When a person is entered more than once in a source how do you enter that? See William Duncan Lofton Jr. 9CD9-CQ2

    Presumably you're talking about how the emergency contact and the employer are the same person, namely the draft registrant's (same-named) father? (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C3MH-R9RY-B)

    You'll need to make use of the "change person" links on both sides of Source Linker. First, use the one on the left (the index side) to choose one of the indexed fathers, then use the one on the right (the tree side) to choose the father's profile. (The easiest way to do that is by ID.) This will line things up so you can attach one of the index entries. Then lather, rinse, repeat to do the other entry.

    Unfortunately that doesn't work. It is easy to add to first person to the father but when you go to add the second person it will show that there is someone already attached and won't let you add another one. Should I just dismiss the second?

    It looks like all attachments have been made.
