The article presents new briefs related to latest developments related to computer science in the United States. It reports that the legislation to classify computer-produced bills and statements of accounts as first class mail was introduced by Senator A. S. Monroney of Oklahoma. The Academic Computer Center at the United States Military Academy, West Point, would like to establish contact with persons having a strong programming and computer science background who are entering the army. The installation is highly student-oriented, has an operational in-house, 15-terminal, time sharing/remote batch system and has run over 150,000 programs this academic year. It is primarily interested in persons who will enter the service as enlisted men rather than officers. The Australian Computer Society, which was formally organized by a combination of a number of state societies, is establishing a journal at the professional level in the data, information processing, and computing fields. Papers are invited for publication in the inaugural and following issues of the Journal.
