Outlining changes he believes should be made in present laws, of a comparatively simple nature. Folsom, a member of the New York State Advisory Counsel on loyment Compensation, speaking on "Social Security in tha Post-War Period," in the University of Rochester lecture series yesterday, continued; "The Murray-Wagner-Dlngell bill now before Congress is not In my opinion the right solution. At present, we have a sound old-age Insurance system and co-operative federal-state systems of unemployment compensation. Under the proposed bill, the state systems would all be brought together int one federal unemployment -compensation system. "In addition, there would be a federal system to provide cash benefits for illness, medical car to those sick, hospital insurance, and total and permanent disability benefits.

"This greatly enlarged program would be financed by additional payroll taxes on the buaines and on the employes. At present, the business and the employes each pay 1 per cent for old age insurance and the business pays all the cost of unemployment Insurance, with a maximum of 3 per cent of the payroll. Under the proposed bill, taxes would be increased to 6 per cent for the business and 6 per cent for the employes."
