Chances Good For Discharge WASHINGTON, May 7 (UP) —Military observers here believed today that most soldiers who went overseas before or during early 1943 stand a pretty good chance of being discharged after V-E Day. The real situation won’t be known until the army’s pointsystem is made public. Men will receive points based on length and type of service, wounds and medals and dependency. Those with the most points .vill be the ones selected for dismissal if they’re not essential to the war

with Japan.

Here are a few clues to guide I GI's and their families in sizing up the situation as far as length

of service goes.

At the start of 1943 there were about 1,500,000 soldiers overseas. Since the army expects there will be more than 1,300,000 men discharged in a year's time under the point system, it seems reasonable to believe that I most soldiers with overseas ex- | perience who were in the army before Pearl Harbor, and those who went overseas by the first j of 1943, will be eligible. In addition there already has been a reduction of t'-.e latter group due to casualties and dis- 1

charges.

So it would seem a good many who got overseas during the first part of 193 should be in line. It would be a pure guess, but those with considerable combat experience who were overseas up to the end of the Guadalcanal cam^paign in the Pacific and the landings on Salerno in Italy would have good prospects If they had a few points for dependents and honors thrown in.
