.WorWriter Hits Dust
Gconsinusd from Page D

Aatst4llH#A tN@A4A eN9& N Of Capt. Leonard Woisenburg Of North Hollywood, Cal, who in the midst of the shelllng had launched Into . monologne from a pile of debris.
 T wish" he said. T was . eiyil- ian"
 When the helllng started, Capt. Weisenburg and Col. Everett puYal of Spokane. Wash. had been talking from the stone house by field tele- phone to American squads lying in the tall grass and espinred German dngouts several hundred yards ahead of us, closer to Clsterna. Leaders of patrols were returning with reports for Duyal.
 Also in the house were Pvt. Pat rick ChFistanzia, Rochester, N. Y,, Cpl. Arthur T. Schooner, Alice. Tex, Pfc. Charles Chaney. Wood- bridge, V. J., Pvt. Steve Fsituluehek, Troy, V. Y,, Sgt. Blll cuocinlllo, Chelsea, Mas. and Homer BigaEi of the New York Herald Tribune,
 The second shell hit the house high on Q corner, a JaFring blow that sprayed debris. Somebody yelled; "I'm getting the hell out Of here" Homer Hlgart dlved through . hole in a wall. The others seat' tered through a door, heading for Q trench outside,
 I had an agonixins moment of in- decision and then the Germans made up my mind. They hit the house twice more, tumbling wood and stone down on me, filling the little two-Foom house with choking dust.
 It was then that WelsenbuFg started his naonologue.
 T knew it,s he said. "Standing around out there lighting cigarettes, forgetting there's a war on.
 Every time you forget there's . war on q German jumps you. Never knew 1t to fail. But you can't teach anybody anything.
 'T'm tired Of thls stuff. Sick of 1t.
 T wish was a civilian.
 "Hut what the hell, you're a civil ian, and here you are.
 T mean l wish l was Q postwar civilian. Postwar"
 I had twisted around in an aWk' ward position and was staring at Welsenherg,
 What's the matter" he asked "you get hit2"
 I told him I wasn't hit and We didn't talk anymore, Just waited for the fifth shell,
 The dead silence was broken by the muffed ringing Of a telephone WelsenhuTg dug around ln Q pile of debris and came up with the ringing phone which he answered
 That was my outpost" he said They saw the fire take after us and just wanted to know if the line was still working, Damned funny people"
 Another telephone started ring ing from under another heap Of Tubhle and WelsenhuFg motioned for me to answer it, ] 4 calm voice on the other end oi

the line began asking me highly technical questions,
 T don't know anything" I sald, I'm a war correspondent"

 Brother" ! said, just before handing the telephone to Welssns burg, "I'm setting the hell out"
