JOURNALIST AND MEDIATOR

He has been a Congressional aide, a political strategist, a radio and television commentator, a teacher, the author of three books, a leader of black organizations and a newspaper reporter, editor and columnist. And to this varied career in recent years, Chuck Stone has added a kind of credit that never appears in biographical directories: that of mediator between fugitives and prisoners, on one hand, and the authorities on the other. In 1972, when 100 inmates staged a work stoppage at a state prison near Wilkes-Barre, Pa., it was Mr. Stone, a newly hired columnist for The Philadelphia Daily News, who was called in to mediate. Within a day, dozens of grievances were resolved, tensions had ebbed and the trouble was settled peacefully.

The Reagan Administration has found itself in a new dispute with Israel that raises questions about Washington's ability to encourage both a continuing Saudi Arabian involvement in Middle East diplomacy and an early resolution of the Egyptian-Israeli negotiations on Palestinian self-rule. President Reagan and Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr. insist that they are solidly behind the ''Camp David process,'' the Administration's term for the talks on Palestinian autonomy and the fulfillment of terms of the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty. With King Hussein of Jordan having arrived here today for talks with President Reagan, the scene has been set for a public discussion of the Administration's Middle East strategy, if indeed the Administration is ready to go beyond generalities. U.S. Response to Saudi Plan Senior officials say they cannot understand why Prime Minister Menachem Begin of Israel has evidently chosen to make a major issue out of the Administration's modest words of welcome for some aspects of an eight-point list of principles for a Middle East solution that was offered in August by Crown Prince Fahd of Saudi Arabia. Mr. Begin, appearing on the ABC News program ''Issues and Answers'' today from Jerusalem, acknowledged receipt of a letter from President Reagan in which ''he reassures me that the United States are committed to the security of Israel,'' and that the United States ''will safeguard - this is the expression - the military and technological advantages of Israel.''

The unified oil price that OPEC members agreed on last week can be viewed as a peace treaty between Saudi Arabia and the group's 12 other members. But the new peace may be fragile, largely because of pressures in the marketplace and lingering animosities caused by the previous 10 months of sometimes bitter dissension over prices. The members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries achieved the consensus that had eluded them in two previous meetings here this year by setting a common base price of $34 a barrel - replacing a system that had permitted Saudi Arabia to use a $32 base while other members used $36. The 13 thus displayed a sense of common purpose that had been lacking for more than two years. But the fact that Subroto, Indonesia's oil minister and president of the conference, made a point in OPEC's communique of the organization's continuing ''relevance'' seemed distant from the group's former image of being all-powerful.

By all indications, an attempt on the political life of Chancellor Helmut Schmidt - a move toward the jugular that was expected by some after he received a heart pacemaker on Oct. 12 - is not taking place. In fact, after some deep and tangible slippage in the Chancellor's effectiveness over the last months, the heart episode seems to have stabilized the political situation around him for the time being. After months of debilitating intraparty sniping, Social Democratic Members of Parliament wildly applauded Mr. Schmidt at a caucus last Tuesday. They may not have been prostrating themselves, but the effect was similar.

The Koch administration and the union representing New York City's police officers both say they want many patrol cars to carry one officer instead of two. But both sides also hint that their failure to reach an agreement on the subject after 10 months of talks could mean that the differences separating them are insurmountable. The issue that brought the negotiations to a standstill two weeks ago was the same one that has hung over the bargaining table like a dark cloud all along - the safety of the officers who would be assigned to patrol alone. The union is seeking guarantees that there would be a specific number of patrol cars in each of the affected precincts to provide immediate backup help, but the city has refused to be tied to specific numbers of cars, saying that such decisions are management prerogatives.

National A delay in deficit-cutting tax increases until 1983 and 1984 has been backed by top tax officials in the Administration and in the Senate. But Treasury Secretary Donald T. Regan and Bob Dole, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, disagreed on how large the increases would have to be. Mr. Regan, who is reluctant to raise taxes, wants major spending cuts to reduce budget deficits. Mr. Dole believes that a large tax increase would have to be part of any effort to achieve a balanced budget by 1984, which is President Reagan's aim. (Page A1, Column 6.) 12 demands by the captors of hostages remaining at the state prison in Graterford, Pa., after 29 others were released over the weekend, were made in talks with a Philadelphia columnist who acted as an intermediary. He described the demands as ''reasonable, not extravagant.'' (A16:1-2.) Eugene Tafoya's lawyers attempted up to the last minute to have his trial on charges of shooting a Libyan student in Colorado last year moved from Fort Collins, Colo., to another place. The trial was scheduled to begin today. One of two Denver attorneys representing Mr. Tafoya, a former Green Beret, said he would renew a motion for change of venue. (B10:1-4.)

International The U.S. stressed the Camp David approach to a Middle East peace. President Reagan also told King Hussein of Jordan that it was imperative to cooperate in seeking an overall settlement in the region. But there was no indication of any change in Jordan's refusal to take part in negotiations arising from the Egyptian-Israeli accords, and later the monarch publicly endorsed Saudi Arabia's plan for regional peace. (Page A1, Column 6.) Creation of a P.L.O.-governed state is essential to the Middle East peace plan proposed by Saudi Arabia, according to Crown Prince Fahd. In expressing support for the Palestine Liberation Organization, the Saudi leader asserted that the Camp David accords were ''a dead end.'' (A8:1.)

DISSECTING A VINTAGE EXAMPLE OF A POLITICAL RUMOR

Date: 03 November 1981

By Leslie H. Gelb, Special To the New York Times

Leslie Gelb

In the right hands at the right time, the strategically placed political rumor is perhaps the most subtle and lethal weapon in the arsenal of the Washington bureaucrat. This kind of rumor is part of the serious maneuvering and jockeying for power in Washington. It is based on the realities of political opposition and is thus to be distinguished from rumor rooted in nothing more than gossip carelessly reported in a newspaper. Skillfully used, a well-timed political rumor can enable a policymaker to usurp a rival's authority, undercut his influence with the President and, if successful enough, unseat him.
