Tax Foundation Says
 Wagner Bill Obscure
Enactment of Proposed Measure Will Raise Social
 Security Program Over Total l94O Federal Budget

The Wagner Murray bill, says the report, could put the federal gov- ernment with its powers of subsidy in the health insurance business. Not only would this competition prove fatal to private insurance companies now offering hospital, ac- cident and disability coverage, but it might also lead to ultimate re- peal of state workmen's compensa- tion laws.
 The percentages of total accred- tied workers as of the 1942-43 fis- cal year are shown as follows:
 California can pay 30.69 per cent of its 3,333, ,000 covered workers $40 weekly for A weeks; Connecticut, 3296 per cent of it's 899.000 workers $22 weekly for IS weeks; Illinois, 3950 per cent of it's 3,172,000 work CTS $20 weekly for 76 weeks; Il- diana, 33.01 per cent of its 233,- 900 workers SIS weekly for IS weeks: Massachusetts 28.63 per cent of it's 1,736, 900 workers SIS weekly for 20 weeks; New Jersey, 57.32 per cent of it's 1,755, 900 workers SIS weekly for IS weeks; New York, 31.54 per. cent of it's 5,787,000 workers SIS weekly for 20 weeks; Ohio 42.79 per cent of it's 2,865, ,00O workers $16 weekly for IS weeks; Pennsylvania, 41.08 per cent of its 4,014y000 work CTS SIS weekly for 16 wekes; Texas 29.40 pier cent of it's 1,660, 900 work CTS $15 weekly for 16 weeks; Wasll- intgon, 45.80 per cent of its 863, 900 workers $15 weekly for 16 weeks.

New York, Dec. 1-Enactment of the proposed Wagner-Murray bill will raise the costs of the social security program to level of more than $11 billion in 15 years, or more than the total federal budget in 1940, according to a report just published by the Tax Foundation This would be nearly five times the amount spent by all levels of gov- ernment for public education in $1940 and $4 billion more than we spent on national defense in the fiscal year 1941. By contrast, it is estimated that the present social security program will cost about $4 billion by 1860.
 Entitled Social Security, Its Present and Future Fiscal Aspects" the report is the summary of an intensive, objective study begun in the summer of 1943 by the research staff of the Tax Foundation directed by Dr. Harley L. Lutz, Professor of Public Finance, Prince ton University. Professor Arthur R. Tebbutt of Northwestern Uni- versity organized statistical pro- cedures on which the study's estimates of cost are based.
 The Wagner bill, the report says. lis obscure and difficult of clear interpretation. It would make ex- tensive changes but there has been no explanation, and no supporting material that would indicate proper consideration of many important matters which should be canvassed before such far-reaching changes are made"
 Some of the new problems raised are:
 l. Serious questions oi admins tration arising from the fact that the Wagner bill extends coverage to farm labor and domestic ser- wants.
 ?. The problem of the farmer, for example, who will be required to withhold 6 per cent of farm wages paid up to $3,000, to match that by putting up another per cent as an employer, and as a self employed person, he required to pay per cent of the fair value of his own services.
 3. Difficulties of administrative control in the case of benefits fol temporary and permanent disabI- ity.
 One of the biggest costs under the Wagner bill, according to the report, would be for medical ano Ihospitalization benefits. Even though per cent of all taxable wages would be allocated for this pur- pose by 1850, subsidy of 827 mil lion dollars would be required iron the taxpayer. Sa$
