lOOF. 8 pm IOOF Hall, 423 Kansas City Street. Chattanooga JudgcDcnics Taking Bribe CHATTANOOGA. Tenn. CD Criminal Court Judge Raulston Schoolficld denied last night that he had ever taken a bribe.

He said that allegations that he had done so stemmed from what he called a contemptible plot and conspiracy. In an hourlong television speech, delivered first here and then in Nashville, Schoolficld answered charges made against him last week before the Senate Rackets Committee by laying: 1. That he emphatically denied any implications that he had taken a DriDe to quasn conspiracy charges against 13 Teamsters Un ion members. 2. That Asst.

Dist. Atty. Gen. Harold Brown had testified cor rectly that he, Brown, gave the judge $1,000 for hw 1954 gubernatorial campaign fund from a bondsman named Sam Jones, but indicated he had no knowledge! that it may have been contributed by a defendant who was later paroled ia his court. 3.

That he acknowledged his failure to report expenditures in his segregationist campaign for governor, 4. That investigators for the committee, which he called a federal engine of tyranny, had aimed not at labor-management cases but only at him because of his stand against centralized government and for states rights. For the Rackets Committee, Sen. Curtis (R-Neb) said, "The judge is overrating himself. We have no interest in him personally nor jurisdiction over him.

His characterization of the committee is entirely false. There is no plot to destroy him." Schoolfield in, his speech, defended detail the allegations that $20,000 was passed to fix the cases against the 13 Teamsters and another $1,000 to free Spence Galloway, who had been convicted of receiving and concealing stolen property, and that he had not reported his campaign expenses. His defense in the Teamsters case: He still believes his legal decisions were correct in first quashing the indictment and then, after higher court reversal, directing an acquittal of the 12 defendants who showed up for trial. The money allegedly withdrawn from Teamsters Union funds to fix the case had been withdrawn more than a year before the "action heretofore referred to." In the Galloway case: He had no doubt of Galloway's guilt but had paroled hrm on a plea to a lesser offense after he had established that he had a good reputation, and after two trials He expressed confidence in the integrity of Brown, who had passed the controversial $1,000 to Schoolfield. In conceding that he had failed to report his campaign expend! tures as required by law, the judge said it was not customary for losing candidates to do so, that he had not exceeded the statutory limitation in the brief campaign, and that he had just not thought about it.

Young Hunters Figured Dead LOUISIANA, Mo. Wl Five young duck -barters whose small boat apparently capsized in the treach crous Mississippi River yesterday nave been given up for dead.

One is a resolution censuring Rutgers UniversKy for the "en forced resignation" of Prof. Abra ham Glasser in 1953 after he in voked the Fifth Amendment in refusing to answer questions be fore the House un-American Activities Committee.

The other is a constitutional amendment which would enable expulsion of law school members of the association which persist in racial discrimination. The association's committee on academic freedom and tenure which submitted the censure resolution against Rutgers charges the school gave Prof. Glasser on ly two choices: "To face fismis sal and, if he chose, to litigate it; or else resign as he did." This. it claims, violated his academic due process and amounted to an "enforced resignation."
