The international research office for the study of social implications of technological change was established in Paris in 1953. One of its main functions is to act as a clearing house for this field of research. The office has undertaken the preparation of a general bibliography and various specialized bibliographies. The research office wishes to be a kind of cooperative for the many organizations and U. departments engaged in research in this field. It is attempting to assemble less widely available documentation, and be available as a practical research consultant to any private or official service bodies. It is highly desirable that specialists and organizations engaged in research on the social implications of technological change should submit regular information concerning their work directly to the research office. Specialists who are not yet on the research office's list of correspondents are requested to contact the Office. J. E. Hughes.

The various soc sci's have not, so far, contributed equally to the development of peaceful cooperation through UNESCO. This is due, in part, to the fact that the sci's have varied in degree of their acceptance into the structures of the U's, &, in part, by the fact that the various sci's differ in the degree to which they can free themselves from an ideological context & concentrate on problems which are chiefly technical in nature. In this latter respect, pol'al sci is at a serious disadvantage. Tr by J. A. Broussard from IPSA.
