Reagan to Gorbachev: Lei's meet in the U.S. WASHINGTON (AP) Seizing on the sudden turnover of power in Moscow, President Reagan is urging newly installed Communist Party chief Mikhail Gorbachev to come to the United States for the first superpower summit in six years, officials said. Reagan's invitation was carried to Moscow by Vice President George Bush, who hoped to meet with Gorbachev following today's funeral for Soviet President Konstantin U. Chernenko, who died Sunday.

An administration official who spoke on condition he not be identified said Tuesday that the Reagan letter proposed a meeting in the United States, but did not specify a time. The official said the president didn't list any conditions for a summit in the letter. However, earlier Tuesday, White House spokesman Larrj Speakes listed several requirements for a top-level meeting. Speakes said that in weighing the pros and cons of a possible summit, Reagan would consider such factors as an agenda for the talks, where a meeting would take place, whether the setting was conducive to discussions, and if the talks might be beneficial. "If it is possible to arrange such a meeting with full and careful preparations, we believe it could make a constructive contribution to the development of our relations with the Soviet Union," Speakes said.

Speakes said the administration no longer was demanding concrete results from a top-level exchange between the U.S. and Soviet leaders, buthe attempted to downplay this as being any change in U.S. policy.

Richard Matty, R-Crivitz, to be the site of a new state prison. The Oconto County Board and several civic organizations went on record early in 1984 seeking consideration of a prison site in the area. The proposed prison near Milwaukee County Stadium has been stalled by a court battle started by the Milwaukee Brewers baseball organization Matty said Gov, Anthony Earl was to meet with Oconto Mayor Glenn Garvey and members of the Oconto Industrial Development Commission at the Rustic Manor restaurant in Ashwaubenon today, He said the meeting was planned for 3:45 p.m. Garvey said participants would include Oconto County Board Chairman Oscar Ta-chick, Chester Katch of the Industrial Development Commission and Robert Safford of First National Bank of Oconto.

Garvey had no immediate comment on the meeting. "With the intense resistance encountered by the Milwaukee siting plan, I suspect everyone concerned might welcome Oconto as an option," said Matty. "Why should the administration go to the trouble and expense of trying to force a prison into a community that doesn't want it when Oconto has requested the project and offered appropriate sites?" Because of the stalemate in Milwaukee, several bills have been introduced in the Legislature to put another prison in Waupun. two weeks in this small courtroom a few steps from the elevator on the second floor of the Public Safety Building, just above the Sheriffs Department communications room. The media get the best seats in the house, the first row on both sides.

The electronic media took one side. They hauled in their cameras and tape re- -corders and sat with wires running from the plugs in their ears to the electronic gear. The print media took the other side. They set up a camera which looks like a telescope and sat with little notepads and pens. The rest of the crowd had to look around the cameras to see the front of the courtroom.

He's heard or read the accounts which accuse his son of murdering Anderson, but he doesn't believe them. He won't believe them no matter what the jury decides, he said. He's taking prescription drugs to calm his nerves. This trial should be a good one, better than the Robert BuUk trial a few months ago, one lady said. That trial talked about love and marriage, teachers and children, a bathtub and carbon monoxide poisoning.

Bulik was convicted of homicide by reckless conduct in the death of his wife, Pamela. He's now serving a 10-year prison sentence. This one should be different. Murder. Drugs.

Alcohol. Motorcycle groups. Fights. And horror. That's what will be told for the next By Keith Goldschmidt Of the Press-Gazette At 7:30 a.m.

Tuesday, spectators began filling the hallway outside the courtroom where Randolph Whiting is being tried for murdering Margaret Anderson. Edgar Whiting, Randolph's father, was one of the first. He and nine relatives drove from Oconto along icy roads to see and hear the events that will shape Randolph's future. But there were others standing or sitting in this small hallway waiting for the doors to open so they could get a seat. A woman with blue-tinted hair.

Retired folks wearing-casual clothes, you'd expect them to wear while watching the Packers on TV. Younger folks, but not many. About the only suits in the hallway belonged to the men with badges sticking out of their front pockets.

George Tinti's hopes of running in the Boston Marathon may have been dashed when he was hit in the eye by a beer bottle thrown from an approaching car.
