The newspaper Le Monde said today that the Soviet Union had refused to accredit the paper's designated Moscow correspondent because he was too knowledgeable in Eastern European affairs. Jacques Amalric, the foreign editor, said in an article that the Soviet authorities, ''after more than six months of evasion, finally refused to accredit the journalist that the management of the newspaper had designated to succeed Thomas Ferenczi.''

The security police today searched the residence and office of Allister Sparks, a correspondent of The Washington Post and The London Observer. Mr. Sparks said later that they had told him they were looking for evidence that he had illegally quoted the wife of the imprisoned leader of the outlawed African National Congress. Winnie Mandela, whose husband, Nelson, is serving a life sentence in a prison near Cape Town, has been banished to a small farming community called Brandfort in the Orange Free State and placed under a banning order that makes it a crime for her to be quoted in a printed article or a public meeting. The restriction has never been violated by South African newspapers, but the authorities have tended to look the other way when foreign journalists reported Mrs. Mandela's remarks.

Windy City Convention? The site of the 1984 Democratic National convention, to be selected late in April, has become a factor in the Chicago mayoral election, to be held April 12. Although San Francisco is still regarded as the most likely convention site, party officials have encouraged Representative Harold Washington, the Democratic candidate for Mayor, to suggest to local business leaders that his election would enhance Chicago's chances of winning the convention. Mr. Washington is arguing, indisputably, that if his Republican opponent, Bernard E. Epton, should be elected, all possibility of the Democrats' taking their convention to the city would vanish. The party estimates that the candidates, delegates, press and hangers-on spend $40 to $50 million in a convention city these days.

After almost two years in power, French Socialism is looking for its second wind, and the place where it seems to think it can regroup is at the center rather than further on the left. Although not an irreparable defeat, the loss of 30 cities in the national municipal elections held over the last two weekends has been publicly described by Socialist leaders as a warning. Lionel Jospin, the party's general secretary, interpreted the results as requiring Government policy to become ''simpler, more concrete and more coherent.'' In the party's terms of reference, this vocabulary is the opposite of that employed to accompany Socialism's first year when its economic choice was expansion through Government spending and its domestic plans those of a vast new range of social benefits. Its diction then was made up of words like generosity, solidarity and change; now, Mr. Jospin talks about the necessity of moving rapidly to halt the country's growing debt, its trade deficit and its reheated inflation.

International The chief of the Soviet General Staff, Marshal Nikolai V. Ogarkov, suggested that if the American medium-range missiles planned for deployment in Europe were used against the Soviet Union, Moscow would retaliate directly against the United States. The marshal, in an interview, generally struck a moderate posture. He said that once nuclear war begins it cannot be limited and controlled. (Page A1, Column 5.) Five Salvadoran defendants were upheld by an Appellate Court judge. He ruled that the trial of five former National Guard members accused of the murder of four American churchwomen in 1980 could not proceed until a lower court provided more evidence in the case.

A BALLET MASTER IN CHIEF

Peter Martins first tried his hand at directing a ballet company in 1977, when he headed a little group of soloists from the New York City Ballet that gave occasional performances during a strike by the company's orchestra. ''A director,'' he said then, ''has to find a way to make all the dancers happy without compromising his own ideas.'' Now the 36-year-old Danish-born dancer and choreographer will help guide the entire New York City Ballet, which he joined in 1970. Since George Balanchine's hospitalization five months ago, Mr. Martins has been a key member of the small group that has been running the company. The company's new directorial restructuring, announced yesterday, gives Mr. Martins and Jerome Robbins the titles of ballet masters in chief, but it is Mr. Martins who will take charge of the company's day-to-day artistic decision making.

International Syria objects to Israeli goals in the negotiations with Lebanon, Syrian officials indicated. They suggested that the security arrangements and normal relations that Israel seeks with Lebanon would be met with Syrian rejection and a refusal to withdraw the 30,000 Syrian troops from Lebanese soil. (Page A1, Column 1.) Progress for breaking a deadlock in the talks on an Israeli troop withdrawal from Lebanon was indicated in Washington. Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir said that, as a result of hearing new American proposals, he was returning to Israel convinced ''we are nearer to a solution.'' (A1:2.)

A fictional film about nuclear terrorism scheduled to be shown on NBC next Sunday night has raised a protest from Reuven Frank, the president of NBC News, prompting the network to insert an unusual number of disclaimers to prevent viewers from being alarmed. The film, ''Special Bulletin,'' depicts in a highly realistic manner how a network news division might cover nuclear blackmail by terrorists, in this case, in the city of Charleston, S.C. It is scheduled for 9 P.M. Sunday. Although a representative of NBC News, Arthur Lord, director of special news operations, served as a consultant on the film, which was produced for NBC's entertainment division, it was not until this week that executives of NBC News saw the film and raised their objections.

Rototiller Dust-Up W ith the garden season coming up, officials at the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission had planned a press conference on Feb. 25 to announce the recall of 230,000 rototillers made by Roper and sold by Sears, Roebuck & Co. The commission acted after investigating cases involving seven leg or foot amputations and 31 other serious injuries caused by these machines. The commission chairman, Nancy Harvey Steorts, decided that there would be no news conference, just a news release. Her decision angered other commissioners, including Sam Zagoria, who argued that a news release was not adequate to call public attention to the hazard.

ARAFAT'S OPEN DOOR

In the six months since the Palestine Liberation Organization left the besieged city of Beirut, the need for unity has prevented the organization from taking bold initiatives in the peace process. Indeed, many news reports of the Palestine National Council meeting in Algiers last month gave the impression that the need for unity has largely paralyzed the organization. Yet, as an observer at the meeting, I found that in fact the P.L.O. would welcome a role in the peace process - and is more eager than ever before to find a political solution in the Middle East.
