A small corps of trucks and motorboats carried families en camped on the banks of the Lit tle Wabash river in southeastern Illinois to safety Thursday and early today. Fed by heavy rains which followed recent off-season tornadoes into the area, the river was expected to crest at 34 feet today. Livestock Endangered Authorities said the biggest difficulty confronting the evac uees was getting their livestock to safety.

(TO Judge Raulston Schoolfield said today he will answer in a radio and television address testimony that implied he accepted bribes to quash indictments against 13 Chattanooga teamsters. He said his answer to these charges tonight will be "all-encompassing" and "national in im port." Schoolfield, 52-year-old crim inal court judge, and a politician with a lust-for-battle reputation, planned to go on local radio and television tonight to rebut the testimony. Witnesses told the Senate Rackets Committee that money changed hands to free teamsters accused of using vio lence to spur an organized drive. "My guilt or innocence is not at stake," Schoolfield saidbut he promised a formal statement that would be "pretty all-encompassing." He indicated his speech also would deal with tentative efforts to disbar and impeach him. To Call Names, Places "What I have to say," School field added, "is national in im port." Four days ago he prom ised to "call the names and places no matter the concern or how high the places." Schoolfield, a 1954 segrega tionist candidate for governor, made headlines earlier this month when Raymond Hixson, a Tennessee deputy fire marshal, testified there was "quite a bit of talk" that the judge was paid $18,500 to quash an indictment against the Chattanooga team sters. The State Supreme Court over ruled Schoolfield. But in a new trial he directed a verdict of ac quittal for the defendants, who included Glenn Smith, president of Chattanooga Local 515.
