Five times Mr. Danchev told listeners around the world that Afghanistan was the victim of Soviet aggression.

Cuba's official Communist Party newspaper, Granma, harshly criticized President Reagan today and denied charges he made last week that there was ''strong evidence'' of Cuban involvement in the illicit drug trade that flows through Miami. The President, in a speech to Cuban expatriates in Miami on Friday, demanded an accounting from the Havana Government on whether this was ''officially sanctioned.''

Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger is limiting attendance by senior Pentagon officials at breakfasts with reporters after policy differences were aired at two such meetings. ''There is something about coffee and eggs at an early hour that causes people to be contentious,'' one department official said today. The first evidence of a crackdown, a term that Mr. Weinberger's aides dispute, came when Lawrence Korb, Assistant Secretary of Defense for manpower affairs, was told he should cancel a scheduled June 2 breakfast with reporters. Mr. Korb was reported to be appealing to Mr. Weinberger because, as one source put it, ''Larry has a lot of good things he wants to get out.''

How Best to Brief The craft of briefing may be a dubious enterprise, is probably not an art and is certainly not a science, but this does not deter governments in their efforts to get their points across to reporters and other purveyors of information and opinion. And with the economic summit meeting coming up this weekend in Williamsburg, Va., the Reagan Administration is hustling to brief opinion moulders arriving by the hundreds from around the world. Yesterday, President Reagan canceled his regular appointment schedule to confer with his staff on how best to handle all the briefing and backgrounding. The White House was said to feel that, so far, too much of the advance reporting on the meeting concerned such things as logistics, the kind of food to be eaten and the planned pageantry in the restored colonial village. Meanwhile, the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company announced that 400 of its employees, working since January at Williamsburg, had installed 5,000 telephones, 68 telex machines, 25 miles of cable and communications equipment to deal with ''hostage situations, bomb threats and other acts of terrorism.''

The scandal over the fake Hitler diaries has produced an upheaval and an identity crisis at Stern magazine that has spread into the tightly interlocked world of Hamburg's liberal journalistic community. As embarrassing details came to light over how Stern bought the bogus diaries for a reported $3.7 million and furtively rushed them into print, the West German press has been forced into its most intense self-scrutiny in two decades. The central exhibit in this self-examination is Stern, a slick weekly that popularized a mixture of anti-Americanism and a subtle German nationalism. A New Tone Is Possible Paying its journalists top salaries and eager to buy scoops for even larger sums, Stern and its provocative coverage seemed in tune with the agitated 1980's in West Germany - until Chancellor Helmut Kohl's conservative Christian Democrats came to power last fall. The scandal over the Hitler diaries may signal a new and mellower course.

The Reagan Administration's problems with Congress over Central America policy have worsened in recent weeks because of confusion over the Government's justification for supporting insurgents in Nicaragua. While still denying that they seek to overthrow the Government of Nicaragua, senior Administration officials have begun talking about the possibility that the paramilitary forces that the United States helped assemble and train may, acting without Washington's approval, force the Sandinists from power. There appear to be a number of reasons for discussing the prospect of a military success, even though it raises questions about the Administration's intentions. According to senior national security officials, these include a fear that Congress may cut off money to the rebels unless the cost of such a cutoff is made clear, and a sense that the insurgents have made significant military gains in recent weeks.

The House and the Senate, in separate versions of the budget resolution, have endorsed the idea of a new Federal program to provide health care for unemployed people. But the important details, such as the cost and structure of the program, remain to be worked out. The House agreed to spend $5.4 billion in the next two years. The Senate approved $1.8 billion for the same period and attached an important condition: Congress must raise new revenue equal to the program's cost.

Popping up on the Home Box Office schedule several times a month is a half-hour program called ''Not Necessarily the News.'' Inspired by, or cribbed from, Britain's ''Not the Nine O'Clock News,'' the show offers a frenetically paced collection of comedy segments, many of them using ''fractured film footage'' of current news events. The result, a sort of speeded-up ''Laugh-In,'' is inevitably uneven, but there are enough on-target routines to merit further encouragement.

International A return of several thousand Cubans who came to the United States as part of the boatlift of 125,000 Cubans that began in 1980 is sought by the Reagan Administration, the State Department announced. It said that Havana had been officially informed that until Cuba agreed to accept the ''ineligibles,'' no more immigrant visas would be granted to Cubans except for immediate relatives of those already in the United States. (Page A1, Col.1.) A top U.S. officer was slain in San Salvador. The American military attache said that Navy Commander Albert A. Schaufelberger, the deputy commander of the advisory group training Salvadoran troops, had been fatally shot outside the University of Central America by gunmen from a passing car. The commander was also head of the American military mission's security section. (A1:3-4.)
