The International Press Institute ended its 30th general assembly today with a resolution challenging the fitness of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization to protect and license journalists. The three-day meeting, attended by about 200 editors and publishers from non-Communist countries, also called for increased assistance to third world countries striving to develop journalism. Governments that harass journalists and do not tolerate freedom of the press, the institute declared, should not be trusted to protect or license journalists through an intergovernmental organization such as Unesco.

''What once was a Federal helping hand is quickly turning into a mailed fist,'' President Reagan complained yesterday in a speech to a group of mayors. Then he rejected the notion that the American people were to blame for a half-century of decline and added: ''If we are not, what is different? Well, the answer to that is the increased intervention of Federal authority.'' Mr. Reagan's sharp language and sweeping accusation are part of a broad effort by the White House to resurrect and upgrade the doctrine of states' rights. Its aim is to change states' rights from a discredited code word for racial discrimination into the guiding principle of intergovernmental relations in the Reagan Administration. The effort began on Feb. 19, the day after the President's budget address, when a White House spokesman said Mr. Reagan would begin ''paying attention to developing a new concept of federalism.'' Since then it has emerged as much more than a philosophical dalliance.

The Reagan Administration's military budget, coming on the heels of the big domestic budget cuts two weeks ago, signals a reversal of national priorities as basic and significant as did the Great Society programs of President Johnson in the mid-1960's. If the Administration has its way, its new military program will commit the nation to major long-term growth in Pentagon spending, just as the Johnson Great Society initiatives committed the nation to a huge buildup in domestic spending, long after Mr. Johnson had left the White House. The Reagan military budget represents an expansion of the Carter Administration's long-term effort to put the United States in a stronger position to deal militarily, if it wants, with global instability in trouble spots like the Persian Gulf, and it tacitly accepts that the threat of conventional war is greater there than in Europe. It goes beyond the Carter buildup of strategic forces with an expensive new manned bomber and a surge of naval growth. And, by emphasizing the need for a quick strategic spurt to match Soviet power, it contains the hint that the Reagan Administration believes that, in Winston Churchill's famous phrase, it must ''arm to parley'' with Moscow on arms control.

Governor Carey's program to help the Metropolitan Transportation Authority is causing a flurry of tart statements and controversy, but they are not all what they seem. ''There are always four factors involved in these types of decisions,'' said Richard Ravitch, the chairman of the M.T.A. ''They are personalities, political interests, geographic and economic interests and substance. In this case, we have an excess of the first three.'' There is an acute awareness here, for example, that no single political act is noticed more quickly by more people in the New York City metropolitan area than a fare increase.

Six weeks after President Reagan's inauguration, a variety of strikingly different and strongly held views continue to mark an economic team in which, by all accounts, David A. Stockman, director of the Office of Management and Budget, remains the central figure. By contrast, in a departure from past practice and from expectations, the Treasury Secretary, Donald T. Regan, has played only a modest role in shaping policy, and he has disappointed even his supporters in his performance as economic spokesman. That reading is shared by Reagan Administration officials and other Washington figures of various economic persuasions - though few, if any, are yet willing to criticize the Treasury Secretary publicly. In a series of interviews, officials credited Mr. Stockman and Murray L. Weidenbaum, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, with enforcing restraint by insisting on a credible economic plan and resisting more radical proposals sought by sub-Cabinet groups of ''supply-siders,'' who stress tax reduction and expectations, or of ''monetarists,'' who want slower money growth.

International A need for ''urgent'' action in Poland to counter a threat to Communism was agreed on by senior Polish and Soviet leaders in Moscow, according to the Polish press agency. The report said that the two sides had agreed that the preservation of Communism in one country concerned all Communist nations. Western analysts viewed the unexpected meeting as a new warning to Warsaw's leadership that it must resolve economic turmoil in Poland quickly. (Page A1, Column 1.) Fears of a rightist coup in El Salvador were raised as a military leader denounced any negotiations between the governing junta and the leftist insurgents. Sources close to President Jose Napoleon Duarte said that a trip to West Germany he had planned for the weekend had been canceled, apparently because of fear of a coup. The American Embassy issued a statement opposing any coup attempt after shots were fired at the embassy from a passing truck. (A1:1-3.)

International A negotiated peace in El Salvador will be sought this weekend in West Germany by President Jose Napoleon Duarte of El Salvador, according to sources close to him. West Germany's two major parties have been in close contact with both the junta and the left-wing insurgents and have reportedly sounded out possibilities for peace talks. (Page A1, Column 1.) No likelihood of combat involvement in El Salvador by American forces is foreseen by the Administration, President Reagan said. He denied that there was any parallel between the planned increase in military advisory aid in the conflict and the beginning of American involvement in Vietnam. (A1:2.)

A.C.R. Dreesmann, a Dutch businessman and part-time economics professor who has built a vast corporate empire in the Netherlands, admits to feeling a bit claustrophobic in his country of 14 million. ''In a small country like Holland,'' he said, ''you tend to become parochial. And now in our company we are opening up the window.'' Mr. Dreesmann had been opening that window gradually, until last week when his Amsterdam-based Vroom & Dreesmann entered American retailing in a big way. It formed a joint venture with W.R. Grace & Company to run all of Grace's nonrestaurant, retailing businesses, which had sales of $1 billion last year.
