The elements of the story, first reported by CBS News the evening of June 30, were undeniably sensational. Federal law-enforcement officials, CBS News said, were investigating allegations that several unidentified Congressman had engaged in homosexual activity with teen-age Congressional pages. Two former pages, interviewed on camera in silhouette, detailed their accusations. Ten days later, one of the former pages, Leroy Williams, made his allegations before a Congressional subcommittee. But late last month, after Mr. Williams failed a polygraph, or lie-detector, test and law-enforcement officials were unable to corroborate any of his allegations, he recanted. Last week the Justice Department officially ended its inquiry, citing ''insufficient evidence.'' Even before the credibility of the allegations became a public issue, the question of how to treat the story was a subject of debate for news organizations that had been investigating longstanding rumors of homosexual activity on Capitol Hill. The broad issues included these: - How does a news organization balance the public's right to know with the need to protect innocent people from unverified allegations?

At airports in the Middle East, Morris Draper is hardly an inconspicuous figure. In a pin-stripe suit, towering over his colleagues, his white hair flowing in a wave, Mr. Draper steps quickly toward the bookstand and scoops up a half-dozen spy novels. ''He collects paperbacks at airports,'' says his wife, Roberta Hornig, a news editor with the National Broadcasting Company. ''He loves spy novels, John Le Carre and all the others; that's the way he unwinds.''

''The White House is playing politics with the salaries of Federal workers,'' the Senator charged. ''Let there be no confusion. There is one reason for this problem and that is the Administration's veto of an appropriation bill which reflected the kind of hard work and fiscal responsibility the American people expect and deserve from Congress.'' This attack on President Reagan's veto of the $14.1 billion supplemental appropriation bill for the current fiscal year was not made by a Democrat or a liberal, but by a moderate Republican, Mark O. Hatfield of Oregon, chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee. His statement was an expression of impotent rage and capped an 18-month struggle between the White House and Congress over who has the right to set spending priorities.

International Israel has begun to press Lebanon to move toward negotiating a formal peace treaty to help guarantee the security of its northern border. Otherwise, it is believed, Israel will insist that southern Lebanon be controlled by a pro-Israeli Christian militia, possibly supported by an Israeli military presence, at least in the form of periodic patrols. (Page A1, Column 6.) Philip C. Habib was honored with the Medal of Freedom. President Reagan presented the nation's highest civilian honor to his special Middle East envoy for ''skillful diplomacy'' in bringing about a cease-fire in Lebanon and ending the siege of Beirut.

Peru now faces a question vital to fragile democracies: how to combat a terrorist insurgency without violating the tenets of its own democracy, including the protection of human rights. The answer may well determine the future of the Government of President Fernando Belaunde Terry. Western diplomats and leading Peruvians are concerned that if the Government's police cannot end the small but growing insurgency by a guerrilla group known as Shining Path, the army might step in, as it did in a similar guerrilla crisis in 1968 when Mr. Belaunde was also President. A coup is not an immediate fear as the military is divided over whether it wants to return to the messy business of counterinsurgency. In addition, it is still demoralized after its 12 years of rule, which ended in popular discontent and Mr. Belaunde's re-election two years ago.

DIRECTOR OF MEXICO'S CENTRAL BANK

Long before Carlos Tello Macias was appointed director of the Bank of Mexico last week, he had already earned himself a place in Mexican history by becoming the first minister in memory to resign his job on a point of principle. Now, however, taking over management of the country's monetary affairs in the midst of its worst financial crisis in more than 40 years, it is Mr. Tello's commitment to principle that most concerns business executives and bankers here and abroad. Unlike most Mexican politicians, whose opinions adjust quickly to those of each President, the 43-year-old Mr. Tello has consistently defended his view that the ''neo-liberal'' economic policies of the past should be replaced by a ''nationalist and popular'' approach. Stated differently, he believes that the Government should play a more prominent role in the economy.

International Arab leaders neared agreement on a Middle East peace plan, according to delegates at an Arab League conference in Fez, Morocco. The 15 Arab leaders apparently hope that the plan will be acceptable to the West, but reports of its provisions indicate aspects that would be unacceptable to Israel and the United States. The draft was said to call for a homeland for the Palestinians with its capital in East Jerusalem. (Page A1, Column 6.) Washington's peace initiative in the Middle East was praised by B'nai B'rith, the American Jewish service organization. It said it took issue with some provisions, but that, over all, President Reagan's plan was ''worthy of consideration.'' (A1:3-4.)

Saying ''I'd do it again,'' a newspaper reporter was freed from jail today when his contempt sentence was commuted after he served eight days for refusing to testify at a murder trial. Paul W. Corsetti of The Boston Herald American walked out of the Middlesex County jail after the State Executive Council voted, 6 to 0, to approve Gov. Edward J. King's request to commute the 90-day sentence to time served. The 33-year-old reporter praised the Governor and the council as having ''great courage'' and said he was grateful. However, he said he had not changed his mind about keeping his promise to a news source.

William S. Paley, the founder of CBS Inc., announced yesterday that he would resign as chairman of the board of the giant communications conglomerate that he has led for more than half a century. The resignation will take effect April 20. Mr. Paley's move, which had been expected for several weeks, signaled the final transfer of power to his designated successor, Thomas H. Wyman, who has been president and chief executive officer of CBS since June 1980. ''It's the end of an era,'' said Anthony Hoffman, vice president of A.G. Becker, an investment firm. ''Tom Wyman will be free to run the company as he sees fit,'' said James Rosenfield, president of CBS-TV. ''That is what is needed at this time. Our whole industry is in an explosive transitional state. CBS needs a keen eye for the future and long-term planning.''
