International The cease-fire in southern Lebanon appeared to be holding, despite a Palestinian rocket attack on two towns in southern Lebanon held by Maj. Saad Haddad's Israeli-backed militia. A small but well organized guerrilla faction, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command, said it was responsible for the shelling, and said it would not take part in suspect cease-fire.'' The group's defiance raised the question whether Yasir Arafat, chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization, would be able to keep other guerrilla factions from violating the cease-fire. (Page 1, Col. 6.) The United States thanked three of the leaders involved in bringing about the cease-fire that ended 16 days of intense shelling on the Lebanese-Israeli border. State Department officials said that Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr. had sent messages of ''appreciation and thanks'' to President Elias Sarkis of Lebanon, Prime Minister Menachem Begin of Israel and Crown Prince Fahd of Saudi Arabia. Yasir Arafat of the P.L.O. was omitted, because of a 1975 understanding with Israel that Washington would not deal directly with the P.L.O. (1:5.)

Television - or more specifically, television news - has begun making tenative efforts to investigate itself. This summer, WBBM-TV, the CBS-owned station in Chicago, presented a one-hour documentary, ''Watching the Watchdog,'' that promised to examine controversial techniques of reporting on television, including its own. Instead, the program became largely an indictment of ABC News and Geraldo Rivera, its controversial correspondent. ABC News responded with a one-hour rebuttal. The partisan crossfire may have diminished the impact of both efforts, but they at least suggested the possibility that self-examination was a worthy subject for television.

After newspaper articles had disclosed that many imprisoned criminals were receiving monthly Social Security benefits - including David Berkowitz, the so-called Son of Sam killer in New York - President Jimmy Carter last October signed into law legislation restricting the benefits. The law applied only to prisoners convicted of felonies, and it banned payment to them of one type of Social Security: disability insurance.
