CINCINNATI, Aug. 15. -(A)-
Johnny Vander Meer's twelfth vic-'
tory of the year and his fourth in
succession sent Cincinnati into a
third-place tie with the idle Pitts-
burgh Pirates today as the Reds, held
to five hits, defeated Chicago 3 to 1.
The Cubs' lone run came on the
second ball pitched to Lou Stringer,
first man at the plate-a home run
that cleared the left field fence. The
Jersey southpaw had eight strike-
outs.
Until the fourth it appeared as if,
Eaves might emerge winner. Frank
McCormick blasted his tenth homer
of the year, however, to tie the score,
and in the fifth Jim Gleeson followed
with his season's third round-tripper
to give 1940's World Champs the'
edge.
The Reds added another ini the
seventh on Bill Werber's double and
Ernie Lombardi's single.

Van Wagoner ExpressesC
Concern Over Rising
Of State's Expenses/
LANSING, Aug. 15.-,P)-The jobt
of reducing state payroll costs was
laid in the lap of the Civil Servicet
Commission and Budget Director to-t
day by G6,vernor Van Wagoner, ex-
pressing concern over a "continual"r
increase in those payrolls.
"Year after year, the payrolls have
continued to rise," Van Wagoner'said.
"In the campaign I told the people
I would reduce payrolls by weeding
out the deadwood accumulated from
one administration to the other. Six
months of my administration have
elapsed and instead of payrolls going
down they are going up."
Payrolls Should Be Reduced
Chairman George J. Burke of the
Commission intimated the commis-
sion believed payrolls should be re-
duced whether promised or not. lie
said he felt the state was carrying
approximately 1,500 excess employes.
State Personnel Director Thomas J.
Wilson said response to his appeals
for a 10 per cent slash in jobs among
state departments had not been sat-
isfactory. Only 20 agencies replied at
all, he said, and only three had taken
any definite steps. The three, he
said, were the State Treasury, the
Board of Pharmacy, and the Social
Welfare department.
Suggestions To Cut Costs
Wilson , suggested the following
methods of curtailing costs:
Creation of central typing and
stenographic sections in departments
with more than four stenographers.
He said most large industries had one
transcriber for a dozen or more per-
sons dictating letters, while the state
had almost as many transcribers as
dictators. There is no need for each
section head in state offices to have
a private secretary, he declared.
Combining milk inspection work
done by the Department of Agricul-
ture and Department of Health.
Combining the jobs of Manager
and Cashier in most state liquor
stores.
Eliminating four auditors and two
stenographers in the welfare depart-
ment, transferring their work of aud-
iting county accounts to seven Audi-
