The decertification of the air traffic controllers' union last month was taken by many as a turning point in the labor dispute that might lead to some accommodation between the Government and the dismissed strikers. The theory was that the Reagan Administration, having been upheld on moral and legal grounds in seeking to bar the union because of its illegal strike, might be ready to combine pragmatism with compassion and rehire some of its former employees. By so doing, the reasoning went, the Government could reverse the surge in flight delays, end economic losses due to the walkout and avert the chance that an accident might occur because nonstriking controllers were overworked. Events have not turned out that way, despite an accelerating ''rehire the controllers'' campaign by labor and consumer groups and in the House of Representatives.

Without once firing, a Soviet submarine may have torpedoed the concept of a nuclear-free Nordic zone. The plan for such a neutral zone, orginally proposed some decades ago by Finland's President, Urho Kekkonen, has reappeared in various versions. Essentially, all of them provide for creation of a neutral area composed of the Nordic nations: Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. In exchange for banning nuclear weapons within their own borders, these countries would ask the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, to guarantee that nuclear weapons would never be used against them. The discovery last week that the Soviet submarine stranded in Swedish waters was apparently carrying nuclear weapons was seen as a serious blow to proponents of the Nordic zone. Soviet leaders have taken the idea over as their own, but as one Western diplomat put it the other day, ''In a single act, the Soviets showed the folly of seeking any guarantees from them on nuclear weapons.

In 1979 the General Motors Corporation developed a five-year spending plan to run through 1984. The plan, created under the direction of Thomas A. Murphy, then chairman of General Motors, was based on the assumption that motorists wanted fuel economy more than anything else. The company calculated that ''downsizing'' its cars would cost about $40 billion. To G.M.'s dismay, the motorists seem to have changed their mind. The company's fuel-efficient ''J'' cars, introduced last spring, have encountered sluggish acceptance while G.M.'s larger models have continued to sell. Now, although the company will not say so, it has pulled back from its investment plan to reassess where it is headed.

The designation of the smart, solid blocks of the Upper East Side between Fifth and Park Avenues as a historic district earlier this year gave the Landmarks Preservation Commission the right to pass on any new buildings or major architectural changes proposed for the area. At that point it seemed to most observers that the commission's role would be fairly clear-cut -it was assumed that it would keep big white-brick apartment towers out of the neighborhood, and offer a supportive nod to small-scale construction and brownstone renovations. But the first major problem to come before the commission since the landmark designation has turned out to be neither a typical highrise apartment box nor a small-scale project, and it is making a lot of people squirm. It is a plan for a slender, 245-foot-high apartment tower of limestone, with a tall clock on one side and a sculptured top of setbacks culminating in a pyramid. It is more like the towers that were built in New York in the 1920's than the sort of apartment-house construction we are accustomed to seeing today, and this fact has turned all of the normal landmarks-preservation arguments on their heads.

International Israeli military action in Lebanon is in prospect unless American diplomacy produces results, according to Defense Minister Ariel Sharon. He mentioned no deadline, but cited increasing dangers posed by Syrian missile sites in Lebanon and a heavy weapons buildup by the Palestine Liberation Organization. (Page A1, Column 1.) Britain's tactics for Mideast peace, which are strongly opposed by Washington, were described by London officials as ''the natural outgrowth of a basically different assessment of what will work best.'' The difference, they said, goes back to 1978, when Western European officials reacted with private skepticism to the Camp David accords because they believed the agreements failed to provide a framework for a resolution of the problem of the Palestinian Arabs.

International Guidelines for Egypt's future were given by President Hosni Mubarak in his first major address since taking office in early October. He called for economic improvement at home for all Egyptians, and he affirmed Egypt's commitment to a foreign policy of nonalignment, while supporting the Camp David peace process with Israel. (Page A1, Column 6.) The American aid program for Haiti will be reshaped, according to Administration aides and Haitian Cabinet ministers who met in Washington last week. The United States will also support Haiti's request for a World Bank development study that is intended to bring Haitian needs to the attention of donor nations and private investors. The actions are part of a larger Carribean initiative announced in July by the United States, Canada, Mexico and Venezuela. The cost of the American program was not announced. The United States provides Haiti with $26 million a year in food and development funds and $750,000 in military assistance. (A1:4-5.)

The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press is preparing for substantial battles against a variety of Reagan Administration proposals, including new restrictions on obtaining Government documents and on identifying foreign agents. But battles cost money, so the committee was pleased when Columbia Pictures offered it the proceeds from a benefit premiere next Sunday at Washington's Kennedy Center of a new movie about the press, ''Absence of Malice.'' According to Jack Landau, the executive director of the committee, the gala could raise nearly $50,000 for the group, which provides a wide range of legal defense, research and publication services on First Amendment and government secrecy issues. Mr. Landau reported brisk sales of tickets, particularly those that cost $100 each, which entitle holders to a champagne reception and a dinner with the stars of the film, Paul Newman and Sally Field. In the movie, Miss Field portrays a reporter who, among other things, is duped by a Government investigator because she does not try to verify what he tells her, betrays a source, invades privacy and has an affair with the subject of her articles. Given this, is the Reporters Committee, by sponsoring the gala, condoning those violations of important press standards?
