Accountant Head
Detroit Guest
Sees Urgent Need
for Low Unit Costs

Low unit costs of manufactur-
ing is the only foundation which
may be expected to support a
free enterprise system and insure
jobs at good wages for all who
are willing to work. Martin A.
Moore. president of the National
Association of Cost Accountants,
told a meeting Of the Detroit
chapter.
Moore, controller of the Hyatt
Bearings Division of the General
Motors Corp, told the meeting in
the Detroit-Leland Hotel that no
postwar plans for American in
dustry can be complete unless
adequate consideration is given
Reinstatement of advanced tech
niques for cost control and cost
reduction"
There In no royal road to the
postwar objective Of maximum
production and employment"
Moore said. Low unit costs IL
the only answer. This has been
the traditional approach TO
more and better products at
lower prices
Pointing out The difficulties or
maintaining an adequate cost con-
troll program in a war economy,
Moore went on 10 say that top
management must 60 back TO cost
control and effective operating
procedures for the tough. low
cost. competitive era that will
follow the war"
He stressed training supervisory
personnel in advanced cost con-
troll procedures and said that the
industrial accountant has the i'm
portant responsibility Of helping
management in this training and
in selling the philosophy OF cost
reduction 10 all employees.

the heart deeply with it's report that
even squalor can be sprinkled with
stardust if the humans involved are
little girl growing up in the slums
may or may not be autobiographical.
1t makes small difference. 1t is a
brave, bright tale of the spirit of
wonderful child who climbed to the
top of chaos and found the stars.
Twentieth Century-FoXs foray
into the slums of Brooklyn does not
have all the detail of Miss Smiths
novel on which it is based. If any
thing. however, it is the better for
the tightening. The distillate, for
once, is dramatically clear and rich
and we doubt that even a Brooklyn
lite can find cause for complaint.
It is no easy thing to put ones
finger on the outstanding single ele-
ment of "A Tree Grows in Brook
lvn." 1t could be James Dunn in the
role of the pixilated papa. Or Dor
othy Mcclure as the bewildered
mother of the Nolans, creature in
passionate revolt against poverty
Or it might be Joan Blondell as way
ward Aunt Cissie We think that it
is none of these, however, but
rather Peggy Ann Garner, the plain,
scrubbed. leggy child whose one
touch of beauty is the light of
dreams in her eyes as she imperson-
ates Francie. 1t is superb bit of
acting that meets every require
ment of long, complex role; GEM
like thing that grows in the center
of Miss Smiths heart warming mar
rative.

horizon, but when it became un-
bearable, she looked up. When she
| forgot to do so of her own volition,
her singing-waiter father, who rare
| ly worked and nearly always drank
too much, would remind her. 1t was
way to escape the duty of collect
ing scrap iron and scrap paper and
selling it to pinch-penny junkman
for few dirty coins, half of which
had to be saved for a rainy day.
1t was way to forget the embar-
rasSment of buying three day old
bread and of tricking the butcher
into making the hamburger by
Mother Katie Nolans standards in
stead of his own.
But most of all, between their two
imaeinationS, Francie and her blar-
neying father worked out relation
ship in which his shiftlessness and
awful futility could be forgotten.
His songs could make her feel like a
princess, which was his name for her,
and they could make her forget the
wretchedness of the life her once
pretty mother lived with Johnny
The pathos of "A Tree Grows in
Brooklyn" is unvarnished, but it is
never maWkish or overdone The
relationship between the Nolans,
as between father and daughter,
is faced with the candor dictated
by its grinding poverty But the point
always is there that bond exists
which will enable them to weather
whatever cold winds blow upon
them.
Life was not always poignant for
the Nolans. Miss Smith wrote, and
the film reiterates it. There was

There was that Christmas party,
the acquisition of the tree and its
decoration, and the sentimental in

class Brooklyn a few streets away

All these dramatic events are
tucked into the film at the Palace

be praised, even bushy haired young
