In a town of people who are compulsive about knowing the news, the demise of The Washington Star last month left addicts gasping. Now, others are moving in to meet their need. The New York Times, which sells 25,000 copies in Washington on weekdays and more on Sundays, started publishing an added daily page of Washington news yesterday.

A Republican Congressman, running contrary to Reagan Administration policy, intends to introduce on Thursday a measure that would cut off United States funds to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization if the organization takes steps to restrict the world's press. Representative Robin L. Beard Jr. of Tennessee plans to offer an amendment to a bill authorizing funds for the State Department that would mandate a yearly accounting of actions by Unesco affecting international communications.

A movement for freedom of the press has been started here to honor a woman who resigned her editorial job two months ago because of Government pressure. About 100 leading citizens, including figures in the opposition, attended a ceremony today to open the campaign, called ''Concerned Filipinos for Press Freedom,'' which is the first serious effort to revive the free press since its curtailment in 1972. At the ceremony, an award of merit was granted to Letty Jimenez-Magsanoc, a University of Missouri journalism graduate who was editor of the Manila weekly, Panorama, until she was forced out last July.

The encyclical letter that Pope John Paul II issued yesterday on the subject of work and human dignity is the Pope's third major statement relating Roman Catholic doctrine to modern problems. Like the earlier two encyclicals - one on the ''moral disorder'' of the arms race and another on the dangers of materialism - ''Laborem Exercens'' (''On Human Work'') is a nuanced document that reveals both the Pope's scholarly background and his pastoral concern for the way the modern world affects the life of the Christian. The Polish-born Pope's diplomatic tact is also evident in the balanced critique of both capitalism and Marxism. By stressing the theological aspect of work as humanity's ''specific dignity,'' he gives a spiritual dimension to labor at a time when economic and technological developments tend to downgrade the worker, making him merely a unit of production or operator of machinery.

At the White House this morning, a group of Southern Democrats told President Reagan that they would go along with his plans for a modest slowdown in military spending, leaving domestic programs to bear the brunt of the new budget cuts to be proposed by the Administration. But on Capitol Hill, the House Appropriations Committee rejected the notion of new cuts in any area as it approved a bill to finance Government activities until Nov. 1. These conflicting signals illustrate the knotty problem facing Mr. Reagan and his Congressional allies as they prepare for the next round of the battle of the budget. The White House wants to cut about $15 billion, on top of the $35 billion already trimmed out of the budget for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1. And after the President's masterly political performances last spring and summer, Capitol Hill oddsmakers still predict a Reagan victory.

Judicial intervention in New York City primary elections is more of a tradition than a rarity. The Democratic and Republican regular party organizations often use the state courts to, in effect, call off local district primaries by eliminating the opposition. What makes last week's decision postponing the primary unusual is th at it was made by a Federal court and that it represented a turn of the legal tables. ''The outs'' - minorities, insurgents an d civic groups - successfully used the Federal court against the p olitical establishment - the city's Board of Elections, the Corporati on Counsel, the City Council and, ultimately, the two major politic al parties.

For a time, it seeme d that Social Security legislation had become the political equivale nt of the weather: everyone in Washington was talking about it, but no one seemed bold enough to do something about it by stepping f orward and exercising leadership. The House Democratic leadership has reportedly signaled a slowdown on a bill that a subcommittee of the House Ways and Means Committee has been drafting intermittently since last spring, eager to have the Republicans carry the burden of changes in the retirement law. The White House, stung by widespread criticism of the Social Security program that President Reagan proposed last May, has refused to redefine its position while offering to negotiate over a wide range of issues. So it came as something of a surprise today when Senator Bob Dole, Republican of Kansas, announced that the Senate Finance Committee would begin drafting a Social Security bill next week, basing its work on a series of proposals he would make as chairman of the committee.
