John L. Sparkman called today for Senate ratification of the limited nuclear test-ban treaty, warning "if this treaty doesn't work, then a future nuclear war will in all probability 'solve' all our problems." Sparkman, Alabama Democrat who is a senior member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, made his appeal as the Senate resumed debate on the pact which would ban all but underground nuclear testing. As the historic debate moved into its second week, tMc votes of only 11 of the 100 senators remained on the doubtful or undecided list. Thirteen senators have announced their opposition to the treaty and 76 arc committed to or are inclined to vote for ratification.

A two-thirds majority is required for approval. If all 100 senators should vote, and that is unlikely since Son. Clair Englc, D- Calif. is ill, 67 favorable votes would be needed for ratification. Senate Democratic leader Mike Mansfield of Montana ordered overtime sessions in an effort to accommodate more than 20 senators who still want to make floor speeches on the treaty.

Eleven want to speak today, 10 more on Tuesday. Mansfield indicated he did not think the oratory would change many voles. Much of Sparkman's prepared address centered on replying to a series of questions raised a week ago by Sen. Margaret Chase Smith, She is listed in the doubtful vote column. Sparkman said "there are no single factual answers available to most of the questions posed.

There are only speculative answers, but answers with high probabilities, based on interpretation of available facts." resolution of most of the senator's questions would come, I fear, only from data collected after a full-scale nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union," Sparkman added. On two of the major points raised by Sen. Smith, Sparkman quoted testimony by Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara. "The absence from our arsenal of a bomb greater than the one we can build under the treaty will not impair the effectiveness of our strategic forces," Sparkman said.

"Even after a Soviet strike the total surviving U.S. strategic nuclear force will be large enough to'destroy the enemy." He added that supporters recognized "there are risks in this treaty." Also speaking in favor of the treaty was Sen. Maurine Neu- bergcr, who said that the "mother's vote" supports the treaty as a method for curbing radioactive fallout. But she denied this support was based on sentimentality or a lack of concern for national security. The 11 senators who told The Associated Press they were not yet ready to announce positions included six Democrats and five Republicans.

(AP) State Police say the recovery of a body, from the deep, cold waters of Lake Placid could possibly clear up the 30-year-old mystery surrounding the disappearance of a prominent New Jersey college dean. Troopers awaited the arrival of a pathologist to help examine the decomposed body, believed to be that of a woman, found Sunday by scuba divers. Capt.

Harold T. Muller of Troop Malone said he and other investigators were trying to determine whether the body might be that of Mrs. Mabel Smith Douglass, one of the founders of New Jersey College of Women. Records here showed that Mrs. Douglass disappeared while rowing on the lake on Sept.

21, 1933. She was then 56. The body was found on a ledge at a depth of about 95 feet near the east shore of the lake in the vicinity of Pulpit Rock, where records indicated, Mrs. Douglass' boat was found by searchers 30 years ago. Muller said that what appeared to be women's shoes were found on the body and added that there were no apparent means of identification.

Investigators speculated that the near-freezing temperatures in. the Adirondack Mountain lake's deep water could have preserved the body for a long time. i Muller reported that the divers, members of the Lake Champlain Wreck-Raider Club, spotted the body while exploring ledges and the lake bottom. The divers told troopers that the body was virtually intact when found but that it disinte-' grated when raised to the surface. Mrs.

Douglass, a native of Jersey City, was the first dean of the New Jersey College for Women when it was founded in 1918. Controversy Shrouds Acts Of McNamara An A News Analysis By FRED S. HOFFMAN AP Military Affairs Writer WASHINGTON S. McNamara is probably the toughest man ever to hold the demanding job of secretary of and his toughness has generated resentment among some military leaders. They have learned, sometimes painfully, that he means to have things done his way.

Although McNamara has his admirers in uniform, there arc those who question whether he hasn't carried the acknowledged principle of civilian control too and hasn't, in the process, downgraded the importance of professional military judgment. Adm. George W. Anderson, denied a second term as chief of naval operations, gave voice to these views recently when he warned against "discrediting the voices of dissent, especially the dissent of military men speaking on subjects they know." Despite official denials, it is believed that Anderson's differences with McNamara on the TFX fighter plane development sped him into military retirement. Anderson soon will leave for Portugal as U.S.

ambassador. McNamara has insisted, in reply to criticism, that he consults the military chiefs more than did any previous defense secretary. He told a Senate committee recently he had turned to the chiefs on literally hundreds of occasions and that "their advice is absolutely essential." Differences between military and civilian viewpoints are not new of are public protests by military men. Four years ago Gen. Maxwell D.

Taylor blasted Eisenhower defense policies as Taylor retired as Army chief of staff. Now, with many of Taylor's ideas adopted by the Kennedy administration, he is back in the Pentagon at the very top of the military chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

It wasn't far away from birthday time for any of the three June has the nation's Negro community reacted so strongly to racial violence. Negro leaders called for strong federal action. The blast was the worst of merous bombings and other violence since Negroes began campaigning in April for desegregation. They achieved public school integration.

Quintuplets occur only about once in 42 million births. Of the three previous quintuple births in the United States, none of the children survived infancy. The births came in comparatively rapid fashion, the first infant arriving at 1:58 a.m. Saturday and the last at 3:01 a.m.

The boy was the fourth one born. Officials of the Nash-Finch wholesale grocery warehouse, where Fischer 'works as an $80 a week i billing clerk, said it was all right if the proud papa didn't show up for work for a few days.

The infants were expected to stay in their Isolcttes for possibly two months or more, until they've reached 5''i pounds. The boy, heaviest of the quints, weighed about four pounds at birth. His sisters ranged from abobut to pounds. Mrs. Fischer, 30, who had been in considerable pain shortly following childbirth, was able to walk around her room Sunday.
