Congressional Milking Contest Including Congressmen and Cow, 1938

Congressional milking contest declared a draw. Washington, D.C., June 9 with a blimp overhead. The four congressmen competing for the milking championship of the 75th Congress today on the Capitol plaza deserted their cows to make speeches when they discovered a microphone nearby. Halting the contest in mid-squirt, Rep. Marvin Jones, acting as referee, declared it a draw after the contestants could show no more than a pint of milk for ten minutes of effort. Left to right: Rep.
