John R. Block, the Secretary of Agriculture, has disavowed a fund-raising letter sent out with his signature by the Young Americans for Freedom saying President Reagan's views were not ''presented honestly by a biased news media.'' Michael J. Masterson, an aide to Mr. Block, said the letter had been signed by ''an overzealous staff member.''

The Warsaw Pact has again demanded that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization halt deployment of nuclear missiles in Western Europe and said the bloc's members ''insist'' the program be stopped as a condition for resuming arms limitation talks. A communique issued today by the seven Warsaw Pact Foreign Ministers, who ended a two-day meeting here, though repeating the Soviet bloc's position, contained some of the strongest language to date on the bloc's stand on resuming the Geneva arms talks. ''The meeting's participants pointed,'' the communique said, ''to the great responsibility of the states on whose territory the deployment of medium-range nuclear missiles has started or is being planned, responsibility for the fate of their own and all European peoples.

The drawn-out negotiations at Geneva have gained new impetus from Iraq's use of mustard and nerve gas in its war with Iran. President Reagan and his top aides also suspect, more dubiously, that chemical agents of some kind have been used by Vietnam. In any case, if other third-world countries resort to these easily made poisons, chemicals might quickly proliferate.

Two Soviet-built planes of ''unknown nationality'' fired on a United States Army helicopter today while it was on an observation mission along the West German-Czechoslovak border, the Pentagon announced. The Cobra helicopter was not hit by the rocket and cannon fire, the Pentagon said, and returned safely to its home station in West Germany. The brief announcement, which gave only sketchy information, said the Army's European headquarters in Stuttgart, West Germany, was investigating the incident, which occurred at 2:40 P.M. Mission Called Routine Pentagon officials said it was not known whether the helicopter entered Czechoslovak airspace or whether the MIG's entered West German airspace. (In Munich, an official of West Germany's paramilitary border police said there were ''indications that the helicopter was several kilometers into Czechoslovak territory'' when it was fired on. A United States Army spokesman in Stuttgart declined to comment on the statement.)

An explosion severely damaged the officers club at the Washington Navy Yard early this morning, and a group that said it opposed United States policy in Central America took responsibility. No one was in the building at the time. The Federal Bureau of Investigation said a group that called itself the Guerrilla Resistance Movement had taken responsibility for the bombing and had said it was ''in solidarity'' with the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front, one of five leftist guerrilla groups fighting Government forces in El Salvador's civil war. The liberation front itself, often referred to as the F.M.L.N., denied any connection with the bombing. A spokesman in Washington, Francisco Altschul, said the F.M.L.N and the Frente Democratico Revolucionario, or F.D.R., the political arm of the guerrilla movement, ''categorically denies any involvement or responsibility in today's bombing of a U.S. Navy facility in Washington or in any other similar incident in the U.S.''

An article in the Communist Party newspaper today rejected a new Western approach to troop reductions in Europe that the Reagan Administration had offered as an opening toward wider improvement in East-West relations. It was the second time this week that the Kremlin had reacted negatively to a Western arms initiative. Earlier commentaries in the party paper, Pravda, and elsewhere have dismissed a draft treaty on chemical weapons that Vice President Bush presented to the 40-nation conference on disarmament in Geneva four days ago. The Pravda commentary on the new Western offer at the talks on troop reductions in Central Europe avoided a detailed examination of the package, which was introduced three days ago at the East-West conference on the subject in Vienna. But Pravda said the proposals ''do not reflect even a semblance of the intention'' to overcome the central disagreement between the two sides on how many soldiers each has in Europe.

When the Mayor, Adrian Baca, ordered the defectors to return by Aug. 15, the authority sat tight in the sister town of Anthony, N.M. A rapprochement has been reached.
