The Navy officer in charge of fostering competition among contractors acknowledged today that military shipbuilding had been plagued by unrealistically low cost estimates and other contract abuses. ''Dealing with monopoly producers is not easy,'' Commodore Stuart Platt told the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee. ''They understand our options, at times better than we do.''

A Senate subcommittee today approved funds to expand the Army's biological warfare research, circumventing the objections of a ranking Democrat. Senator Mack Mattingly, a Georgia Republican, who is chairman of the Military Construction Appropriations Subcommittee, took the unusual step of polling members of the panel to approve $8.4 million requested by the Army to expand its Dugway, Utah, laboratories. The money had been sought through a special budget process in which unspent funds from earlier fiscal years can be put to other uses without Congressional debate.

Officials in the Reagan Administration said today that Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger would return from an overseas trip this weekend ready to fight for a large increase in next year's military budget despite growing pressures against an increase. ''He's ready to stand his ground,'' a Defense Department official said. Both Pentagon and White House officials cited what one called ''the identity of views'' held by President Reagan and Mr. Weinberger on military matters. The Secretary's associates said he was aware of his increasingly isolated position, having taken part in recent budget discussions with David A. Stockman, the budget director, and other senior officials.

President Reagan has asked his arms control advisers to tell the Soviet Union next month that he seeks stability in Soviet- American relations, White House officials said today. They said Mr. Reagan believes that his dual approach - a long-range program for research in defensive strategic systems and mutual reductions in offensive nuclear forces - contributes to stability. The officials said the President was taking a personal interest in the planning for the January session between Secretary of State George P. Shultz and Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko. Mr. Reagan has been joining in meetings, the officials said. They seemed eager to rebut a widespread view that Mr. Reagan was paying little attention to arms control issues and leaving them to aides.

President Reagan announced today that Paul H. Nitze would serve as the adviser of Secretary of State George P. Shultz for next month's arms talks with Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko of the Soviet Union. The decision opens the way for Mr. Nitze, a 77-year old specialist on national security affairs, to become the negotiator if Mr. Gromyko agrees to a proposal for a permanent ''umbrella'' forum for arms control issues, a State Department official said. Mr. Nitze, who was the negotiator in the suspended Geneva talks on medium-range missiles in Europe, is to help work out a negotiable set of proposals on banning space weapons, reducing strategic arms, and limiting medium-range missiles, all of which are to be discussed with Mr. Gromyko. Impasse in Interagency Group The United States has been trying to develop a unified negotiating position within a Senior Arms Control Group, an interagency committee headed by Robert C. McFarlane, the White House national security adviser.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1984 International The death toll from the gas leak at the Union Carbide insecticide plant in Bhopal, India, was said to have risen to at least 1,200 and possibly as high as 2,000. Medical authorities said a growing concern was the threat of epidemics and unanticipated health problems for the more than 50,000 people believed to have been stricken. (Page A1, Column 1.) Thousands of Indians continued to flood the hospitals of the anguished city of Bhopal two days after the gas leak from the insectide plant. Dozens of infants and children are lying next to each other, crying as they make an effort to breathe. Many victims just sit or lie on the ground. Their eyes are closed in pain, for the gas has caused a burning sensation in the eyes and distorted vision. Some are temporarily blind. (A1:2-4.)

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1984 International Hijackers killed two more passengers aboard a Kuwaiti jetliner at the Teheran airport, the official Iranian press agency reported. It said the victims included an American official who was forced out of the plane and shot six times. The State Department said two Americans, both officials of the Agency for International Development, had apparently been killed by the hijackers. (Page A1, Column 6.) The hijackers holding the Kuwaiti airliner at the Teheran airport are closely connected with the Iranian- backed Shiite terrorist group that is believed to have bombed the United States Embassy and the Marine barracks in Lebanon last year, according to American officials.

As William J. Schroeder, who received an artificial heart 10 days ago, showed continued improvement and began a new phase of exercise today, officials of the American Medical Association added to the heat that has developed around this operation and others. Two American Medical Association officials deplored the publicity for the artificial heart and the baboon heart transplant experiments. One of them, Dr. David I. Olch, a member of the group's Judicial Council, called the plans to implant six artificial hearts at Humana Heart Institute International here ''the wrong approach and the wrong setting.'' By wrong approach, he meant the wide publicity that is carrying news of this experiment daily from the hospital into the living room. And by wrong setting, he referred to the Humana hospital, which is a commercial enterprise.
