President Reagan's budget for the fiscal year 1983 was originally scheduled for publication in Tuesday newspapers, with copies distributed to reporters in advance to help them prepare their articles. But a White House spokesman released news organizations from the delay agreement this morning, saying that unauthorized disclosures and printing errors on Government documents had rendered the delay meaningless. Following a longstanding tradition, the White House had asked news organizations to ''embargo'' the budget figures - that is, to delay reporting them -until the President formally submitted them to Congress on Monday.

A NEW EDICT RESTRICTS TURKS IN CONTACTS WITH FOREIGNERS

Date: 07 February 1982

Special to the New York Times

Turkey's military authorities have barred Turkish institutions from any contact here with representatives of official or unofficial organizations abroad, without official permission. The Turkish General Staff headquarters published the new restrictions today in apparent response to increasing European attacks on Turkey's human rights record and particularly on the current trial of 52 left-wing trade union leaders in Istanbul. Last month, after the Council of Europe's Assembly condemned the suspension of basic democratic freedoms in this country, the head of state, Gen. Kenan Evren, declared that Turkey would tolerate no further ''interference in its internal affairs.''

JOHN REED A SOVIET SCREEN HERO, TOO

AS if the Kremlin had resolved to retrieve one of its heroes for its own, film makers are putting the finishing touches to a Soviet version of the tumultuous life of John Reed, the American journalist whose involvement in the Bolshevik revolution is depicted in Warren Beatty's ''Reds.'' Officials at Mosfilm Studios, where the Soviet-Italian-Mexican coproduction will be completed this year, said it was a coincidence that a Soviet remake of the Reed story was undertaken just as an American film maker made the first major Western effort to translate to the screen Reed's experiences in revolutionary Mexico and Russia. Coincidence or not, the three-part epic being made here under Sergei Bondarchuk, director of ''War and Peace'' and ''Fate of a Man,'' two of the Soviet Union's most celebrated postwar productions, will offer a clear contrast to the Beatty film. Among other things, it will give back to Reed some of the starchy rectitude that the Beatty production took away. Perhaps nothing less could be expected of a Soviet director's dealing with an American buried in the Kremlin wall.

The Reagan Administration budget for the fiscal year 1983 is based on a body of economic assumptions that are optimistic and fraught with uncertainity. If the assumptions go sour, as many of them did in last year's economic forecast, the budget, already burdened with a high deficit, could look much worse. All administrations face this problem. They have to make economic assumptions on which to base the budget and there is always the possibilty that the projections will be wrong.

Exactly a year ago today President Reagan said in a television address that the nation's trillion-dollar debt was of a magnitude ''literally beyond our comprehension.'' Yet the budget he released today would lead to more than $270 billion in new debt in the next three years a lone, and more than $500billion if he fails to get his spending cuts or tax revisions throughCongress. The fact th at Mr. Reagan could contemplate a possible 50 percent increase in t he national debt in a mere three years shows how far much his econ omic thinking has been transformed by events of the last12 months. More than anything else, the new, defiant Budget Message from the President was a call to ignore the customary fears about big deficits, at least some of which helped bring him into office in 1980, and to proceed undeterred with deep tax cuts and spending cuts.

In the month since it stirred a major controversy over tax exemptions for segregationist private schools, the Reagan Administration has become increasingly entangled in a legal and political web from which there seems to be no easy or ready escape. The issue burst onto the polit ical stage Jan. 8, when the Administratio n announced that it would grant tax exemptions to more than 100 segr egationist schools, on the ground that there was no basis in law for denying them. This set off such an uproar among civil rights groups as well as moderate Republicans that Mr. Reagan, taken by surprise, said a few days later he would support a new law denying the exemptions. But it is becoming apparent that Congress is not about to come to his rescue by passing the bill he proposed. And if Congress does not act, the Administration could be forced to carry out its original plan of granting the exemptions, which some politicians say would be handing the Democrats a major political victory. An alternative lies with the Federal courts, which could respond to the entreaties of Republican leaders in Congress to resolve the situation by just the kind of activist intervention in political matters that the Administration deplores.

When they wax rhetorical, members of the dominant Afrikaner group in South Africa still tend to sound biblical. So, in prescribing what the country must do to counter what they call a ''total onslaught'' against it by the Soviet Union and other purveyors of ''devilish ideologies,'' a judicial commission of inquiry declared last week that the time had come ''for us to gird our loins for the struggle now upon us.'' The commission's public report was followed almost immediately by the report of a second commission that had been reviewing the country's harsh security laws with an eye to streamlining them. Although the conclusions reached in the two reports have yet to be formally accepted by the Government, the two documents add up to a statement on what threatens South Africa and how the threat may be countered.

Follow-Up on the News; Poisoned Building

It was a simple enough fire at the outset: a smoky blaze Feb. 5, 1981, in a basement transformer of the 18-sto ry State Office Buildingin Binghamton, N.Y. The building's ventilatio n system sucked up the fumes, and before the fire was out, every off ice on every floor was sprinkled with deadly soot. Chemicals identified as cancer agents - polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's), tetrachlorodibenzofurans (TCDF's) and tetrachlorodibenzodioxins (TCDD's) - had been used as coolants in the transformer and had been released by the fire.
