MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) -
Democratic presidential rivals
roamed southern New Hampshire
on Monday in a holiday hunt for
votes, while President Bush
phoned in a White House defense
against his conservative chal
lenger.
The political traffic was heavy
on the eve of Tuesday's New
Hampshire presidential primary
election, the first balloting of 1992.
While Bush was being inter
viewed by telephone on radio sta
tion WEEA in Manchester, Patrick
Buchanan, his GOP challenger,
was waiting on hold.
The polls begin opening at 6
a.m. Tuesday.
The pollsters rated . Paul
Tsongas, the former senator from
Massachusetts, the late leader in
the five-man Democratic field,
with Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton
running second.
Bush held a hefty lead in GOP
polling. Both sides said he'd win,
but Buchanan sought to come
close enough to send the White
House and the party a message of
conservative rebellion.
'T'd love to win," Democrat
Tsongas said.
"I'm going to force the Demo
cratic Party to once and for all take
all that useless rhetoric, cast it
aside . . . and let's have a partner
ship of labor and management
and government so the average
person in this country can have a
job, provide for their family and
look to a future that's viable," he
said in Portsmouth.
Clinton staged a dozen stops in
his final sprint of a race in which
he'd been rated the leader before
the controversies over a woman's
claims of an affair with him and
over his Vietnam-era draft status.
"The president has finished his
mission," Clinton said. "He is yes
terday's man. He offers us no real
hope and vision for the future."
Sen. Bob Kerrey of Nebraska
said he expects to do well because
New Hampshire voters are begin
ning to realize that he's not a sin
gle issue candidate despite his em
phasis on national health insur
ance. "National health insurance
for me is a beginning, a beginning
of fundamental change in the
United States," he told a health
care forum in Concord.
He and Sen. Tom Harkin of
Iowa were ranked well behind
Tsongas and Clinton in the polls.
The loser between them may have
trouble raising the funds and
gaining the backing to go on into
the most costly campaign states to
come.
"We are ready to go national
better than any other candidate,"
Harkin told campaign workers at
his Concord headquarters. At the

In south Lebanon, security
sources said 150 elite Lebanese
Army commandos in armored
personnel carriers arrived in the
region and joined 11,000 troops al
ready deployed. They fanned out
in the Zahrani area, 12 miles north
of Israel's self-styled security zone
in south Lebanon.
That suggested the reinforce
ments were meant for monitoring
supply and communications
routes of Shiite militants between
forward positions and concentra
tions to the north. Also, their pres
ence would help check quickly
any sectarian tensions that might
be kindled by developments.

shops and businesses in Muslim
areas in the south and in Beirut.
Life was normal in Lebanon's
Christian regions.
The Israeli attacks Sunday on
the Palestinian refugee camps
were in apparent retaliation for an
Arab raia on an army camp in Is
rael early Saturday. Three soldiers
were hacked to death and a fourth
wounded.
Israel blamed Palestine Libera
tion Organization Chairman Yass
er Arafat's mainstream Fatah
guerrilla faction for the assault,
and on Monday a Fatah faction,
the Black Panthers, claimed re
sponsibility, in a leaflet circulated
in the West Bank.
Israel did not directlylil

welcomed it as a show of m
