Senator Copeland sponsored a marine bill last year that drew charges it would open the Treasury to an unlimited raid by private shipbuilders and operators. Senator Hugo Black of Alabama condemned the bill as worse than any other possible version. St Louis papers charged Copeland, also a medical doctor, with using his influence to oppose the U S standard milk ordinance and propagandize against milk sanitation efforts, accusing him of obfuscating the issue by misleading omissions.
