SATVBOAT, MABOH Itk. ItfZ TBl CAftOUNA TllfU 9Mm‘ Cairo Grand Jury Report Attacked SPRINGFIELD, lU., — In a special meeting held here this week, the Illinois State Con ference of branches of the Nat ional Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People took sharp issue with the re port of the Cairo grand jury, which had expressed the opin ion that no discrimination was present in the public schools of that city and which blamed the NAACP for recent instances of racial violence. The NAACP conference call ed upon U.S. Attorney-General J. Howard McGrath to convene a federal grand jury to investi gate the situation. Condemning the grand Jury’s statement that "outside influ ence” had disrupted the safety and moral condition of the chil dren to be transferred from se gregated schools, the NAACP asserted that the Association’s representatives acted in a legal, lawful, courteous and coopera tive manner and had not been srrogant, abusive and non-co operative as stated in the grand jury’s report. The NAACP also hit tKat part of the report which said that teachers “should be able to proceed as they interpret the law.” The conference was presided over by Paul E. Thurlow, state NAACP president, of Chicago. Speakers included Gloster B. Current, director of branches; Miss June Shagalofl and Lester Bailey, field secretaries who were arrested for their part in seeking to aid the transfers; and W. Robert Ming, Jr., of Chicago, a member of the NAACP nat ional legal committee.

SIGNET BOOKS ANNOUNCENEW TRIPLE VOLUME NEW YORK—The American Library, publishers of Signet and lyientor Books, will issue the first 75c paper-bound re print designed for newsstand and bookstore sales in April, with the release of the Signet Triple Volume edition of THE FOUNTAINHEAD by Ayn Rand, originally published by Bobbs Merrill. This Signet Triple Volume will be complete and unabrid ged, run over 700 pages in leng th in the conventional Signet size - 414’’ X 7 V4”. To avoid price confusion, and to readily identify this new format for consumers and dealers, the Tri ple Volume simulates in ap pearance three books in a sin gle binding. The~ backbone of the book has been divide^' into thr^ panels, each printed in a different color, with the title, author and number of the book printed oh each panel and a newly designed 75c colophon has been reproduced prominen tly on the front cover, back cover and backbone of each Signet Triple Volume. The majority of Signet Books wm continue to be reprinted at 25c. Mentor Books, the firm’s serious non fiction, will remain at their customary 35c price. Late in 1950, Signet Books pio neered in introducing higher priced books for newsstand dis tribution, with the 35c Signet Giants and 50c Signet Double Volumes. Although scepticism was expressed in some quarters about the public’s acceptance of higher-priced reprints, the first printing of the first Signet Dollble Volume - Willard Mot ley’s KNOCK ON ANY DOOR was a complete sellout in ten days, and has since been reprin ted six times. Double Volumes have turned out to be among the most successful Signet editions, with THE NAKED AND THE DEAD published in January 1951, setting the year’s record in sales - over a million copies in 1951. According to" Kurt Enoch, president of The American Li brary, “Signet Triple, Volumes have been created to allow us to extend our reprint facilities to include even the longest ma jor novel - to bring to the mill ions who buy Signet Books any important book, regardless of size.
