It was only eight years ago that Dr. Kolff and Dr. Tetsuzo Akutsu pioneered in artificial heart "plumbing" when they planted an air-powered plastic heart in a dog. The dog survived for an hour and a half certainly not an unqualified success long enough to demonstrate artificial hearts are feasible. SINCE THEN, ideas, devices and projects for artificial hearts and full replacement of hearts have mushroomed.

Artificial hearts, bypasses around parts of the heart, pumps for partial failures and pumps for complete heart replacements, new valves and a host of other devices were described at the meeting. None are, ready for use In humans, but many are being tested in animals. fT i I SHOWERS Clearing and Cool High 58-62: Low 40-44 Map and Details on Page D-ll HOURLY TEMPERATURES 3 p.m. 65 7 p.m. 65 11 m.

A North Vietnamese newspaper, which speaks for the Hanoi regime, declared: "We resolutely fight to the end that is our answer." The declaration indicated Hanoi wanted no part of President Johnson's invitation to share in a $1 billion recovery plan for Southeast Asia. BOTH RED CHINA and the Soviet Union made it clear they want nothing to do with peace talks on the President's terms. In a broadcast heard China called the proposal for discussions "a big swindle" and said an observer who possibly could be Mao Tze-Tung signed an article which suggested: that President Johnson's offer 1 reflects "increasing difficulties and isolation" for the United States. In Moscow, Russia pledged any assistance needed by the Vietnamese Communists to re- I pel American "aggression." In Moscow the Communist Party newspaper Pravda called the President's Baltimore ad-! dress "a maneuver designed to placate world public opinion' -and Washington's alarmed allies, i "The American aggression in i Vietnam is a doomed undertaking and the United States has only one way out to end it before it is too late," Pravda said. THE HANOI newspaper ridiculed Mr.

Johnson's offer of $1 billion for a co-operative economic program to develop Southeast Asia as the words of a "stupid pirate." The broadcast heard in Tokyo faid the aid offer impressed, no one but "a handful of traitors hankering after the milk and butter left unfinished by U.S. imperialists." In Warsaw, Poland, Premier Josef Cyrankiewicz expressed hope at the former Auschwitz death camp that there will be a "sobering up" of American policy on Vietnam lest world peace be lost again.

Raborn 59, a retired vice admiral who helped develop the Navy's Polaris missile, was chosen by President Johnson Sunday to head the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Rabom will succeed John A.

McCone, a West Coast indus trialist who became CIA direc tor in November, 1961. Since his Navy retirement, Raborn has been a vice pres ident of Aerojet General Corp. in Pasadena, Calif. THERE WERE indications as far back as early December that McCone would like to be re leased from his duties to return to private life. The President made the an nouncement of Raborn's selec tion after signing the $1.3 billion school aid bill.

Richard G. II 1 was named by the President to be deputy director of the CIA. It was not definite when Raborn would take over his new job. McCone, at 62, has held positions of high responsibility under the last four presidents. He was deputy to the undersecre tary of defense in 1948 and undersecretary of the Air Force in 1950-51.

There were 158 reported dead and the toll rapidly was mounting. Thousands were injured, many of them critically, and hundreds of homes and other buildings were destroyed. The reported casualty list by states: Indiana, 91 dead. Illinois, 11 dead.

Michigan, 18 dead. Wisconsin, three dead. Ohio, 35 dead. Iowa also was hit hard, but no deaths were reported. Except for Toledo.

the! worst known death toll occurred: at Dunlap. where there! were 20 killed and 91 injured. The tornados appeared to curve around Lake Michigan's1 southern tip from Wisconsin in the northwest through Illinois and Indiana and northward' again into Michigan. An estimated 100 homes were flattened and a shopping center was heavily damaged at Crystal Lake, 111. The Crystal Lake High School was opened to care for the injured.

Electrical power was knocked out in the area. Uprooted trees and utility poles blocked highways. Along the tornado's path was a jumble of roofless homes and jagged walls. A small row-boat hung impaled on a tree limb. THE CRYSTAL Lake twister hit an area about three blocks from the business district.

Then it rose up and touched down again as it moved into residen tial areas west of town.

Injured when the tornado tore into the Andree Res taurant in Alpine Township Sunday evening, Weiler was brought to St. Mary's Hospital here with a severely injured leg. "There were at least 50 people in the restaurant," Weiler said. "We had been there about 45 minutes, when we heard this shrill whistle. Next thing we knew the wall had fallen in.

By 4 a.m. Monday, there were 18 known dead and scores were injured. State Police headquarters at East Lansing listed five dead in each of Kent, Lenawee and Hillsdale counties and three dead at Coldwater Lake in Branch County.

One report from Coldwater Lake put the death toll at 15. About 150 were injured. Gov. Romney mobilized the National Guard in the Grand Rapids area. Branch County officials declared a state of emergency.

A TORNADO WHICH ripped through the north side of Toledo left 20 dead, according to an unofficial count early Monday. Five of the victims were killed when an interstate bus was flipped on the Detroit-Toledo Expressway. Toledo police said Riverside Hospital was full of dead and injured and that fire stations were being used as emergency first aid stations. Ambulances and emergency vehicles were rerouted from Riverside Hospital to other clinics and hospitals. Other tornadoes were reported by police at Allegan County, Lansing and Hillsdale.

Possible tornados were reported scattered throughout communities in Lenawee, Kalamazoo, Washtenaw and Barry counties. By far the hardest hit area was a two-mile section of Comstock Park three miles northeast of Grand Rapids. The tornado hit the ground at the intersection of Four Mile and Alpine roads and carved a half-mile wide path of destruction up Alpine Road before it spent itself on the edge of a 50-unit trailer park. ONE NATIONAL GUARD company was sent to help in rescue operations and prevent looting. Police had to use scores of auto wreckers to clear Alpine Koad of debris so emergency vehicles could get through.

An estimated 50 houses were flattened. Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids reported 50 injured Other hospitals in Grand Rapids were filling up. "It just seemed like a strong wind." said one of the injured. "Then everything caved in all at once." "There undoubtedly are more victims in the ruins," Police Lt. Robert Delderbloom said, "but it's dark and the houses are all crumbled together." It was the worst tornado to hit the area since 195(5 when almost a score of persons were killed in suburban Standale.

Dr. William J. Kolff. of the Cleveland (O.) Clinic Founda Pakistanis Admit Using U.S. Guns NEW DELHI Pakistani jtroops have been using American weapons in border clashes against Indian troops, a defense ministry spokesman charged Sunday.

Four Pakistanis captured in a clash Friday admitted their units had used weapons obtained from the U.S. military aid program, he said. Pakistan has received more than $1 billion worth of military hardware from the U.S. and India about $450 million worth. jii.i nxw'i mil One new design, called an "electrohydraulic implantable artificial heart," should be ready within a year.

A group of Indiana University scientists reported. The first version will have wires running through the skin to an external power source. The next model will utilize radio frequency transmission through the chest wall with very little loss of power. THE THIRD will use an implanted nuclear power system. Massachusetts engineers have designed an implantable 1 a r-powered steam engine to drive an artificial heart.

While most people think of nuclear power in terms of huge reactors, it is believed that radioactive forms of common chemical elements (radioisotopes) can be used to provide the heat necessary to run a small, steam engine to power an artificial heart.
