Imagine a publication that frequently carries ads for DeBeers diamonds at the same time it probably carries more classified ads for baseball cards than any other publication. What would you make of that?

By Jonathan Friendly THE WASHINGTON REPORTERS. By Ste- phen Hess. 174 pages. The Brookings In- stitution. Cloth, $17.95; paper, $6.95. WHAT can one learn from a book about the Washington press corps that doesn't discuss leaks, Watergate or George Will, that doesn't excoriate background sessions and unattributed quotes, and that only gently reminds one that the reporters there may be out of step with the rest of the country?

Negotiators for the newspaper unions and New York City's major newspapers pressed efforts yesterday to settle contract differences and avert a possible strike on Friday. The primary focus was on the talks involving the newspapers and the Newspaper Guild, which has set a deadline of 12:01 A.M. Friday for a strike if an agreement has not been reached by that time. The guild, which represents news, advertising and clerical employees, has not specified which newspaper or newspapers it would strike. The Daily News and The New York Times, through the Publishers Association of New York City, are negotiating together in dealing with the unions. The New York Post, which left the association three years ago in the midst of a strike by pressman, is negotiating separately with the unions.

In hearings beginning this week, the subcommittee on security and terrorism of the Senate Judiciary Committee will seek to publicize theories that the Soviet Union supports and directs an integrated network of terrorist organizations and has shaped Western public opinion to its advantage through a large-scale ''disinformation'' campaign, according to a subcommittee official. Joel S. Lisker, the chief counsel of the new subcommittee, said in a recent interview that ''we will do everything we can to modify and eliminate'' the guidelines imposed in 1975 to restrict infiltration and surveillance of domestic groups of political dissidents. Republican subcommittee members have also suggested that they will strongly urge the Reagan Administration to remove many of the restraints on intelligence agencies. In the view of some conservatives, this would permit a revitalized and newly motivated corps of Government investigators to gather evidence on a security problem that they believe has been unwisely discounted in recent years.

As an academic critic of the Carter Administration's approach to South Africa, Chester Crocker found a lot to criticize. There was too much in the way of ''verbal flagellation and lectures from the American pulpit,'' he wrote, and not enough effort to define attainable goals. And there were too many ''false signals'' and not enough ''constructive engagement'' with South African policy makers, who might be more forthcoming, it was argued, if they found the United States more predictable. Former Carter Administration officials would be hard put to deny that the Crocker critique had force.

WORRYING about Congressional action on President Reagan's proposed three-year, 30 percent tax-cut program, Administration spokesmen have been playing down the surprisingly strong surge of the gross national product in this year's first quarter. ''Real'' G.N.P. - total national output adjusted for inflation - climbed at an annual rate of 6.5 percent. Commerce Secretary Malcolm Baldrige, attributing much of the first quarter's strength to the ''momentum'' of the final quarter of 1980, assured reporters that the strong pace ''almost surely won't be sustained.'' Murray L. Weidenbaum, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, who had described the economy as ''soft'' and ''soggy'' just a few days earlier, conceded that the first-quarter rise had been ''nice'' but said it would not be duplicated.

The appointment of Stanley Sporkin to the post of general counsel of the Central Intelligence Agency may bring dismay to some in the intelligence field, but it is sure to evoke broad sighs of relief in many corporate boardrooms. Mr. Sporkin, 49 years old, has spent most of his professional career at the Securities and Exchange Commission, where he was instrumental in transforming a sleepy regulatory agency concerned with the securities markets into a highly visible and feared agency on the watch for corporate wrongdoing. Such a reputation for openness is not likely to endear him to those who work in a realm known for intrigue and secretiveness, but it has served him well as the head, since 1974, of the S.E.C.'s enforcement division, an elite group comprising mostly young, bright lawyers.

International A decision to sell arms to Saudi Arabia was formally announced by the White House. The multibillion-dollar sale will include five Airborne Warning and Control System planes. The formal announcement, making official a decision that actually was reached on April 2, said the ''United States has made a commitment to Saudi Arabia to move forward.'' State Department officials said that following the Administration's public announcment of its commitment to Saudi Arabia it might delay for several months its formal notification to Congress, thus opening the way to a Congressional debate. (Page A1, Column 6.) Pakistan was offered arms and economic aid by the Reagan Administration, its Foreign Minister, Agha Shahi, said after two days of talks with Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr. and other officials. The assistance, to be spread over five years, is being offered to offset the Soviet threat from Afghanistan. Pakistan would get $500 million in the first year, Mr. Shahi said, though Mr. Haig said no figure had been settled upon. Last year, Pakistan rejected as ''peanuts'' a Carter Administration offer of $400 million over two years. (A1:5.)

International Opposition to human rights violations by the United States was endorsed by Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr. In an address in Washington before the Trilateral Commission, a private group, he said that the United States should oppose all human rights violations ''by ally or adversary, friend or foe,'' but be more critical of ''totalitarian'' governments than of ''authoritarian'' ones. Mr. Haig's aides said the Administration's human rights policy was still being reviewed. They said the Secretary's speech was authoritiative but was not necessarily the final word. (Page A1, Column 1.) Much of Beirut was under fire as fighting between Syrian and Christian forces intensified. Beirut's international airport was closed after a runway was shelled. Several people were killed, and hospitals on both sides of the Green Line dividing the city into Moslem and Christian zones reported many people wounded. (A1:3.)

COLLEEN DEWHURST has played a great range of roles in the theater, but never one like this: She is going to direct a play for the first time. The play is ''Ned and Jack,'' a new work by Sheldon Rosen, an American playwright living in Canada and making his New York debut. The production will open May 13 for a monthlong run at the Hudson Guild Theater. ''It's a fascinating play because it's about actors and playwrights,'' Miss Dewhurst said over the phone from the QE2 while cruising in the Caribbean and resting up for her new venture. Of the three characters in ''Ned and Jack,'' two are actors, John and Ethel Barrymore, and one is a playwright, Edward Sheldon, John Barrymore's close friend. It was Sheldon who talked the matinee idol into branching out as an actor by taking on classical roles.
