Please note the variation in dates and reliability of the information, Several important manu-facturers refuse to give out, confirm, or comment on any figures,
Our census seeks to include all digital computers manufactured any-where. We invite all manufacturers located anywhere to submit infor-mation for this census, We invite all our readers to submit informa-tion that would help make these figures as accurate and complete as possible.
Part I of the Monthly Computer Census contains reports for United States manufacturers. Part II contains reports for manufacturers outside of the United States. The two parts are published in alter-nate months,

THE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DIVISION OF THE lack of adequate financial support.
This is the division that includes computers and data processing, and all the periodicals serving the field of computers and data processing.
"Thi s cu tback is part of a li brary-wide program caused by reduced government budget allocations and increase of costs." The Library is short over
$1,000,000; the necessary expenditure cuts can only be achieved by "curtailment of public service." "Cur-tailment of public service", I have learned, includes

It may be that handwriting reveals personality (which I believe is likely to some extent) - or that creases in the palm of one's hand reveal one's past and future life (which I cannot believe) - or that combinations of the locations of the planets and the zodiacal constellations imply specific varieties of good advice to apply in one's life (in which implications I have no belief whatsoever).
But there undoubtedly is a place for verbal, non-mathematical testing, which is not culture limited, not occupation limited, and not background limited - and which would enable finding and employing many useful people who do not have American, middle-class back-grounds. Perhaps the readers of C&A and their friends and acquaintances might well be a good area to discover and explore such tests.
Participation
If you think this is interesting, and would like to participate in this survey, send us what you do on this test. We will respond either in the pages of C&A by reporting, or to you individually.
We plan to publish additional tests like this one from
time to time.

MORE ABOUT THE FRONT COVER PICTURE
Pictorial Reasoning Puzzle - To produce "Puzzle" a ran-dom number generator was used to place the figures in the order shown and to choose the particular number to be re-peated. "Puzzle" was programmed in FORTRAN IV on a CDC 3300. The plotter was a Calcomp 765 Digital Zip Mode plotter. For more information, see page 5.
