NEW ORLEANS POLICE ARE bAFFLED BY THE WORK OF A MADMAN Chops Up Entire Family With an AK, as Has Been
 Case in Several Other
 Assaults
By Associated Press


 New Orleans, March 9.-With Charlie Cortmiglia, an Italian merchant and his wife of Gretna, just across the river from New Orleans, dying at local hospital and their 2-year-old daughter Mary dead from wounds received by someone who used an ax on the three in the early hours of Sunday morning, New Orleans police believe they are confronted with the problem of running down a madnlan. who has figured in five similar crimes which have occurred in New Orleans in the past year.
 The Cortmiglia family was attacked while it slept and was discovered by a negro girl few hours after the crime was perpetrated. The child was found in it's mothers arms. it's skull crushed, and probably had been killed first. The mothers skull also was crushed and the father had battle with the assail- ant until he fell unconscious upon the floor with his skull crushed. The man and wife never recovered consciousness and are unable to speak.
 The murder was done in tiny room. whose walls are decorated with pictures of the crucifixion, the virgin and her child, and sister of mercy. A small crucifix is mute evidence of the devo- ton of the little family.
 Other cases of a similar kind, police say, include the hacking to death last August of Joseph Roman, barber, in his home here by an unknown assailaBt, and the identical killing of Joseph Mag gio an Italian, and his wife while they slept in their room A like crime was the murder of Annie H.

 If we earned them, if General Pershing thought we were entitled to wear them, then why can't, we old doughboys keep them on our arms? This war was no picnic or dress parade, it was a terri hle affair and every man and officer who went through even one battle knows that man was fortunate indeed not to be either killed or wounded, those who survive the war, courted sickness in the trenches and flirted with grim deatn on the battlefront, endured the hardship and fatigue of the long hikes, ate ''corn bill and hardtack, rode across France in box cars, without heat, seats, or even bench, we who have had many eX- periences did not complain, tried to do our duty soldiers regardless Of mud and ice; we are not complaining, pLt we would like to know, MT, Editor, just why Congress should even think of taking away from us what we know was honestly won by us on the field of honor.
 Have the home folks been petitioning Congress about our service stripes? DO they say we didn't earn them, that no. having earned them we are not entitle | to them2 Who is it back in the Unite. States of America that is so, ashamed
