Los Angeles, March 19.—More than 500 postcards urging clemency for the Georgia Ingram family have been sent by local citizens to President Truman and Georgia's Governor Thompson, the Los Angeles Negro Congress reported today.
The Congress said the postcards were only the beginning in a giant "Save the Ingrams" campaign which begins today and will last through March 29.
Tables have been set up already in the 63rd assembly district and the Watts area, from which passers-by are handed postcards urging revocation of the execution sentence passed on Mrs. Rosa Lee Ingram and her two sons.
The Ingrams are scheduled to die in the electric chair March 29. They were sentenced by an all-white jury after they had killed a white farmer in self-defense.
