WASHINGTON. Aug. 3-H?) -The allies should cast carr- flon aside and hit Hitler now, Senator Claude Pepper 10cm.- Fla.) said tonight In urging he immediate opening of a second front.

In an address to the Wash- ington industrial union council rally In support of o. second front, Pepper said "the Instinct of America today senses that nothing we can do is go danger- ous as to do nothing."

Crltlclzing those who use the word "Impossible," Pepper said:

"The genius of America has been its unwillingness to ndrnll that anything was impossible. No mountain was too high to scale. No vein u» deep in the bosom of the earth to be inac- cessible. No stream to wide to span. No continent too difficult to cross. Americans did not risk whether It could be done. They did it.’

NEW YORK Aug. 3 -- (CP)— Axis-dominated European radio

to a totally-unconfirmed and German - inspired rumor that Prime Minister Churchill has

The report originated Saturday in a story issued by the. German news agency, Transocean, under a Lisbon. Portugal, dateilne. It said there were "unconfirmed rumors" in Lisbon that Mr. Churchill has flown to Russia “to explain to Stalin the British attitude t0- wards the Soviet demand for es- tablishment of a second front.

There is neither an confirms. tion that Mr. Churchil is on such a trip nor even that such rumors are “prevalent" at Lisbon, as Trrmsocean said. The story ap- peared to be typical of Axis ef- forts to gain information,

Berlin's mention of the upper course of the Kuban as an import- ant objective leavee little doubt that the rfvcr plays a big part In Russ- ian strategy. Moscow now reports that Cossacks of the Kuban as woII as of the Don tribes are being thrown into action. They are the shock troops of the Red army of the Caucasus, reserved until now. The Im- plication ls that Marshal Tlrnoshenko is preparing to make a stand on hls left flank above or upon the Kuban. as his centre has braced from Salsk northeastwnrd to the Don bend and his right along the Don to Voronezh.

The Imrnodi ‘ danger point, however. is on the left-centre sector of his indicated line. The weak spot is east of the bendi of the Kuban at Temijbekskya. There is a. 50 mile span of open steppe country there, suitable for mechanized operations, down which the Germans are driv- lng in evident hope of turning the probable Russian front along the Kuban.

The Knban River is an defence front not only because it covers the Maikop all field. the only Caucasus nli source as yet in jeopardy; but because It also offers protection from a. Nazi flanking IIIUVP from the Crimea across narrow Rerch Strait.

Even should the Nazi thrust from ‘Belav Glinta reach the north or east bank of the Kuban in the vicinity of t e bend. the river has strong defensive possibilities.

Judge ‘Archambault, , in ‘his Judgment, said he “unhcsltatirigly coitticmncd the speech as a viola- tion of article 39 of the Defence of Canada Regulations.” but in taking into consideration, article 39B. "certain circumstances and also the pOSslble doubt as to the question of good faith, the accus- ed is liberated from ‘all accusations in the complaint."

(Article 39 B of the Defence of Canada Regulations, provides that “it shall be u defence to any pro- secution to prove that the person accused intended in good faith merely; to criticize 0r to point out errors or defects in the govern- ment of Canada?)

The complaint against Mr. Chaioult charged him with hav- ing uttered statements in a pub- lic address before several thous- mid persons, tending to “cause disafiection to His Majesty: hin- clor the success of His Majesty's armies as well as those of the allied nations; hinder recruiting and training and discipline of His Majest-ys armies, and tending toimpair the securtly of the state and the successful prosecution of the tvar."
