United Press International, the nation's second largest news agency, today announced a $20 million program to enlarge its news gathering efforts and to improve its communications systems. Spokesmen for the financially troubled agency also said it had signed $1.5 million in new contracts with newspapers, added $800,000 in broadcasting business and reduced the rate at which it had been losing business. U.P.I. and its rival, The Associated Press, are the primary source of articles and pictures about domestic and foreign events for most American newspapers and broadcasting organizations. Many news organizations have been worried about the possible closing of United Press International, because they think the competition improves news coverage and holds down prices.

''Hello, hello,'' the voice says, an urgent note detectable over the static that is a regular accompaniment of telephone calls in Moscow. Establishing that he has reached a Western correspondent, the caller surges on. ''I like to meet you, please,'' he says. ''We must talk.''

A deteriorating world economy, leading to stringent government regulations, has added to the problems confronting newspapers in the Western Hemisphere, according to a report on freedom of the press issued this week by the Inter American Press Association. According to the report, presented here this week to the annual general assembly of the association, journalists throughout the hemisphere also face increasing political pressures, judicial challenges and a growing trend toward government licensing of reporters. The association represents more than 300 publishers and editors from North, South and Central America and the Caribbean. Violence against journalists is also increasing, according to the report, which singled out Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador as three countries in which killings and disappearances of reporters continued to increase. The report said that foreign correspondents worked in a ''hostile'' environment in El Salvador, and that in Guatemala, journalism was a ''hazardous'' profession.

Before Britain's political parties began holding their annual conferences, Sir Harold Wilson, the former Prime Minister, delivered a harsh judgment about the Labor Party. ''Eight years ago,'' he said, ''after four victories in five general elections, I told the conference that Labor had become the natural party of government. Today we hardly present the image of the natural party of opposition.'' This year's Labor Party meeting at Blackpool appears to have improved things a bit. It seemed to many there to represent the perfect example of an old political maxim that holds, in effect, that nothing so wonderfully concentrates the minds of politicians as an election. In this case, those whose minds were concentrated by the prospect of electoral combat next year were the leaders of the big trade unions, and they imposed on the party a slightly bogus unity.

International Six Israeli soldiers were killed and 22 others wounded in an ambush six miles east of Lebanon's capital on the Beirut-Damascus highway. The attackers were not identified. Military analysts said that the ambush, the second in three days on Israeli troops in the area, could provoke retaliatory raids by Israeli artillery on Syrian and Palestinian positions across the cease-fire line. (Page A1, Column 6.) The foreign ministers of NATO agreed to set in motion a series of studies on how Western security interests are affected by energy policies and the extension of credits to the Soviet bloc nations. The ministers' discussion was seen as a step toward easing the conflict among NATO partners over financial dealings with the Soviet Union and its allies. (A1:5.)

Fearful that the spread of portable stereo headphone sets among strollers, joggers, bicyclists and motorists would increase traffic accidents, the Woodbridge Township Council in New Jersey voted an ordinance in July that it described as the first such in the country: it banned the wearing of headphones in the streets. Anyone could wear headphones on the sidewalks, but not in the streets.

Soft drinks for humans are big business, but soft drinks for dogs? Carol Graham, a former advertising executive, reported last March that her idea was catching on slowly. In four months, she said, Rosebrand Products Inc., a company that she had formed on Madison Avenue, had sold some 40,000 cases of Juicee Treat, a bottled drink for dogs.
