I saw a duck, a wild duck,
and thought of Henry s. Reuss.
Representative Reuss, a
Democrat from Milwaukee,
Wis, bears no resemblance to
a duck. He is a handsome SO
with a mind.that hurries along
usually on the left-and a
smile that flashes.
For the last five years, Mr..
Reuss pronounced Royce has
been trying to get a compare
lively small piece Of legislation
off the ground. Ducks are deep
ly involved, mainly mallard but
also black ducks and pintail
ducks and the teal.
For a variety of reasons
which may or may not be ade-
quately explained herein-Mr.
ReusS has been forced to play
a sort of chess game with his
duck legislation each session
of Congress. He is just as ada
mant as ever about it-even
ebullient when he talks about
it and for it.
There is in the States OF
North Dakota, South Dakota
and Minnesota what is known
as a duck factory"
This simply means that ap-
