Surgeons and patients enter a door In the central compartment of the chamber and pass through an interior door to another compartment which can be outfitted as a small operating room. Instruments can be passed from the outside into the operating compartment through a mail lock. The central lock is used to make metabolism tests and chemical analyses of the patient's blood before and during surgery. DOCTORS HAD SAID earlier that it would be about four days before anything definite could be determined on the infant's condition.

Even as the President hurried into the hospital, Richard Cardinal Cushlng, spiritual leader of the Boston Roman Catholic Archdiocese and a close friend of the President, asked for "the prayers of all citizens for the speedy recovery of the child."

-AP Wlrtphot J-m Nothing in the treaty alters the status of unrecognized governments. Signing by Communist East Germany, for instance, in no way Implies U. S. recognition of that regime. "This treaty does not halt American nuclear progress" because testing will be continued underground.

The treaty does not diminish the need for continued Western and American military strength to meet all contingencies. U. S. security will be better assured by the treaty ban than by continued unlimited testing by both sides. The risks from sneak violations of the treaty are far smaller than the risks in unlimited testing.

"This treaty is the product of the steady effort of the U. S. government in two a i 1 trations (Eisenhower and Kennedy), and its principles have the explicit support of both political parties." As the President formally submitted the V. treaty to the Senate, nearly one-third of the 114 other nations of the world were signing it in ceremonies in Washington, Moscow and London, At the State Department, envoys from 31 states queued up to sign the treaty and more are due in Friday.

Enquirer Little Patrick Kennedy carried the hopes Thursday of a Cincinnati mother who in 1944 gave premature birth to a son "so small he'd have fit into a cigar box." So grateful were Mr. and Mrs. Irwin S.

Rhodes, 3815 Erie Hyde Park, for their son's survival they gave Jewish Hospital an iron lung. "WHILE OUR son, Larry, lived, we were told he'd have had a better chance of survival If the hospital had had an iron lung, so we donated one in honor of his recovery," Mrs. Rhodes said. Young Kennedy, second son of President and Mrs. Kennedy, was placed In a vast, breathing device Thursday after Its birth Wednesday 5Vi weeks prematurely.

"Larry was born eight weeks premature and weighed only about three er the treaty will take effect. Ratification is deemed automatic in Russia and Britain. But the treaty does not take effect until all three original signatories ratify. Kennedy administration authorities seem confident the Senate will approve by the required two-thirds majority of those voting. Committee hearings start next Monday and a final vote is expected after floor debate in September.

In his 1500-word message accompanying the short treaty document, Mr. Kennedy said: "It is rarely possible to recapture missed opportunities to achieve a more secure and peaceful world the United States should move swiftly to make the most of the present opportunity and approve the pending treaty." In saying the ban against all except underground atomic explosions would boost U. S. and world security, the President sought to counter a main objection to the pact. He said that should the I'nited States make further progress in atomic weaponry by testing in the atmosphere, so would Russia.

And if still other countries develop their own atomic force through atmospheric testing, this spread of nuclear weapons "might well lead to a weakening of our security," he said.

IMf OH PAGE 17 Features Page 8 Classified 421-6300 WASHINGTON (President Kennedy sent the limited test ban treaty to the Senate Thursday with a call for speedy approval 'to make the most of the present opportunity to achieve a more secure and peaceful world." In a 10-point message, Mr. Kennedy said the security of the United States and of all mankind would be increased by adoption of the proposed ban on nuclear testing in the atmosphere, in space and under water.

Here are the 10 points in order that Mr. Kennedy advanced them: "This treaty Is the whole agreement." And U. S. negotiators at Moscow made no contingent deal in reaching the accord with the Soviets. "This treaty advances, though it does not assure, world peace; and it will inhibit, though Tt does not prohibit, the nuclear arms race." The ban will curb harmful pollution of the Earth's atmosphere caused by radioactive fallout.

The treaty protects future U. S. rights because it cannot be amended without U. S. consent and any party can withdraw on three months notice.
