The White House today asserted that President Reagan's plan to modify the Federal income tax system had gathered public support despite a ''steady drumbeat of skepticism'' from reporters from national news organizations. In a combative mood, Larry Speakes, the White House spokesman, suggested that what he saw as skepticism was responsibile for a lack of national television coverage of the trips outside of Washington Mr. Reagan has been making recently to promote the plan, including one on Tuesday to Knoxville and Athens, Tenn. Mr. Reagan unveiled the tax plan in a nationally televised speech on May 28 and almost immediately went on the road to promote it, journeying to Williamsburg, Va., Oshkosh, Wis., and Malvern, Pa. Since then he has made periodic one-day trips to push the measure, a strategy that has been stepped up in recent weeks under a so-called fall offensive to gain Congressional approval.

United States officials have now identified the three men suspected of having killed a young Navy diver aboard a hijacked Trans World Airlines plane in Beirut last June, but they say they are reluctant to take steps to bring them to trial. The three are wanted not only for the hijacking, but for the killing of the Navy man, Robert Dean Stethem, who was a passenger on the flight. Thirty-nine Americans were held hostage for 17 days in the incident. Among the reasons the United States has been constrained from trying to gain custody of the suspects, the officials said, is the fear that such an attempt might complicate efforts to obtain the release of six Americans still in Lebanon.

South Africa has thrown the United States into a state of national emergency. No, this is not a new alarm; no invasion is threatened and no hostages have been seized. President Reagan has declared the ''emergency'' simply to forestall Congressional sanctions against Pretoria and impose his own instead. The merits of that policy aside, the law allows him to act unilaterally only by perceiving a sudden danger: ''I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, find that the policies and actions of the Government of South Africa constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the foreign policy and economy of the United States and hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat.''

Navy Secretary John F. Lehman Jr. acknowledged today that Navy internal security had grown lax, but he said Congress and journalists were to blame because they diverted Navy investigators' attention to minor fraud cases and demanded that the Navy focus on improving combat readiness. In an interview, Mr. Lehman said the reason the Naval Investigative Service had failed to uncover some recent security cases was that Navy investigators were busy responding to what he called public hysteria over reports of high-priced airplane toilet seats and ashtrays under purchasing contracts. The Secretary also outlined measures the Navy had taken to tighten protection of its secrets and weapons. He said that some of them, especially those involving the Navy's supply system, would make troops wait longer for urgently needed parts and supplies.

The military health authorities are studying how to prevent the spread of acquired immune deficiency syndrome, or AIDS, among the more than 2.1 million men and women in the armed forces, Pentagon sources said today. ''The Armed Forces Epidemiological Board has made recommendations,'' one source said, ''and a decision is expected by mid-October.'' The recommendations, made after meetings earlier this month by the board, made up of civilian scientists, were forwarded to Dr. William Mayer, Assistant Secretary of Defense for health affairs.

The newspaper Le Monde, which has published a number of exclusive reports on the Greenpeace affair in recent days, ran a brief article on Tuesday to disclose who its principal source was not: Pierre Joxe, the Minister of the Interior. The article, under the headline ''Gorge Profonde,'' French for ''Deep Throat,'' said that the mythology of journalism requires knowing powerful sources who ''leak'' information for their own advantage - but that smart reporters know they must have many sources to pull together a factual report. Many people think Mr. Joxe was its ''Deep Throat,'' Le Monde said, but he was not. The article struck many readers as disingenuous. No one had said Mr. Joxe was personally meeting with journalists. There were, however, many reports of people close to Mr. Joxe making information available to interested reporters.

The Pentagon today disputed the warning of a new Congressional study that President Reagan's program to develop an antimissile defense system might increase the risk of nuclear war. ''We would not deploy'' such defenses, the Pentagon said, unless it was proved that they would contribute to military stability by foiling the advantages of a sneak attack and making defense cheaper than offense. The Pentagon also strongly disputed the Congressional report's conclusion that the Administration seemed to have more limited goals in mind for its system, such as defending missile silos against sneak attack. Pentagon Outlines Goal While ''a future President'' might chose such a limited use for the defense program, the Pentagon said, ''The goal of our research, however, is not, and cannot be, simply to protect our retaliatory forces from attack.''

International A 4 1/2-hour American-Soviet talk apparently failed to narrow the gap between the two countries on arms control issues. After the meeting with Foreign Minister Eduard A. Shevardnadze, Secretary of State George P. Shultz said that despite speculation that a new Soviet plan might be unveiled yesterday ''there were no particular new proposals put on the table.''[Page A1, Column 6] The Pentagon disputed a warning by a new Congressional study that the program to develop an antimissile defense system might increase the risk of nuclear war.[A1:6] Latin America's leading debtor nations, worried by the political perils of their continuing financial crisis, are beginning to balk at carrying out austerity programs urged by the International Monetary Fund.[A1:4-5] A South African judge ordered the police in Port Elizabeth to refrain from assaulting detainees held under the country's state-of-emergency decree. The decision represented the first judicial acknowledgement of police brutality and a victory for a 25-year-old surgeon, Wendy Orr, who had campaigned against what she called systematic assaults on prisoners by the police.[A1:3] Rescue workers are still finding a trickle of survivors in the mountains of snapped steel girders, concrete slabs, crushed brick and rubble that dot Mexico City nearly one week after two major earthquakes.
