WASHINGTON (AP) —
Beginning what may be the
most fateful day of his
presidency with prayer,
President Carter

pronounced himeelf satisfied
Sunday that he is ready to
rally a United States he
believes is flagging in spirit.

Greeting three reporters
after he participated in an

Baptist Church here, Carter

was asked abouthis progress
in fashioning 2 speech to the
nation, to be broadcast by
major networks at 10 p.m.

responded with a smile, and
held up hia right hand in an
“A-OK” gesture — thumb
and forefinger joined to form
a circle.

Accompanied by his wife,
Rosalynn, and daughter,
Amy, 11, Carter heard

laymen and clerics offer half
a dozen prayera for his
success during the Bible
class and at the regular
Sunday ‘services that
followed. .

who conducted the Bible

Children’s health damaged _

NEW YORK (AP) —
Children of parents who
smoke have poorer lung
function than the children of
non-smokers, says a study
published in the American
Journal of Epidemiology.

The study, the firat to
examine the possible link
between parents’ smoking
and thelr childrens’ lungs,
found that children per-
formed slightly poorer on a
standard lung function test if
elther parent smoked. They
did more poorly if both
smoked. ©

‘The reseachers, led by Dr,
Ira Tager of Harvard
University, said the study
adds to concern that
cigarettes may be hazardous
not only for the smoker but
for those around him,

“The data ... indicate that
the cigarette smoking habits

of parents may have a
measurable effect on the
pulmonary function of their
smoking and nensmoking
children,” the report said.

Children who had ex-
perimented with smoking
were found to have even
poorer lung furiction scores
than those whose parents
smoked,

Rosner and Frank Speizer of

The children were between

years old and 10 per cent of

Lung function was
measured by having the

children take a deep breath
and exhale into a machine
that measures air volume
and flow. ,

The amount of lung im-.
pairment, although
measurable, was small,
Weiss said, The study also
failed to find any correlation
between smoking habits and
respiratory disease.

But Welss said there was a
clear and statistically
significant trend towards
decreased lung function as
parental and then child
amoking increased.

The study was part of a
fiveyear search for factors
that would predict whether a
child is likely to get chronic

cloistered himself at Camp
David, Md., for 12 days to
draft a once-postpaned
speech he hopes will over-

Although his major pur-
pose is to discuss problems
of energy and inflation, the

Journaliats who met with

‘Carter Friday afternoon said

he conveyed the impression
of a man determined to
change the direction of his
presidency. They described
him variously as ‘‘a
thoroughly chastened
leader,” as “a deeply
troubled.and worried man,”
and as a man ready to make
bold policy proposals and
substantial s changes.
The president has been
pictured as feeling that fuel

looming recession and a sour
national mood have made
the country hungry for
