The radio post pays $10,oo0 annual ly. Caldwell said the. $7,000 was paid with the understanding he would return to the McGraw-Hill company when he left the commits sion.
 Senator Couzens compared this payment to Caldwell with retainer fees paid members of the senate as lawyers by some clients. Senator Wheeler denied that he received any such fee and contended that the senators rendered some service whereas Caldwells money from Me- Graw-Hill was a mere gratuity."
 When Senator Couzens described retainer fees as buying off." sena- tor Wheeler heatedly declared such "is not true" and the Michigan sen- ator replied, You might as well be frank about it."
 when you were with the Ford Motor company and employed law >crs" Wheeler questioned. you didn't think you were buying them off. did you:"
 Senator Couzcns said that "jn ef- feet" he SO considered such trans actions
 'I deny this on behalf of the legal profession." answered Wheeler.

 DROP IN MARKET
Early Declines Are Wipd Out at
 Mid.Day

New York, Feb. 5 RtA sensa- tional rally followed the sharp opening break in today's stock market. Prices dropped to 6 points in tho early trading on sell ing inspired by the unexpected in- crease in the New York Federal Reserve bank rediscount rate. but the marking down of the renewal rate on call money to 1-4 per cent started a general buying move ment which reduced. or wiped out, the early losses and sent about a dozen stocks up to 3 points above yesterdays final quotations.

While an increase in the New York rate was regarded as certain before spring. it was not expected so soon. particularly as no change had been made earlier in the week in Boston. Philadelphia and St. Louis rates. all of which were ac,- cd upon this week.
 The reaction in stocks was an orderly one. most of the standard industrials and rails dipping a point or two on opening transactions, while large losses were recorded by the more volatile specialties which have been under pool manipulation. I. g. Steel common opened l 1-2 points net lower at IA 2-4 and General Motors showed an initial loss of points at t33 2-4. Radio Corporation opened with a. block Of 10000 shares at par. off 5-4 be- low last nights final price
