International A compromise with Congress on aid for the Nicaraguan rebels is now sought by the Reagan Administration, which faces defeat on Capitol Hill over its $100 million proposal for the anti-Sandinistas. However, the Administration's intense public campaign to win support for the program was continued by President Reagan in his weekly radio speech. [ Page 1, Column 1. ]

International A cut in Soviet-bloc missions to the United Nations was ordered by the Reagan Administration. The Soviet, Ukranian and Byelorussian missions were ordered to reduce their staff by 38 percent. The Administration accused them of espionage and said the size of their missions was ''a threat to national security.'' [ Page 1, Col. 1. ] South Africa's emergency decree was rescinded and the Government announced the release of what it said were the last 327 of almost 8,000 people detained since last July 21, when the state of emergency was declared. The police may still detain people without charge and search their premises, but the security legislation that enables them to do so is said by police officers to require more bureaucratic procedures than the emergency decree.

How far can, and should, television go in presenting a Soviet, or anti-democratic, anti-United States position? The question will not go away; it is constantly resurrected. The networks grow increasingly supranational, roaming the world like sovereign powers. Journalism and self-interest clash; expedience and opportunity play a part. It is unlikely, for example, that ABC News would have put a Communist functionary in Moscow on the air to rebut President Reagan's recent speech on military spending if ABC News had not been all over Moscow in the first place, covering the Communist Party Congress. Even Roone Arledge, the president of ABC News, was there. Television news is egocentric, and ABC News presumably thought that because it was in Moscow, the center of journalistic gravity and urgency had to be there, too. Ergo, ABC allowed Vladimir Posner, a party spokesman, to criticize Mr. Reagan as ''dishonest'' on a domestic American issue.

South Africa ordered the expulsion today of three representatives of CBS News, one of them an American. The action came after the network broadcast videotape footage this week of a mass funeral in a township near Johannesburg from which television cameras had been formally banned. The expulsion order, effective Tuesday, was by far the most drastic action against a foreign news organization in years and was viewed here as certain to be interpreted as a warning to others that they might also be expelled by the authorities. The expulsion coincided with the formal lifting of restrictions on television coverage of South Africa's unrest imposed in a seven-month emergency decree. [ In New York, CBS issued a protest, saying it was studying the expulsion order and intended ''to utilize all appropriate avenues of appeal.'' ] Those ordered to leave the country by Tuesday were Allen Pizzey, a reporter and Canadian national ordinarily based in Athens; William Mutschmann, an American who is manager of the CBS bureau here, and Wim de Vos, a cameraman and Dutch national who has lived in South Africa for 11 years.

The PGA Tour has notified Mac O'Grady that it intends to take disciplinary action against him once again for ''conduct unbecoming a professional'' as a result of statements attributed to the outspoken golfer in recent newspaper reports. The action could be a fine or a suspension, although Commissioner Deane Beman declined to say what the penalty might be. O'Grady has been disciplined by the tour twice before, including a $500 fine one year ago for what officials said were discourteous remarks to a tournament committee volunteer. He was notified of the latest action Wednesday and has 30 days from then to appeal. His attorney, Steve Novak of San Diego, said today he would represent the California golfer in an appeal.

Dozens of Harvard women found their way this week to a suburban Holiday Inn where a photographer from Playboy magazine took Polaroid snapshots of them, clothed, and asked them to fill out applications listing their hobbies, academic majors and measurements. The magazine was recruiting candidates for its ''Women of the Ivy League'' feature, to be published in October. In the process, it kicked off a Ivy League-wide debate on the effects of pornography and on the responsibilities of student newspapers. The Harvard Crimson refused to print a Playboy advertisement for the recruiting sessions conducted by David Chan, a staff photographer for the magazine. ''The editorial meeting was held a week after we received the ad,'' said Joseph S. Kahn, president of The Crimson. ''After three hours of debate, we decided to reject the ad on the grounds that Playboy and the advertisement degrade women, and we at The Crimson did not want to aid the degradation by printing the ad.''

A close aide to Shimon Peres put the Israeli Prime Minister's position on President Reagan's ''Star Wars'' missile-defense program in unequivocal terms. ''If Reagan had not come up with S.D.I. for any other reason, he should have done it for Shimon Peres alone,'' said the aide, using the initials for the Strategic Defense Initiative, as the ''Star Wars'' program is officially known. Though controversy surrounds ''Star Wars'' in the United States and in other countries that have been invited by the Pentagon to take part in the program, there is no discernible debate in Israel over the desirability of taking part.
