Asbury Park Press Wednesday, December 11, 1991 Obituaries Bullish in Chicago, Bush scores rivals' isolationist' views Filmmaker Herb Jaffe of 'Last Tango' fame Bush, recalling isolationist sentiments before the United States entered World War II, said, "I don't want to see this country go back to protection that will shrink markets and throw people out of work. Facing an economic situation that he called "unacceptable," Bush said he would work with the Democratic-controlled Congress early next year on an economic recovery package. He promised to give the economy "a kick, get it started up again" but gave no indication what new proposals he might present in his State of the Union address next month. He mentioned Jaffe sold his agency and in 1965 became chief of West Coast and then worldwide production at United Artists during the release of "Midnight Cowboy," "Last Tango" and the early Woody Allen pictures. In 1975 he became an independent producer with "The Wind and the Lion," starring Sean Connery.

A dozen other pictures followed, including "Demon Seed," "Who'll Stop the Rain," "Lords of Discipline," "Fright Night II" and "Jinxed," in which he and other executives frequently clashed with Bette Midler. Other survivors include his wife, Nel; son Robert; and three grandchildren. A memorial service was scheduled for Sunday. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO President Bush jabbed yesterday at rivals who criticize his emphasis on foreign policy, saying "America First" proponents are advocating a path that will "shrink markets and throw people out of work." On a one-day trip to Chicago, Bush toured financial centers and declared anew that his own proposals would revive the faltering economy if only Congress would adopt them. In a pair of speeches, Bush rejected criticism that he has failed on the nation's economy while devoting time to for eign affairs.

He said that foreign involvement helps U.S. jobs and that he is proud of his efforts to foster the Middle East peace talks and to deal with the fast-changing Soviet Union. i We must back to isolationistic listening call of President not pull some sphere to the siren 'America "We must not pull back to some isola tionistic sphere listening to the siren call of 'America Bush told businessmen at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Bush commented as conservative commentator Patrick Buchanan, announcing in New Hampshire that he would run for the Republican presidential nomination, said the president "would put America's wealth and power at the service of some vague new world order; we will put America first." David Duke, who said last week he would challenge Bush for the nomination, also used "America First" in his announcement. And Democrats, too, have been urging Bush to put domestic needs before foreign policy.

Virginia Gov. L. Douglas Wilder has been using "Put America First" as a campaign theme. Another Democratic candidate, Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin, has called for trade restrictions to protect American jobs.

Democratic hopefuls Bill Clinton, Bob Kerrey and Paul Tsongas have criticized Bush for not doing enough at home but have said withdrawing from world markets and world affairs would be a mistake. former member of Hamilton United Methodist Church, Neptune.

Asked if he agreed with Bush that the recession is not as bad as its reputation, Melamed said, "I think it's worse. The recession is very real." Bush also used his day in Chicago to try and counter the impression he is out of touch with the common man. He ate lunch at a cheeseburger eatery, Billy Goat Tavern. He wolfed down two burgers while chatting with a table of patrons who included two steel-workers and two people who had earlier been unemployed. "He was very concerned," said steelworker Jim Mancini later.
