The strike against The New York Amsterdam News, which began Feb. 1, comes against a setting of internal disputes among the owners of the black weekly and persistent financial problems that threaten its survival, according to interviews with current and former employees.

Tatum, the chairman of the board.

The Nation magazine violated Federal copyright laws by printing un-@authorized excerpts from the memoirs of President Gerald R. Ford before they were officially published, a Federal judge ruled yesterday. In a case that pitted the 117-year old magazine against two other venerable publishers, Harper & Row and Reader's Digest, Judge Richard Owen of Federal District Court in Manhattan ruled that The Nation had printed ''what was essentially the heart'' of the Ford book, ''A Time to Heal.'' The resulting article, he said, was not ''fair use'' under Federal copyright laws, nor was it protected by the First Amendment. He ordered The Nation to pay a total of $12,500 to Harper & Row and Reader's Digest - the sum they lost when, following the article in The Nation, Time magazine scrapped plans to print excerpts from the Ford book.

Tales of paper shredders, charges of mismanagement and corruption, refusal by a President to turn over certain documents. These and other elements give the current dispute over the Environmental Protection Agency a familiar ring to followers of scandals in Washington. But the ingredients of the controversy over the environmental agency are as bewildering as they are familiar. Even those involved in the matter acknowledge that many of the charges are based on supposition. The conflict had reached a boiling point when the Administration, according to sources involved in the dispute, relented today and agreed to provide documents that it had withheld from Congressional investigators. Much about what has occurred in the agency in the last two years remains the subject of angry charges and countercharges. To clear up the confusion, no fewer than six Congressional committees have started investigations of the activities of the environmental agency.

Congress can cut military spending, as a chorus of voices is asking, but it has few tools to reduce the constantly growing costs of buying and operating a military force and that may be the only way to achieve real control of the Defense Department budget. This is only one of several gloomy assessments that analysts in and out of Congress are making as initial hearings on the military budget begin in Senate and House committees. Complex, seemingly paradoxical, problems in reducing the military problems in reducing the military budget arise most acutely in the category of buying weapons and equipment. of President Reagan's military budget request for the fiscal year 1984, the largest single share of military spending. Long-range plans will raise that share to 39 percent by 1988. It has become customary to note that, whatever the members of Congress say about the Defense Department's budget total, they seldom support cancellations or major reductions in particular programs that create jobs and income in their home areas.

Since President Reagan announced his Middle East peace plan in September, Administration officials have been waiting for a Palestinian response. After three days of discussions here among Palestine Liberation Organization leaders and the 350 members of the Palestine National Council, it is apparent that there will not be a clear-cut answer - neither a total rejection nor an endorsement for King Hussein and West Bank Palestinians to negotiate on the P.L.O.'s behalf. This fact, coupled with the already firm Israeli veto of the Reagan intitiative and the reluctance of King Hussein or West Bank Palestinians to negotiate without P.L.O. approval, could mean the end of the President's peace plan. ''The council is not going to give an unequivocal yes or no,'' said Nabil Shaath, a member of the P.L.O.'s executive committee and a senior political adviser to Yasir Arafat, the organization's chairman. ''The council will deliver a yellow light, and the only thing left to be decided is whether that yellow light will be tinged with red or tinged with green.''
