NEW YORK, May 3—It was formally announced here this week that Mrs. Roosevelt will present the 24th Spingarn medal to Marian Anderson at the closing session of the 30th annual conference of the N. A. A. C. P. on July 2, at Richmond, Va.
The ceremonies will be held in the famous Mosque, largest and most beautiful of Richmond's auditoriums. It is probable that one or more of the radio chains will broadcast the presentation.
Publication of a rumor that Mrs. Roosevelt would make the presentation has inundated the N. A. A. C. P. with requests for tickets of admission.
Nationwide interest in the conference and particularly in the presentation of the medal to Miss Anderson by Mrs. Roosevelt has been greatly accentuated by the recent barring of Miss Anderson from Constitution hall in Washington by the D. A. R. and from the use of a public school auditorium by the District of Columbia school board.
