Gen. David Ivri. In response, other military correspondents told the military command here that they would prefer not to participate in the conference at this time.

G.C.M. Mutiso and Michael A. Moscardini do not expect their little experiment in swapping skills to change the world. They will be happy, they say, if it simply makes the newspapers they work for a little better, a little more professional, a little more sensitive to the interests and needs of their readers. Mr. Mutiso is assistant managing editor of The Nation, one of Nairobi's three dailies, with a circulation of 100,000 throughout Kenya. For three months he has been working at The St. Petersburg Times, sitting in with the top editors and studying how the newspaper is managed. In January Mr. Moscardini, who supervises the national and international coverage of The Times, will go to The Nation for three months. The swap is a low-key statement in what has been a long debate over how to expand the communications skills of developing countries and give Western audiences third-world news that is not limited to coups, earthquakes and famines.

A labor dispute involving 92 electricians that has kept The Times of London from printing for six days took a turn for the worse today as management threatened to stop paying all 2,400 employees of The Times and The Sunday Times. The statement by Times Newspapers Ltd., which is owned by News International Group, headed by Rupert Murdoch, said that the wage freeze would be imposed unless a settlement was reached in time to publish Friday's paper. The threat was accompanied by renewed warnings that the future of the prestigious but deficit-ridden papers was once more in jeopardy.

Within days of taking office this month, Mexico's new President, Miguel de la Madrid Hurtado, moved to carry out an ambitious campaign pledge to end corruption and curb abuses of power by the Government. But the huge package of ''moral renovation'' proposals the President sent to Congress also included a new libel law purportedly aimed at punishing irresponsible journalism. And the resulting protests by newspapers at what they call the gag law has come to overshadow the entire anticorruption debate. Every day columnists have been denouncing the law as an attack on press freedom. One recent morning, cartoonists in most Mexican newspapers published a blank space to protest the bill. The previous day, journalists held a silent demonstration outside the Senate building where the law was being debated.

At midterm, the once-dazzling political momentum of what conservatives enthusiastically called the Reagan Revolution has stalled. In the year ahead, President Reagan faces what his allies and advisers see as the most critical tests of his Presidency both at home and abroad. ''Historically, the third year is the one that makes or breaks a Presidency, and Ronald Reagan's third year is more critical for him than any President since World War II,'' said Richard Wirthlin, the President's longtime poll-taker and a fellow California Republican conservative. ''It's the year when people will judge the President not only by the goals he articulated in the campaign or the legislation he has passed, but how his program has affected their lives,'' Mr. Wirthlin said. ''It's also a year in which foreign policy will be given a more severe test.''

Did the Turkish gunman who shot Pope John Paul II in St. Peter's Square on May 13, 1981, act on the orders of the Bulgarian secret police? If he did, was it at the behest of the K.G.B., headed at the time by Yuri V. Andropov, now the Soviet party leader? Neither question, in the forefront of governmental, journalistic and public discussion in Italy and elsewhere, can be answered on the basis of evidence now available. But if it turns out that the Bulgarian secret police guided the actions of Mehmet Ali Agca, the Turkish gunman serving a life sentence after one of the most rapid trials in Italian judicial history since World War II, then, it is generally believed, the ultimate responsibility rests with Moscow. Nothing in the history of postwar Bulgaria points to an appreciable measure of independence from the Soviet Union, particularly not in foreign affairs. Political, diplomatic and intelligence experts in non-Communist countries hold it to be inconceivable that Bulgarian secret agents would have undertaken so portentous an assignment as the assassination of the Pope except on express orders of the Soviet Union. It is also a matter of common belief among Western secret services that Bulgaria has rendered aid to the Soviet K.G.B. in general espionage and ''dirty-trick'' activities in Western and pro-Western countries and has not hesitated to order its agents to kill ''enemies'' on foreign soil.

If dog bites man is not news and man bites dog is news, what is it when nobody bites anybody? Good news, and as the year draws to a close, some of it is worth celebrating. For once, the price of the postage stamp did not increase.

International Lebanon and Israel opened talks designed to bring about a withdrawal of Israeli, Syrian and Palestinian forces from Lebanese soil. Israel also hopes that the negotiations, being held outside Beirut amid tight security, will pave the way for an Israeli-Lebanese peace treaty. (Page A1, Column 1.) Ethnic tension among Israeli Jews has re-emerged over the fatal shooting of a man by a policeman in a housing dispute. The shooting occurred in a Tel Aviv slum dominated by Sephardic Jews from Middle Eastern countries. Officials have received threats, and swastikas and slogans against Ashkenazim, or Jews of European stock, have been spray-painted on cars and buildings in affluent sectors of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. (A7:1.)

If you cannot write straight, Herbert Sturz decided, you cannot think straight. So, when he was one of New York City's deputy mayors, he would assign an essay topic or two to every job applicant. ''Come back with it in a couple of days,'' he would say. Ellen Schall came back with essays on how to speed up the time between arrest and arraignment and how judges should be trained. Mr. Sturz hired her on the spot.
