rated negative
United Press International
j NEW YORK — President Car
er’s job rating dropped again in the
yes of the American public and it
ay go down still further because of
Section of a government-endorsed
t>al contract, the Harris Survey
The poll released Monday had
ted negatively by people of all
ilitical philosophies, and for the
t time, he was given bad marks

berals.
The Harris organization said that
a nationwide survey of 1,510
hilts, 58 percent gave Carter a
gative rating for overall perform-
ice and 41 percent gave him a pos-
ve mark.
This was down from the 49 per-
nt to 47 percent negative rating
ie president got in January. Car
r’s best marks in the Harris Sur-
;y were recorded in April of last
ar — a 69 percent to 27 percent
to Hositive rating.
ird f The Harris group cautioned that
| the poll was taken before strik
ing coal miners voted on the
ministration-backed coal contract.
With rejection of the pact, the or-
ization said, “it is likely that the
sident could slip even below the
hmsBirrent lows recorded in this sur-
y-”
Sixty-nine percent of those inter-
s nsBewed gave Carter negative marks

ile 27 percent were positive.

ereent to 32 percent negative score
on his relations with Congress, and
j 59 percent to 36 percent negative

tovemment” — a sharp reversal
i|om the 48 percent to 47 percent
fjositive rating of January.

tel scored 52 percent to 34 percent
|#egative; his handling of the
mama Canal treaties was 59 per-
nt to 26 percent negative; and his
proposals drew a 50 percent to
percent negative rating.
)iii»i§0nly on his Middle East efforts
1 Carter score positively — 46 per

Developing a solid, short-range

use the science of weather fore-
ting is immensely complicated.
Weather observers around the
'orld gather information on the at-
osphere’s initial condition — data
ich as wind, temperature, pres-
re, precipitation. This information
fed into National Weather Service

ospheric changes based on phys-
laws of motion. The huge NWS
mputers do not have the capacity
to digest all this material more than
' ifew times a day.
Kreitzberg is devising a method
to feed atmospheric data into com
puters every hour.
“We’re working on smaller scale
features and refining forecasts

The movement toward more ae
