U. 8. Seventh Army Headquarters May II - (UP0 Frau Lucle Maria Rommel, widow of the late Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, has changed her account of the famed Desert Fox's death and now insists he was murdered by the Nazis on orders from Adolf Hitler.
 Frau Rommel told her American captors more than a week ago that her husband died of heart attack while recovering from wounds in- f1icted by a Straflng Allied plane during the battle of France.
 She gave the new version of Rom- mel's death immediately on learning that her 16-year- old soldier son Manfred had been taken prisoner by the French.
 She explained the sudden switch on the ground thta she feared to tell the truth before now because the Nazi SS might take reprisals on her son.
 There was no substantiation for her new story, which directly con- tradicted earlier versions of Rom mel's death given out by Berlin spokesmen.
 Now Frau Rommel declares the Desert Fox was recovering from his wounds near Ulm last October IA when two German generals entered his room and forced him to take poison.
