HAMLIN GETS AN5WERED BY BOXERS DAD
William Mur rphY Says Manager Doesn't Know
 One Shoe from Other

Viciously defiant ana yer modest William Murphy today lay in his St. Ann's Hospital bed and penned reply to the challenge sent his son by Dean Hamlin.
 Hamlin, managing Billy McCann in his scheduled fight with Eddie Weaver on July 3, made aspirations two days ago as to Murphys being present at the bout.
 Tn reply to some of the wind MT Hamlin has been dishing out to the paper" states the old Mur- phys letter, there has never been a Murphy who has boxed in the squared circle in Juneau who has been afraid of his own shadow.
 If Hamlin thinks he has made a mistake by signing up McCann with Eddie instead of with Weaver. seems like the shoe is on the other foot. Eddie is doing no bragging All he has to say is he will do his best in the fight coming July B."
 Young Murphy, brother to the late Miles Murphy, who was once welterweight champion of Alaska, is now working at the Icy Straits Cannery at Hoonah, and has no manager.
 Fight fans, becoming eager for the July 3 battles, are wondering what Hamlin will have to say now and what Slugger Weaver will do about the challenge.

A 5O-CENT CAMPAIGN

He did get himself elected Com missioner of Montgomery County, where his 550-aere farm is located, and he did get the nomination to Congress, but he didn't use much politics.
 His first campaign cost him 50 cents for campaign cards, and his second couldn't have cost him much more. He doesn't like to make speeches. He's so modest that it's impossible for him to tell the crowd what swell Represen- tative he would make. He couldnt t even remind you that he used to be a pretty good pitcher without blushing
 He is Republican and anti New Deal, all right, but he can't get very mad about it. His political philosophy consists of something about "a return to the American way of life which apparently means to Walter the right of every man to plant his own pota- toes, hoe his own crop, and sell them for the best price he can get, without anybody putting in. He doesn't like government. spending on big scale either. That's about all, except he's so honest, he would argue with an umpire who mis- called a decision in his favor. In some respects, Walter might be almost as unique in Congress as he was on the mound If he does get in, he'll be interesting to watch, once his rookie days are over.

Multiple Draft Capsule Check
To Avoid Blank as in 1917

will be as follows: Every capsule
loader will be given a certain num-
ber of small paper slips, each bear
ing a draft serial number. Then
the loader will be handed exactly
the same number of capsules.
When each loader has completed
his task, obviously he should have
no capsules or slips of paper left. If
he does, then something went wrong
The capsules and the numbered
papers will be triple checked before
and after they go to the leaders and
triple checked before they go into
the glass container for drawing.
In 1917 the 10,0O4th capsule drawn
turned out to be empty-a blank.
Nobody could explain it. 1t was too
late to stop and start over, so after
a heavy pause, the drawing con-
tinued.

discovered the blank capsule should
have contained serial No. 1864.

Supervisory Employees
OF Army 10 Draw
Overtime Pay
Measure Authorizing
Privilege for Civilians
Signed by Roosevelt

Civilian supervisory employees OF
the War Department., especially
those at Army arsenals, may be ex-
tended the privilege Of drawing
time and a half for work in excess
of 40 hours a week under a bill
which became law yesterday with
President Roosevelt's signature.
Officials said the overtime pay
will be applied to those in the field
and in the Panama Canal Zone
and to such other employees EMU
merated in the bill as deemed neces-
sary from time to time within the
discretion of the department. Su-
pervisory employees heretofore have
been working on a 40-hour week,
per annum basis.
Purpose Of the bill, officials said,
was twofold. 1t was the intention
to reimburse these per annum en-
ployes for the large amount of
overtime required as result of the
rush of orders to arm, feed and
equip the expanding military forces
Equally important. 1t was said, the
bill is designed to overcome some
of the difficulties in hiring certain
types of skilled technical workers,
such as tool designers, of whom
there is a shortage.
Ordnance officials said it would
be tremendously beneficial in
speeding up work in the arsenals,
all of which are now swamped with
orders for munitions, guns and other
supplies. Generally the overtime
pay will be extended to design en-
gineers, craftsmen, tool designers
and foremen. Inspectors at facto-
ries engaged in filling Army orders
also are among those affected by
the bill. Their hours will conform
to the hours governing the opera
tions of individual plants at which
they are stationed.
Offlcials said it is very difficult to
hire a sufficient number of techni-
cal workers in some lines and to
train others in short time to fill
in on extra hours for certain kinds
of work.
Officials were unable to give any
estimate at this time of the number
of supervisory employees affected by
the bill. especially as there ap-
peared to be no intention of blan-
keting all of them in. Except for
the Panama Canal Zone, the bill
does not apply outside continental
United States.
