Romulo, substituting for Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav M Molotov, told a national tele vision audience yesterday that u "rift" in the Kremlin is the cause of a change in Soviet tactics. Romulo answered the questions of a panel of newsmen on "Face the Nation, a CBS television program that had scheduled Mol otov as its guest yesterday until the Russian diplomat backed down rather than answer impromptu questions. The fiery Philippine ambassa dor said he was "pinch hitting" for Molotov. The former U. N. General As sembly president told panelists on the program that he believed a "rift" exists in the present Soviel regime, and Vas a primary motive in Russia's new "ten gallon hat strategy." "I have always felt since this new strategy has been offered by Soviet P.ussia that there must be some strong, powerful, inner com pulsion in Moscow to compel them to change tactics". Romulo said. He said the inner compulsion might be "this rift that they have." Romulo said he believed there was a fight going on in the Krem lin for power and that if someone wins, the world might again see a change in Russian tactics. Asked what he thought the themes of the U. N. commemora tive meeting were, other than peace, Romulo said: "Well, listening to these speech es you find, first of all, the yearn ing for peace. Then I was struck by the unanimity of the chief del egates when they discussed the admission of members. There h in implied desire to eliminate the veto of mcmlers, not openly ex nressed, but you could see it in their speeches. "Then the emphasis on the spe cialized agencies. . . in the tech nical assistance phase. "Then again... a preponder ance of desire. . . for a conference? to lw held to revise the charter."

Dulles, Ike Set Meeting On Incident WASHINGTON (UP) Secretary of Stale John Foster Dulles will fly to Maine this afternoon to meet President Eisenhower and confer on the latest U.S.-Russian plane ineider.i. The secretary planned to fly to Dow Air Force Base at Bangor, Me., a State Department spokes man said. Mr. Eisenhower is scheduled to fly back to the capital tonight. The President and Dulles then will have more time during the return flight to discuss the shooting down of an American Navy plane by Russian MIGs last Wednesday off Alaska. The Soviet version of the inci dent was revealed Sunday when the State Department made public the text of the memorandum hand ed Secretary of State John Foster Dulles in San Francisco Saturday by Soviet Foreign Minister V. M Molotov. The Russians charged there was an "exchange of shots" between the Navy Neptune bomber and the Russian MIG fighters. But a De fense Department spokesman said alt reports here bear out the U.S crewmen's original statement thut they "did not fire back." While admitting the incident could have been due to "a mis take," Molotov said Russia did not rule out the possibility it was "a result of the -action of some rep resentatives of tlie American com mand who are not interested in the prevention of this sort of incident." But Molotov expressed "regret in regard to the incident" and of fered to pay the United States 50 per cent of the damages. He In sisted the U.S. plane was over Rus sian waters. The United States reiterated its stand that the incident occurred over international waters. There was no loss-of life but 7 of the 11 crew members aboard the Neptune patrol plane were injured, three by shell fragments. Dulles, returning to the capital Sunday from the United Nations meeting at San Francisco and his meeting with Molotov, said he was gratified that the Soviet memo randum "expresse-d some regret, although it was not what we asked for." Dulles grew somewhat heated when he was nsked alout reports that he was "not satisfied" with the Russian offer to pay half the damuges. "I didn t say that, he snapped. I said it wasn't what we asked for." Most diplomatic officials, joined by some members of Congress, tenfled to view the clash as an "Isolated incident" that would have no bearing on the forthcoming Big Four conference. Others, including Senate GOP Leader William V. Knowland. thought it a deliberate act. SKCKIvT RKVKAI.KD CHICAGO (UPl -Cook County Commissioner Clayton F.

Catholic Leftist Named in Italy ROME ( UP) Prem ler-deslgna t o Antonio Segnl, 64-year-old advocate of land reform, set out today to heal the split In his Christian Democratic Purty as the first step toward ending Italy's six-day-old cabinet crisis. Observers believed he would try to do this by hiring two other can didates for the premiership into his cabinet; Budget Minister Elzlo Vanonl and former Premier Giu seppe Pella, in a move that would amount to rule by triumvirate. Segnl, considered a moderate left wing Catholic, would represent the left wing of his party. Vanonl would represent the center and Pella the riht wing. But Vanonl and Pella are so powerful political ly Italian political quarters al ready were discussing a three-man rule. President Giovanni Gronchl se lected Segnl, a six-times agricul tural minister under the late Alcide le Gasneri, as premier - designate in a M)-minute conference in tho presidential palace. Segnl accept ed and Gronchl asked him to re port back by Thursday. Segni is n Sardinian lawyer who carved up his own estates to set an example for Italy's land own ers at the outset of the country's land reform program ten years ai;o. A staunch Catholic, he be lieves land reform the best weapon against Communism. He will try to put together the coalition of Christian Democrats, Rmiblicnns, Liberals and Soclnl Democrats which crumbled with Premier Mario Scelba last week.
