FIRST FEDERAL OVER
$|i/2 MILLION MARK
On September 10 the First
Federal Savings and Loan of
Anchorage crossed the $1,500,000
mark in total resources, Ross
Kinnamon, president, announced.
“Five months to the day from
our opening on April 10 we es
tablished this record, which I be
lieve is a new high in the federal
savings and loan field," Kinna
mon said.
“The usefulness of a Federal
savings and loan association in
Anchorage has been clearly es
tablished by the response of Al
askans to three percent savings
at First Federal, and the large
demand for high-class mortgage
loans by home owners and resi
dents who desire to buy homes,”
he added.

Democrat Says “Let
The Record Speak”
“Let the record speak” was
the advice given by Felix Toner
in a statement issued at Juneau
assailing “irresponsible” charges
made by the Republican candi
date for Delegate to Congress.
Toner, chairman of the Demo
cratic Central Committee, re
plied to charges of non-perfor
mance made by the Republican
candidate against the Demo
cratic party and Delegate E. L.
Bartlett in respect to road appro
priations.
“In all the years the Alaska
Road Commission has operated,
first under the War Department
and then under the Interior De
partment through the fiscal year
1945 there was appropriated $27,
100,372. The ARC was created in
1905. That averages out as an
annual appropriation of about
$677,500.” Toner said
“Bartlett went to Congress in
1945. Since then the appropria
tions have totalled $156,342,600.
That averages out as an annual
appropriation of about $13,000,
000. Is that non-performance?”,
he asked.
Toner also pointed out that it
was under Democratic auspices
that the Congress this year
brought Alaska within the Fed
eral Highway System. The am
endment bringing that about, ac
cording to Toner, was offered by
Senator Richard L. Neuberger,
Democrat, of Oregon and was
strongly supported by Delegate
Bartlett. This action came about,
Toner stated, after the Interior
Department had failed to make
any recommendation which
would have included Alaska in
the system.
