The Vatican press office yesterday issued a strong condemnation of a new newspaper column based on the writings of Pope John Paul II. The column has been sold to over 200 newspapers worldwide by news syndicates owned by the publisher Rupert Murdoch. A statement issued by Msgr. Guilio Nicolini, deputy director of the press office of the Holy See, criticized the column because it used the Pope's name as a ''journalistic byline'' for ''commercial operations.''

The action was taken against Mr. Wilkinson shortly after the South African Deputy Foreign Minister accused some foreign journalists of ''organized lying'' about the current unrest in South Africa and warned that the Government might place restrictions on foreign correspondents.

A high-ranking State Department official told a closed-door meeting of a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee today that the Reagan Administration would go ahead with planned sales of advanced aircraft and other equipment to Jordan even if it meant provoking a major clash with Congress, participants in the session said. For three hours, Richard W. Murphy, Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern and South Asian affairs, sparred with members of the committee, which is already on record as opposing any new arms sales to Jordan until King Hussein formally agrees to peace talks with Israel. According to accounts of the meeting, which was closed to the press, Mr. Murphy said he could not report any significant progress on gaining King Hussein's agreement to direct talks.

In the past, Bishop Browning, who is 56 years old, has spoken out on moral, social, economic and political issues.

An accommodation made by ABC News to Attorney General Edwin Meese 3d several weeks ago in connection with his appearance on ''This Week with David Brinkley'' violated the network's news guidelines and has prompted an amendment to those guidelines, David Burke, vice president and assistant to the president of ABC News said yesterday. The violation occurred when Dorrance Smith, executive producer of the broadcast, gave Mr. Meese transcripts of two reports prepared by John Martin, an ABC News correspondent, the night before Mr. Meese appeared on the interview program. The two reports were used to introduce the topic of the program, which was an assessment of Mr. Meese's first six months in office. In those transcripts, Mr. Meese was able to read the comments of four of his strongest critics - Ira Glasser, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union; Ralph Neas, executive director of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, a coalitiion of major civil rights groups; Representative Don Edwards, Democrat of California, and Prof. Lawrence Tribe of Harvard Law School. Those comments, in turn, formed the basis for some of the questions asked on the program by Sam Donaldson, who was substituting for Mr. Brinkley, as well as Brit Hume and George Will.

The union representing the dwindling number of reporters and editors at United Press International has hired a prominent adviser to represent their interests in negotiations to sell the financially troubled news agency. The adviser, Brian M. Freeman, who is well-known for representing unions at troubled companies, said after the announcement today that he was ''optimistic that something will be worked out in a couple of months'' to place U.P.I. in the hands of executives who would get the cooperation of the employees and salvage its union contract. The news service filed for protection from creditors under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in April and asked employees to accept wage and benefit concessions beyond 25 percent cuts agreed to in 1984. The employees' union, the Newspaper Guild, has refused to make further concessions to the current management, and the company has said it will ask the Bankruptcy Court to void the union contract to make U.P.I. more attractive to prospective buyers.
