International A ''chemical detonation'' possibly caused by a bomb may have ripped through the front cargo hold of an Air-India jetliner last year, according to a team of five Indian scientists. The Boeing 747, flying from Montreal to London, crashed in the Atlantic off Cork, Ireland, killing all 329 people on board. [ Page A1, Column 1. ] One engine of the jet that crashed in Gander, Newfoundland, on Dec. 12, killing 248 American servicemen, was delivering less power than the three other engines at the moment of impact, according to investigators. They said the slower rotation of the right outboard engine could have contributed to the crash. [ A6:1-2. ]

International An effort to cut U.S. interest rates and those of Japan, Britain, France and West Germany grew more likely after a meeting of Treasury Secretary James A. Baker and top economic officials of the other countries. Mr. Baker, other Treasury officials and Paul A. Volcker, chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, met in London over the weekend with their counterparts. A high Treasury official said that the meeting welcomed the decline of the dollar ''to date,'' - a term he repeatedly emphasized -and that the Reagan Administration would like to see the dollar decline by more than the roughly 25 percent it fell from its peak last March.

Corazon C. Aquino, the opposition presidential candidate, has been mentioned by the main Philippine television channel exactly three times in the last 10 days, according to one of her lawyers. ''They weren't very flattering references, either,'' said the lawyer, Joker Arroyo. When the nation's major newspapers, all owned by friends or relatives of President Ferdinand E. Marcos, reported early in the campaign on the enthusiastic crowds Mrs. Aquino was attracting, sources at the newspapers say, the President himself called their editors to rebuke them. ''He came down on them like a ton of bricks,'' said a journalist at one of the papers. ''Now just try to find the opposition coverage.''

That compared with 22 percent in 1982 and 37 percent in 1980 reported by the Pentagon in earlier surveys. In recent interviews, field commanders of the four services also reported that drug abuse among the forces appeared to have declined.

PRESIDENT IS TOLD HOW HE MUST CUT FEDERAL SPENDING

Date: 21 January 1986

By Robert Pear, Special To the New York Times

Robert Pear

For the first time, the Comptroller General of the United States told the President today precisely what cuts he must make in Federal spending. The Comptroller General, Charles A. Bowsher, acted under a new budget-balancing law that does not permit the President to make any modifications in the Comptroller General's report. The Reagan Administration, which has strongly supported the new law in concept, says this provision violates the Constitution because it makes the President subservient to the Comptroller General, whom he appoints. Additional Cuts Listed The cuts listed in Mr. Bowsher's report, which total $11.7 billion, go beyond the recommendations he received last week from James C. Miller 3d, director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, and Rudolph G. Penner, director of the Congressional Budget Office.
