By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Mar. 9.-The German
high command kept from the Ger
man people today the news that
American troops have established a
bridgehead on the east bank of the
Rhine.
The communique, which is read
to all the German people, admitted
that German forces had been pushed
across the Rhine at Cologne, but
otherwise told only of fighting on
the west side
A Transocean dispatch acknowl-
edged that American forces had
crossed, and said the bridgehead was
opposite Remagen. about halfway
between Bonn and CoblenZ. This
dispatch was beamed overseas for
foreign consumption.
TranSocean asserted the crossing
was made only at one point by ''rel-
atively weak" forces.
