President Reagan, saying he was only continuing th e policies of previous administrations, today defended the use of po lygraph tests for Government officials and restrictions on interviews to cut off the flow of news on sensitive subjects. Mr. Reagan said he approved these measures to combat what he called ''a new high here of the leaks'' of sensitive information on foreign policy and national security. ''What we are doing here is simply abiding by the existing law,'' he said at his news conference. ''It is against the law to - for those who are not authorized to declassify - to release classified information.''

An internationa l conference aimed at finding practical ways to strengthen journali sm and communications indeveloping countries began here today, with t he United States strongly opposed to a series of proposals tha t would increase government control of news. The conference, the second session of a Unesco-backed International Program for Development of Communications, is the result of an American effort to channel a protracted and often bitter debate over a ''new world information order'' toward specific projects that would help the free flow of news. The Reagan Administration is unwilling to provide any direct financing for a program controlled by third world governments and is instead proposing projects supported by the American private sector.

During the centennial fuss, we must brace ourselves for renewed debate on Franklin Delano Roosevelt's life and legend. Much of it will be rerun material, but on one score there should be little controversy: Of all the Presidents, it was F.D.R. who was the ''Great Communicator.'' Mr. Roosevelt's understanding of how to communicate with the public began a new age in the Government's relations with the news media. The 998 news conferences of hia Presidency -limited only by a nodirect-quotation ground rule - sometimes were masterly orchestrations of the press; even so, reporters gained considerable insight into the workings of Government. Although he could be magnificently evasive, F.D.R. endeared himself to reporters because he explained complex issues in uncomplicated terms.

The United States was criticized at a Unesco-sponso red conference here today for refusing to help finance an internatio nal program intended to improve journalism and communication s in third world countries. ''How can we explain the continuing indifference and reluctance of some countries to contribute their share to a program that they helped bring into existence?'' asked India's representative, Majarah Krishna Rasgotra. Delegates from other developing nations also tried to allay United States fears that projects financed by the so-called International Program for Development of Communications would serve to strengthen government control over the news. 'Principle Responsibility' ''We won't back any project that limits ideological freedom or restricts the role of the private sector,'' said Alejandro Alfonzo of Venezuela, ''but we feel the principal responsibility to develop communications belongs to the state.''

A law permitting reporters to withhold their sources, adopted by California voters in 1980, was declared unconstitutional today by a Superior Court judge on the ground that it created unsupportable conflict with the constitutional right to a fair trial. The issue concerns ''outtakes,'' or unused film, from an interview conducted for the CBS News program ''60 Minutes'' by Mike Wallace. Judge Stanley Golde of Alameda County directed an attorney for CBS, Edwin Heafey Jr. of Oakland, to bring the deleted material to court Jan. 25.

Governor Byrne of New Jersey yesterday pardoned The New York Times and one of its reporters, M. A. Farber, for criminal contempt in their refusal to surrender the reporter's notes in the widely publicized 1978 ''Dr. X'' murder trial. Mr. Farber spent 40 days in jail and the newspaper paid a $286,000 fine for refusing a judge's directive to disclose the sources of their articles about the defendant, Dr. Mario E. Jascalevich. The Bergen County surgeon was acquitted of charges he had murdered five hospital patients by injecting them with curare. In issuing the pardon, which had been sought by the newspaper and the reporter, Governor Byrne noted court decisions and changes in the New Jersey ''shield law'' that, he said, gave credence to their arguments. He also said: ''Mr. Farber and the Times Company were attempting to uphold a principle they believed in. They should not be burdened by a record of criminal contempt any longer.''

For months, President Reagan had been complaining about unauthorized ''leaks.'' But his abrupt decision last week to limit reporters' access to national security information came so fast that it was said to have created some tension around the role of William P. Clark, the new national security adviser. According to several officials, Mr. Clark insisted that Mr. Reagan's toughly worded directive on classified information, providing, among other things, that any official involved in national security policy obtain approval before talking to a reporter, be made public after it was signed late Tuesday afternoon. Officials in the White House press office argued that if this were done, the announcement would be too late for inclusion on television news shows and many newspapers. James A. Baker 3d, the White House chief of staff, reportedly sided with them.

The two students, Michael Giles and Gerald Clark, who are black, graduated a few months after the disputed photograph appeared in March 1980.
