to I IMF I I III I' aiceio wins 'bigofrof month' citation make upxmst of the election fare in Brooklyn this year. But at least one intra-organization fight is in store among the regulars as former Assemblyman Peter Mirto is gearing up for a challenge to incumbent Judge Jerome L. Steinberg, a 10-year bench veteran. Steinberg will be seeking reelection in the Third Municipal Court district which is compared principally of the 58th A.D. (Bush wick).

The rest of the Jerome Steinberg Peter Mirto HE COALITION for Lesbian and I i-Gay 'Rights descended upon Park LJ Slope Saturday to demonstrate against Councilman-at-Large Vincent Riccio as the "bigot of the month." We don't know if Riccio received a plaque along with the designation, but if he did, we're sure he would display if proudly among other awards he's received. Riccio, the only Conversative in the council, earned the citation, according to the gay organization, because he was "excessively abusive towards lesbians and gay me" at last November's hearings on the gay rights bill. Riccio was the most vociferous foe of the bill, which was again defeated. Riccio and the gays had clashed previously during the 1977 campaign when he made his opposition to gays in government a major issue because one of his opponents, Liberal Gary Dean, is an avowed homosexual. Riccio ran as a Conservative when he failed to get the Republican nomination although he is the 51sr A.D.

(Park Slope) Republican leader. The demonstration was conducted in front of Riccio's political headquarters, the Park Republican Club at 409 Ninth St, but there was no sign of Riccio. According to his friends, he's in a hospital "undergoing tests." They refused to amplify on his condition or to disclose what hospital he's in. KOCH, CUOMO TO MEET: The coolness that has existed between Mayor Koch and Lt Gov.

JUDGESHIP ELECTIONS: Regular Democratic organization designees will probably get primary challenges from reformers in the six countywide and two district Civil Court judge races that will State Sen. Thomas Bartosiewicz hammers away at abandoned meat plant in Greenpoint yesterday.

Heef up protests on old meat plant By OWEN FITZGERALD A delegation of Greenpoint civic representatives campaigning for demolition of the abandoned Trunz meat processing plant will meet with aides to Mayor Koch at City Hall today. The meeting resulted from a demonstration staged by about 40 persons who drove a truckload of their own demolition debris from the site to City Hall Friday. Gift-wrapped blocks Their leaders, including State Sen. Thomas Bartosiewicz (D-Brooklyn), "presented" two gift-wrapped chunks of cinder block they earlier had removed from the vacant factory site at Kingsland and Meeker Aves. Gerald Skurnik, aide to John LoCicero, who will meet with local spokesmen today, "accepted" the symbolic gifts.

Greenpoint and Williamsburg civic groups have been trying to get the vacant building razed or used for new industrial purposes ever since the meat firm abandoned it in 1972 and the city inherited it for unpaid taxes. Bartosiewicz threat It has since become a neighborhood eyesore, a dumping ground for garbage and refuse and a hangout for derelicts and criminal elements, local leaders complain. "We want it demolished within six months. Anymore footdragging by the city and there may be a repeat of the 1976 traffic blockade on the nearby Brooklyn-Queens Expressway," said Bartosiewicz. district includes small portions of the 56th A.D.

(Bedford-Stuyvesant), 57th A.D. (Williamsburg) and 59th A.D. (Greenpoint). Mirto held the 58th A.D. seat for eight years but lost it to Victor Robles last year.

Mirto appears to have an uphill fight on his hands since the regular organization power in the district is controlled by Robles and Councilman Luis Olmedo, who doubles as the Democratic district leader. To combat them, Mirto has formed a coalition of civic organizations made up of Italian, Irish, and Polish factions.
