I've given up asking, ''Did President Reagan call?'' For a long time, arriving at the office, that was the first thing I said. ''Did President Reagan call?'' ''No, President Reagan didn't call.'' ''Well, did anybody from the White House call?'' ''No, nobody from the White House called.''

American journalists, who have generally been given a long leash to do battlefield reporting, ran into many difficulties while trying to cover the invasion of Grenada Oct. 25, not the least of which was the Reagan Administrations's effort to restrict news coverage in the early days of the operation. But several days after the island was opened to reporters, a group of 10 foreign journalists had a smoother time of it than did most of their colleagues, thanks to the United States Government. Beginning Nov. 14, the 10 were given a special tour of the conquered island as part of a new aggressive effort by the United States Information Agency to counter what Charles Z. Wick, the agency's director, has labeled ''biased reporting'' about the United States. The foreign reporters, who are based in Washington primarily for Western European news organizations, had their $357 round-trip airfare between Washington and Grenada paid by the Federal Government and were given access to American and Grenadian officials who were not always available to other reporters on the scene.

The State Department said today that if Nicaragua was serious about asking Cuban military advisers to leave the country, it should step up negotiations with other Central American countries for a regional peace settlement. Alan Romberg, the department spokesman, said the Reagan Administration's view ''is that what they should do is move speedily'' with other Latin American nations to draft the specific provisions of a regional accord. Two rounds of talks are already scheduled in Panama for the first half of December.

Seven of Britain's nine major national newspapers were back on the streets tonight after a three-day printers' dispute. But the two others - The Sun and The Times - said they would not resume publication until the printers promised to work normally. The printers went out Friday in a dispute that began over the hiring of nonunion labor at a small plant in northwestern England five months ago and that has become a test of the Conservative Government's new laws to curb union power.

The challenge to Britain's labor laws by the printers union that shut down national newspapers over the weekend gained violent momentum early today as pickets and policemen clashed outside a nonunion printing plant here. The clashes occurred in this industrial town between Manchester and Liverpool, outside the plant in which Selim Shah's Messenger Group of newspapers has been printing six free- circulation weeklies throughout a 26- week dispute with the National Graphical Association, the printers union. As the presses rolled, the crowd swelled with new busloads of workers from as far away as London and Scotland. Many were from other unions and had come to see the dispute as a test of antiunion labor laws enacted by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Government after Mr. Selim used these laws to enjoin mass picketing and other forms of protest.

Britain announced today its first steps to aid in the restoration of civil government in Grenada following the United States- led invasion of the Caribbean island last month. Responding to questions in the House of Commons, Timothy Raison, the Minister for Overseas Development, disclosed that Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's Government had decided on an immediate grant of more than $1 million to Grenada. Although small, it is the first new aid allocation since Maurice Bishop came to power on the island by overthrowing Sir Eric M. Gairy, the previous Prime Minister, in 1979. Mr. Bishop was killed days before the Oct. 25 invasion. Further grants will be considered for next year ''in the light of longer-term needs,'' Mr. Raison said in a written reply to a question.

President Reagan has approved steps to increase American military cooperation with Israel, including resumption of delivery of American-made cluster-bomb artillery shells, Administration officials said today. The officials said Mr. Reagan also agreed to ease Israel's financial problems by not requiring it to repay any American military aid for the next fiscal year. However, the total amount of that aid would be reduced. Mr. Reagan made these decisions before starting two days of talks today with Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, Defense Minister Moshe Arens and other high-ranking Israelis. The Israelis are also seeing other senior American officials.
