'.■■■’•lit- W-W! W'lF ■ Churchill Ou Visit To Western Front German Shells Land Near To Churchill With Ninth Army, Across the Rhine, Mar. 25.—(Delayed)—(UP) —German artillery shells landed within 50 yards of Prime Minister Churchill today when he visited the U. S. Ninth army bridgehead on the east bank of the Rhine. Churchill had climbed out on the wreckage of the Wese] bridge to get a closeup view of the town when the incident occurred. Bulletis pinged nearby, disclosing the presence of enemy snipers in buildings along the waterfront. Aud then four sharp cracks ripped the air. Four geysprs sprang up from the water about 50 yards from the bridge. Two more cracks sounded and I two more shells fell about 200 yards in -back of the party. Field Marfehal Sir Bernard L. Montgomery and Lt. Gen. William H. Simpson, commander of the Ninth, insisted Churcliill leave the | area and the party pulled out in a hurry. It was probably the first time iu his career that Churchill had been “bracketed" and one of the few times he had been forced to back down. Earlier in the day, Churchill, accompanied by Montgomery aud Field Marshal Sir Alan Brooke, chief of the imperial staff, met Gen. Dwight 1). Eisenhower, Lt. Gen. Omar N. Bradley and Simpson at th headquarters of Maj. Gen. John Anderson of the American 16th corps. Churcliill was wearing a lignt spring topcoat, the usual black hat and smoking the inevitable cigar. Nearby GI s remarked: "The cigar has been here."

Anderson offered the party a drink. Simpson passed up the offer but Churchill took some. After poring over the war maps, the party had lunch of fried chicken iu the open while anti-aircraft I crews kept an extra close watch. ] The prime minister later climbed ■ to the top floor of a partly wrecked house and gazed out over the barrier which Adolf Hitler had counted upon to block the Allies in the west. “The last time i was on the Rhine was in the Cologne bridgehead after the last war when we cruised 50 miles up the river in a British gunboat," Churchill said. “I should like very much to gir across." iflsenhower shook his head disapprovingly as well as Mongomery. but Eisenhower had tp leave and Churchill coaxed Anderson into taking a boat rit|e. The party then went across in a U. S. navy LCVP. Ou, the east bank, Churchill climbed atop a dike and started walking toward a village a mile away. But Anderson and Montgomery warned pf German mines and Churchill dejectedly gave up the trip. The group then went to tlje wrecked Wesel bridge, where Churchill had his close call with the German shells.
