Bush Associated Press ATLANTA President Bush swept into the center of this southern primary battleground Saturday, delivering a lectern-pounding speech that denounced challenger Patrick Buchanan for waving "the white flag of surrender" on trade. Bush, greeted by chants of "four more years, four more years" from almost 1,300 Republicans at a state party banquet, never mentioned his rival by name but leveled criticism at Buchanan's trade policies and opposition to Operation Desert Storm. "There are those who didn't support us then and there are those who second guess us now. But not the good people of Georgia Bush said as he logged the first of a marathon of visits to the South in the next 10 days. "Georgia kept the faith." Georgia's primary Tuesday represents a major showdown between Bush and Buchanan, and southern states predominate among the Super Tuesday primaries that come a week later.

As Bush was arriving here from Texas, Buchanan began airing 60- second television ads critical of the president for signing last year a civil rights bill aimed at easing the way for employees to win court battles against job discrimination. Critics say it will lead to minority hiring quotas. Bush signed the measure after opposing earlier versions on grounds they would usher in quotas. He said the new version would not. "Bush has made and broken many promises," the narrator says.

"But the one that hurts the most is the one that steals hope and fairness from our children. No matter how much we sacrifice, how hard they work, George Bush is closing doors to their future." A graphic that appears on the screen says: "Fall 1991, Bush broke his promise and signed a quota bill."

Patrick Buchanan Tone Clarke told reporters that Buchanan "should stop stretching the truth so much George Bush worked for three years to get civil rights without quotas." Presidential spokesman Marlin Fitzwater for the second straight day was critical of Buchanan, calling an earlier television ad blaming Bush for federal funding of sexually oriented arts projects "disgusting." "Buchanan appeals to the instincts of hate and divisiveness," Fitzwater said. While Buchanan campaigned elsewhere in the Georgia capital and its suburbs, Bush warned that the state has much to lose from those seeking to erect barriers against imports. He said 165,000 Georgia jobs are tied to trade. "So get past all the tough talk out there, all the patriotic posturing about fighting back by shutting out foreign goods," said Bush. "If this country starts closing its markets other countries will close theirs and when that happens, who gets hurt? Easy, we do," he said.

He said the protectionists want to retreat into a "pre-World War II isolationism." "Look close: That's not the American flag they're waving. It's the white flag of surrender, and that's not the America you and I know," Bush said. Prior to the president's remarks, House Republican Whip Newt told reporters that the race had reached the point at which it was no longer possible for Buchanan to wage an "honest, civilized campaign." "Buchanan, if he cares about defeating liberalism and replacing the welfare state, ought to withdraw from the race, because its obvious the only way he can stay in now is just smear and smear and smear," Gingrich said. Presidential pollster Robert Teeter was asked about the hard- hitting Buchanan ads running on Georgia television stations that blame Bush for grants from the National Endowment for the Arts for sexually oriented projects. "A lot of people down here will tell you they have backfired," Teeter said.

Asked if the Bush campaign has been gaining ground, he said, "We started out in pretty good shape. If we can stay where we are we're all right." Bush began the day by casting an early vote for himself in his adopted home state of Texas. There he sought to fend off the blame for the sour economy, casting his record as one of job creation and criticizing Congress for doing little more than "protecting their special perks." "I've never been more restless than now about the state of affairs in Washington," Bush told builders attending the Associated General Contractors Convention in Dallas. "In our nation's capital, the tired old liberal leadership of Congress is mired in cynicism and defeatism." "My opponents have cornered the market for slick rhetoric," he said. "But when it comes to delivering results, I have a plan that will stimulate economic growth and they don't." He asked the builders to help him get his embattled economic recovery proposals through Congress and "tell them what hard-hat America thinks about Congress and its politics as usual."
