Pope John Paul II's eight-day visit to Poland, painstakingly arranged by the Communist authorities in hopes of bolstering their virtually nonexistent popularity and ending their international isolation, has turned instead into a vast public outpouring of support for the outlawed Solidarity union. The result, in the view of many diplomats and others here, has been a stunning propaganda disaster for the Government that could conceivably have serious political repercussions for the Government of Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski. Day ofter day, hour after hour in the first days of his trip, the Pope has been using words and phrases that everyone understands indicate support of the banned union movement and opposition to military rule. At each stop vast crowds carrying illegal red and white Solidarity banners roar their approval and the scene is recorded by the nearly 1,500 journalists welcomed by the Government. The Pope was at it again today, devoting more than four pages of a five-page homily at a rainswept outdoor mass at the Jasna Gora monastary to the subject of ''freedom'' - and few Poles needed further explanation of what he was talking about.

How About 200 Candles? A ll three branches of government agree that the bicentennial of the adoption of the United States Constitution should be duly noted in 1987. But there are significant disagreements on how. Chief Justice Warren E. Burger is on the record in favor of a fitting commemoration. There are bicentennial bills in the House and Senate waiting for compromise. Meanwhile, the White House is quietly planning its version of what the celebration should be. So far, the House disagrees with the Senate on several specific aspects. The House wants a ceiling placed on the amount of individual contributions to the celebration; the Senate opposes a limit. The Senate wants to lease use of the bicentennial emblem, or logo, for commercial use. The House is against this. The House and Senate agree that a 16-member bicentennial commission should be created.

Attempts by Unesco members to limit press freedoms are ''misguided,'' the United Nations Secretary General, Javier Perez de Cuellar, told a group of United States journalists yesterday. The journalists, members of the World Press Freedom Committee, met with Mr. Perez de Cuellar to discuss actions, including steps by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, that they see as censoring reporters in some countries. Spokesmen for the group and the Secretary General said he reaffirmed support for press freedoms and said the Unesco debate on how the press should function was ''wrongly addressed.''

STAY HOME, RISING STAR

It appears that I may soon be the only columnist in North America who hasn't endorsed Mario Cuomo for national office, so I decided I'd better get into print in a hurry to explain my holdout status. First of all, for those who have been out of the country lately and may have missed it, I perhaps should bring you up to date on the Cuomo boomlet itself. Almost as if by prearranged signal - the Reagan White House may regard it as part of a Soviet disinformation campaign - three major adulatory articles about Governor Cuomo suddenly appeared in the national press on three successive days at the end of May. First came The Los Angeles Times piece - whose headline was ''Cuomo: The Democrats' Prince Charming?'' -which said that given the present uncharismatic field of Presidential candidates, Mr. Cuomo may be the ''someone who can take Kennedy's place and sweep the party off its feet.''

To the Editor: In her June 7 news article on the decision in the Galloway suit against CBS, Sally Bedell Smith stated that I had contributed $5,000 to Dr. Galloway. It should be made clear that the contribution was from Accuracy in Media (AIM) and not from me personally.

Governor Cuomo and legislative leaders have agreed that there should be an improvement in pensions for some 300,000 state and local government employees this year, but they are still haggling over the price. In a legislative session that, with a few exceptions, had been harmonious, this haggling has led to some fairly sharp exchanges. Union lobbyists have accused the Governor of mismanaging the issue, and Republicans in the Senate have complained that Democrats in the Assembly have violated a 50-year tradition of legislative courtesy. Both houses of the Legislature voted overwhelmingly last week for pension improvements, over the objections of Mayor Koch and segments of the business community, who oppose any change in the pension system. But in a typical Albany maneuver, the houses voted on somewhat different measures, leaving the issue unresolved and the participants uncertain on where things will go now.

One morning last week, negotiators were meeting privately in some Capitol Hill office, trying to hammer out a Federal budget for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1. Representative Delbert L. Latta, Republican of Ohio and co-author of the last two budgets, was quietly reading a newspaper just off the House floor. He had no direct role in the talks. That vignette sums up some of the major changes that have taken place in the budget-writing process this year. So far, the negotiators have failed to agree on a budget in part because they are still trying to adjust to the new political environment created by last November's elections, and to calculate the potential effect of any budget compromise that environment is likely to produce. For the first two years of the Reagan Presidency, Republicans in both Houses generally controlled the budget and passed major elements of Mr. Reagan's economic program. But the slumping economy and the elections of 1982 returned effective control of the House to the Democrats. And last week it was those Democrats, not Mr. Latta, who met with Senate Republicans in those private budget-writing sessions.

When the board of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People stripped its chairman of her powers recently in response to a conflict between her and the executive director, Benjamin L. Hooks, Mr. Hooks said that the board had ''seen fit to put the N.A.A.C.P. back on the track and back into the business of civil rights full time.'' But some association members and civil rights activists question whether the track the N.A.A.C.P. is returning to is the right one. They view current tactics of the association and other traditional civil rights groups as repeatedly failing to respond effectively to the broad changes in national policy that represent their most difficult challenge in recent years. These critics conclude that the organization will have to be in the ''business of civil rights'' round the clock if it is to begin to repair the damage the dispute has caused.

International The Polish Government warned the Roman Catholic Church that continued opposition demonstrations during the visit of Pope John Paul II would harm its relations with the church and delay the lifting of martial law. The Pope, meanwhile, celebrated an outdoor mass in Czestochowa, the site of a religious shrine, attended by about one million people, including cheering supporters of the outlawed Solidarity union movement. (Page A1, Col. 6.) United States troops will be sent to Central America, Walter F. Mondale said in an attack on the Reagan Administration's Central American policy. He said it was ''inevitable'' that troops would be sent there because the Reagan policy was ''failing.'' In a television interview, the former Vice President, who is now a Democratic Presidential candidate, accused the Administration of ''widening,'' ''Americanizing'' and ''militarizing'' the war in El Salvador.
