Your GI Rights
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Staff Correspondent

Washington, Dec. 27.-Here are some questions on the return of men still overseas:
 0. read in the papers that all American troops will be out of Europe, except occupation and mop-up troops, by the end of January. My husband has been in the Army 30 months, overseas 12 months, has AZ points as of Sep tember 2. Since he isn't in the Oc- cupatiOn Army, does this mean I can expect him home some time in February or March?
 A. His best chance of getting home at that time is the Army's promise of plan to discharge two year men beginning in late March.
 0. My husband is stationed with the 6266th Machine Record Unit Det., Ft. Shafter, Hawaii. He has only 30 points. Is there chance he may be reasSigned in the States or must he remain there until eligible for discharge?
 A. Low point men are unlikely to be sent home as long as there are jobs for them overseas.
 Q. Could you tell me present To- cation of the 927th Artillery Divi- sion?
 A. There is no 927th Artillery Di- vision, but the 927th Field Artillery Battalion is reported at Waltershau- sen, Germany, apparently on oc- cupation duty.
 o. It is important that I get the location of the 475th Infantry and the 3298th Ordnance. Can you tell me where they are?
 A. The 3298th Ordnance Depot is reported at Chanyi, China, except for a detachment at Kweiyang, China. There is nothing available about this outfit. There is no 475th Infantry listed in War Department records.
