BY DOUGLAS LARSEN NEA Staff COrreSpOndent

Washington, Sept. 24.-Here are some general questions from men Il the service and their relatives:
 @. In a couple of weeks I will be discharged from the Army on points. I would like to re-enIist in the Navy. Will I have to be re- drafted again and take my chances, or can I enlist directly?
 A. You can enlist directly.
 c. My brother will soon be dis charged from the Army. Is there anything to prevent him being drafted again and put into the Navy where his points won't count?
 A. Selective Service has ruled that all men who have received an honorable discharge, or it's equivalent, from the armed forces are to be placed in Class l-C. They are not to be re-inducted unless they volunteer or unless their re- induction is authorized by the Di- rector of Selective Service.
 Q. My son is an air cadet In the Navy. He has 8 chance to get out. If he does get out will he be eligible for the benefits of the CT Bill of Rights?
 A. This way of getting out of the service will not bar him from the CT Benefits. He will be eli- gible if he meets the other quail fications.
 Q. Since the first announcement on the point system l have had a baby and my husband has had a birthday. These things have given him about fifty points. He now writes me, however. that he is go. ing overseas. I thought they weren't going to send men over with more than 45 points. How can you sx- plain this?
 A. The 45-point limitation was set as the first May l2 compila- ton of points. It doesn't make any difference how many he has got- ten since then.

Margaret, then l6, was the eldest. She had taken over the housekeeping. Mother had been sick so much, she said, that I practically had been doing 1t right along anyway.
