Nicaragua's Ambassador to Washington has called for a ''dramatic change'' in the direction of the Sandinist Government, saying that it could ease its isolation by improving relations with neighboring governments and by increasing political freedom at home. The Ambassador, Francisco Fiallos Navarro, made his comments in an interview that local authorities here banned from an opposition newspaper. (Repeated efforts, both by telephone and through Nicaraguan officials, to reach Mr. Fiallos, who was believed to be in the United States, were unsuccessful this weekend. A spokesman for the Nicaraguan Embassy in Washington declined to comment on the interview.)

In the month since the death of Leonid I. Brezhnev and the succession of Yuri V. Andropov as head of the Soviet Communist Party, the bureaucratic immobility that characterized the last period of Mr. Brezhnev's rule has shown signs of giving way to a new vigor in the Kremlin. So far there have been only a few concrete steps taken to back up Mr. Andropov's demand in his first major speech for an end to the slipshod ways that have become commonplace in official Soviet life. But some high-level dismissals and appointments, coupled with a Politburo call for resolute action against crime and corruption, appear to be harbingers of a new toughness. What remains uncertain is the extent of Mr. Andropov's power within the Politburo, the 12-member inner cabinet of the party. Some developments, such as the intensified demands for a crackdown on officials and managers abusing their positions for personal gain, seem to bear the new leader's hallmark. But there are other indications that he may not yet have established pre-eminent authority over others in the ruling group.

''In no other known instance in American jurisprudence,'' lawyers for Kathy Boudin contend, ''has an accused been compelled to stand trial in such a small, aroused community where the accumulated data is as massive on the issue of actual bias as that now before this court.'' Such concern about fairness in a widely publicized case, such as the Brink's murder and robbery case is not new. But the extent to which Miss Boudin's lawyers, seeking to move the case out of Rockland County, have sought to document and measure that hostility does make the Brink's case something of a legal landmark. Miss Boudin is one of six defendants who are to be tried for the Oct. 20, 1981, Brink's robbery and murder of two policemen and a guard.

News Summary; TUESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1982

Date: 14 December 1982

International Poland's leaders announced actions that they said would ''suspend'' martial law. But the legislation submitted to Parliament would leave the military regime with sweeping powers, shift key regulations to the regular penal code and underscore the Government's power to put other martial law restrictions back into force at any time. (Page A1, Column 2.) Criticism of Poland's moves to ease martial law was expressed by Secretary of State George P. Shultz after he met in Rome with Pope John Paul II. Mr. Shultz said the steps did not seem to meet the Western allies' criteria for lifting economic and political sanctions against Warsaw. (A11:1.)
