Their report follows. ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (UPD- The Air Force today intensified its investigation to determine what caused a Sidewinder air-to- air missile to be launched from a jet fighter plane into a B52 bomber during a training mission, The accident killed three of the eight crewmen of the Strategic Air command bomber. The fourth and fifth survivors were found alive Sunday nearly two days after they had bailed out of the doomed plane. Haste became imperative in the Investigation Sunday when the Defense Department issued an order halting all simulated attacks with missile carrying planes.

The only exception to the order was In the use of unmanned target drones or towed targets. Air Force officers emphasized that air-to-air missiles such as the Sidewinder are vital to the nation's defense and the only way for a flier to learn to use them properly is in simulated attacks.

James W. Van Scyoc, 27, pilot of the F100 that shot down. Then the board divided itself into four sections, so it could i estigate four phases of the tragedy simultaneously.

Kirby, professor of surgery at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, said here Sunday night that artificial human hearts could be ready for use under a "crash program" within two years and in common use in five years if funds were available for the work. In his initial address as president of the American Association for Artlflcal Internal Organs, Dr. Kirby said "we have all the know- how required from the surgical sociological ane engineering stand points." He said the only investigative work to be done a matter of time and money. He said he hoped his confidence in the project would stimulate science and researchers everywhere to 'push ahead' in the work. Dr.

Kirby described the mech- anical heart as a fist-sized plastic box, round-cornered, with four protruding clear plastic flexible tubes, each about the size of a human thumb. A three-quarter inch hold on one side of the "heart" is for the pumping mechanism which Is activated by an electrical power source attached to the patient's chest, sending impulses through the closed chest wall. After the patient's own heart was removed and circulation co tinucd by means of the heart lung machine, the artificial heart would be Inserted and sewn toto the chest with its tubes attached to the blood vessels. Dr. Kirby said the "heart" would benefit thousands who have suffered serious heart attacks, rheumatic and congenital heart disease.

Can't Afford Delay' The rebel leaders are giving no clues, of course. But responsible sources report the exiles cannot afford, for many reasons, to delay their attack for long. Jose Miro Cardona, president of the seven man Revolutionary Council which is directing preparations against Castro, followed up his'Saturday "call to arms" manifesto with a new plea to Cubans Sunday for unstinted cooperation.

Speaking to more than 1,000 Cubans here he said: "Fidel knows his days are numbered." The 59-year-old lawyer was the first prime minister in Castro's government until Castro took over that job himself. Terrorism continued at its steady pace in Cuba as the exile leaders' manifesto was released. In Miami, a group of some 35 anti-Castro airplane pilots departed Sunday night for aflight training camp believed to be located in Central America. At Tavernier, Florida, two anti- Castro Cubans were arrested by U.S. authorities and charged with operating a radio station without a federal license.
