No member of the Senate made an effort to stop or even slow down the quick voice vote taken Thursday with less than a dozen members on the floor. Furthermore, most of those who now say they did not realize what was happening are not exactly ganging up to overturn the vote yet.

OF THE 84 senators or top aides reached by Knight-Ridder Newspapers, 31 said they oppose the change, 20 said they are for it and 33 said they are uncertain. Ohio's two Democratic senators split on the issue. John Glenn was in favor of suspending the income limit, while Howard Metzenbaum supported keeping the tough income limit. The actual voice vote suspended a rule passed two years ago to limit a senator's outside income to $8,625 a year (15 percent of a senator's salary of THE CEILING, which went into effect Jan 1, was sold by Senate leaders as part of a tough ethics code that was tied to the senators' $12,900 pay raise in 1977. The package, said Majority Leader Robert C.

Byrd (D-W. was meant to keep the Senate from "having its cake and eating it, too." The new ceiling applied to all "earned income" the kind that results from actual work such as writing articles, practicing- law, selling real estate or making speeches. The Senate vote Thursday restored the old limit of $25,000 a year on earnings for speeches (honoraria) and took the lid entirely off income from other work. 1 A' Save $221 to 281 on multi-pillowed beige Herculon contemporary furniture in your choice of grouping '4 5 f- cr i ll HO 2 piece sectional, I 1 Si ifM She won't see 'miracle baby' JERSEY CITY, N.J.

The 39-year-old Bayonne woman, who Jersey City Medical Center officials declined to identify at the request of her family, gave birth to a five-pound premature girl Tuesday while in a deep coma caused by a cerebral hemorrhage. "I've never seen anyone this serious recover," Dr. Jerry Brown said as he studied a brain scan of the woman. "We'll keep her on life-support equipment and give her every chance to resolve this." The outlook for the baby, born a month early, Is "excellent," said Dr. Jules Rivkin, obstetrics and gynecology chief.
