Vice President George Bush urged the Soviet Union today to accept President Reagan's invitation to sign a pact banning medium-range nuclear weapons. He said U.S. negotiators will continue pounding away lor soviet acceptance of Reagan's proposals. "I believe the Soviet leadership should seize the moment and join us in banning the weapons," Bush said at a news conference. "Ours is a moral position, and we (NATO members) stand together in this position." But Novosti, an official Soviet news agency, today denounced the Reagan offer to meet with Soviet leader Yuri Andropov "wherever and whenever he wants" to sign a disarmament pact. The agency called the proposal a rehash of the "zero option," which the Kremlin already has turned down. On Monday night, Bush responded to Soviet overtures to Western European officials and peace groups by reading an "open letter to the people 01 iLurope in wnicn neagan made his offer.

(AP) The Tennessee; VaIIpv Aiithnritv's shipments of low-level radioactive waste to a S.C. disposal site probably won't be affected by proposed new regulation in that state, a TVA official said yesterday. But Lenon Riales, supervisor of TVA's radioactive waste management group, said he could not comment in detail until he reviews the proposal before the S.C. Senate. Under the proposed legislation, nuclear waste shipments would have to be inspected or insured under a $1 million bond before they could be brought into South Carolina. State Sen. Tom Smith of Florence, who is sponsoring the bill, says nuclear shipments should receive the same kind of scrutiny given to bushes and trees shipped into the state.

Soviets to ban Reagan administration continues to be oblivious of the fact that people expect of it not pompous but empty eulogies on the need to reduce arms, but concrete deeds to further the samfi" Bush, who visited the Berlin Wall today, acknowledged that Reagan's offer to ban all land-based, intermediate-range nuclear weapons amounted to a restatement of his "zero option" plan. "That is no reason we should not in Geneva be pounding away" to try to get the Soviets to accept the proposal, he said, referring to U.S.-Soviet arms reduction talks in Switzerland. Bush was making the second stop of a 12-day European tour intended to win popular support for NATO policies and offset opposition to the planned deployment of new U.S. nuclear missiles in Western Eurone* About 8,000 Berlin leftists marched in a cold rain Monday to protest U.S. foreign policy. Most of their placards were directed against U.S. policy in Latin America, but the marchers also demonstrated against the NATO missile plan. 8 DETROIT (AP) spruce up their imag tradition as venerabl Dirty city air and r and increased use < demise of ragtops. mourned in 1976, wl U.S.-built convertible the soft tops are back "People say, 'I thi one of the prettiest c Barish Chrysler Ply been selling 10 conv including one to actoi "Performance and (and are important DeScenza, analyst a York.

TVA, a federal utility, estimates it is generating 110,000 cubic feet of radioactively contaminated garbage a year from its two operating nuclear power plants, the three-reactor Browns Ferry facility near Athens, Ala., and the two-unit Sequoyah plant near Chattanooga. The trash includes gloves, mops, cleaning resins, wood, broken tools and other items contaminated in radiation exposure 1 1--A aicas ui uucicdl picllllS.

"I make this offer out of a conviction that such an agreement would serve the interests of both sides and, most importantly, that the people of Europe want nothing more," he said. "I urge Mr. Andropov to accept it."
