Lions Club Told Benefits of Ads 'Sparkplugs of Our Standard of Living' Eugene Lions were told Wed nesday that advertising is the "fire in the belly" of American business, George Griffis, director of the Pacific National Advertising Agency's Portland office, was speaker at the group's weekly meeting in the Eugene Hotel. By "fire in the belly" he said he meant a spirit of rebellion against sales markets as they are. "This spirit," he declared, "is the spark plug of a system that has brought the world's highest standard of living to America." "Advertising," he said, "tells a manufacturer's story fast and ef ficiently and makes mass produc tion possible." The man in the woods who builds a better mousetrap and waits for the world to beat a path to his door will have to ask $1 for each mousetrap from the few who find his place, Griffis said by way of illustration. But, he added, the man who ad vertises his mousetrap will be able to sell it for 25 cents, allowing 1 cent of that for advertising, be cause of the big demand he will have for his product. Of the 65 million persons in the U.S. who are gainfully employed, Griffis said that only 35 million are engaged in jobs which would still exist in our economy was cut back to the bare essentials of pro viding only minimum food, cloth. ing and shelter. The rest of the jobs, he declared, are the result of advertising "which creates an ever widening circle of wants and gives us the money and leisure to fill them."

Russian Threat Seen in Alaska WASHINGTON (IP) Rep. Dorn (D-SC) believes that Russia has enough large air bases and heavy troop concentrations close to Alaska to enable them to land 100,000 troops on Kiska in the Aleutian Islands. In a House speech Thursday, Dorn said he was told while in Alaska last year that 20 Russian planes were seen in one forma tion in sight of U. S. Territory in Alaska. Tf Pnccla eoirrorl nna airtialA In! Alaska, he said, Minneapolis, Chi, cago, Detroit and the industrial midwest would immediately be open to atomic attack by the Reds The closest common boundary between Russia and the United States, he said, is in the Bering Sea off the coast of Alaska, and "we must make Alaska impreg nable to attack." Dorn said a Soviet attack on Alaska would immediately require the rushing of large numbers of United States troops and most of our Air Force to that territory, "any you would lose Europe and the Far East simultaneously." He said there is no doubt in his mind that if Japan could land 5, 000 men on Kiska, as it did in the last war, Russia could land 100,-000.

"THIS is an election year and when I came to Washington my wife warned me that I would be like a new boy going to school and would be getting hazed.
