American and Soviet spokesmen accused each other today of minor violations of an agreement to withhold news of the meeting between President Reagan and Mikhail S. Gorbachev. But neither side disclosed anything substantive. One Russian charged that the announcement of a change in the Reagan Administration policy on nuclear testing, which was made Friday night by the White House spokesman Larry Speakes, pierced the lid on information.

The World The President will offer a two-stage plan to curb nuclear testing, the Administration announced. The plan does not seem to meet Mikhail S. Gorbachev's insistence on a total ban on testing, however. The Soviet Union has refrained from testing for more than a year. [ Page 1, Column 6. ] Two strong earthquakes rocked several buildings in downtown San Salvador. At least 30 people were killed, according to radio reports, and several structures were reduced to twisted steel. The intensity of the two tremors was reported to have varied from 4.5 on the Richter scale to 7.0. [ 1:1-2. ] Soviet emigration has emerged as a central topic at the Reagan-Gorbachev talks. President Reagan said Soviet human rights would receive as much priority as arms control when he meets Mr. Gorbachev this weekend. The Russians have seemed to encourage expectations of liberalization on the emigration issue. [ 1:4-6. ] Mikhail S. Gorbachev arrived in Iceland and expressed optimism that his talks with the President would lead to steps that resolve differences between the two superpowers on arms control. ''We are prepared to look for solutions of the burning problems which concern peoples all over the world,'' he said. [ 5:5-6. ] Soviet officials held an unusual news conference on domestic issues. The session was a reflection of a spirit of self-assurance and pride about a program of domestic changes begun by Mikhail S. Gorbachev, the Soviet leader. [ 6:1-2. ] A Soviet poet was freed from jail unexpectedly and returned home.

THE WORLD Mikhail S. Gorbachev declined to set a date for a summit meeting in the United States unless prospects for signing a major arms control pact were good. Mr. Gorbachev and President Reagan set up working groups on arms control and human rights and other issues to meet Mr. Gorbachev's concerns. [ Page 1, Cols. 4-6. ] Arms control experts have urged the United States to drop its insistence that Pershing 2 ballistic missiles be kept in West Germany. They say the deployment of cruise missiles would be sufficient as a symbol of American commitment to West Germany's defense. [ 8:4-6. ] Chancellor Helmut Kohl endorsed a radical reduction of American medium-range nuclear weapons stationed in West Germany and other NATO countries. The proposal does not link reduction of the missiles to similar cutbacks in Soviet short-range systems targeted on Europe. [ 8:1-4. ] Aftershocks rocked San Salvador yesterday as rescue workers tried to recover survivors and the bodies of the dead from the earthquake Friday night. Rescue officials estimated that the earthquake might have killed as many as 500 people and injured hundreds of others. [ 1:1-2. ] Iranian commandos destroyed an Iraqi oil refinery at a main northern oil center during a raid deep into Iraqi territory, the official Iranian press agency reported. The Iraqis, however, denied the report of an attack at the Kirkuk oil center. [ 3:4-6. ] Western military experts describe Iraq's defenses along its 733-mile war front with Iran as an impressive feat of military engineering.

Soviet officials took the unusual step today of holding a news conference on domestic issues, saying Moscow's foreign policy was inextricably linked to its internal affairs. The session, held on the eve of the weekend meeting between President Reagan and Mikhail S. Gorbachev, was a striking reflection of a new Soviet self-asurance and pride about a program of domestic changes begun by Mr. Gorbachev. The official theme of the briefing was billed by Soviet officials as ''The Soviet Union - New Realities.'' Although the briefing was unpolished and struck many of the reporters present as an odd subject for a summit meeting, it represented a significant acknowledgment by the Soviet Union that its domestic affairs were of legitimate interest to the outside world, and was a tacit invitation for discussion of such sensitive issues as the treatment of human rights cases.

If Javier Perez de Cuellar could live his life over again, he says he would become a concert pianist. ''I wanted to play piano, but in my country, that was only for girls,'' he said in a recent interview in his Sutton Place townhouse. ''I would adore to be a concertiste, even more than being Secretary General. Piano music - that is my real passion.''

Before he became the State Department spokesman nearly two years ago, Bernard Kalb had spent 38 years in the news business. He had a good reputation as a correspondent for The New York Times, CBS and NBC, working in in New York, Washington, Southeast Asia and many other places.

A man who had worked on guidance systems for the newest and deadliest American ballistic missiles was on television the other night saying the steering is so flawed that rockets aimed at Moscow might just as readily land on New York. An official spokesman for the missile then appeared and said that this was nonsense and that the man criticizing the missile was a sorehead issuing unfounded statements because of personal grievances. This brief contretemps, which was quickly swamped in the onrush of other news, illuminated three of the reasons life feels so eerie here in the American morning. The first is that ballistic missiles now have spokesmen to defend them against charges of incompetence.

Questions appear on page 13. 1. Nine weeks before the infant's birth, a team of California surgeons removed him as a 23-week-old fetus from his mother's womb, successfullly operated to correct a blocked urinary tract, and then returned the unborn baby to the uterus and sewed the womb back up. 2. Bernard Kalb resigned as the State Department spokesman to protest what he called ''the reported disinformation program'' conducted by the Reagan Administration against the Libyan leader Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi. In doing so, he joined what Mr. Acheson called the ''exclusive club'' of public officials who ''resigned in the cause of conscience.'' 3. That Columbus made his first landing in the New World not at the Bahamian island of San Salvador but at Samana Cay, a Bahamian island 65 miles away. 4. If approved, a refurbished Staten Island ferry will become a floating jail. 5. True. 6. In a new phase of Brown v. Board of Education, the case that 32 years ago ended legally sanctioned segregation of schools in the United States, lawyers in Topeka, Kan., will argue that black students in that city still have not gained full redress for segregation. 7. The Waterford Glass Group of Ireland and Wedgwood P.L.C., of Britain. 8. President Reagan made the quip to his wife, Nancy, after she fell off a platform after a performance at the White House by the pianist Vladimir Horowitz. 9.

Companies BankAmerica's chief executive, Samuel Armacost, will resign this weekend, the troubled bank holding company said. Industry sources said Mr. Armacost's departure was forced. During his 5 1/2 years at the helm, BankAmerica was surpassed in size by Citicorp and posted huge losses. Mr. Armacost's successor is expected to be A. W. Clausen, who had preceded him at the company before leaving for the World Bank. [ Page 1. ] Mr. Armacost's tenure began to unravel in the middle of last month, sources said. [ 39. ] Mr. Armacost was once seen as a bright young banker who would lead the industry into the new era of deregulation. [ 39. ] Mr. Clausen, 63, spent his entire career at the bank, including 11 years at the top. [ 41. ] Intel reported its largest quarterly loss ever and said it was withdrawing from the bubble memory business. Another big chip maker, Advanced Micro Devices, also had a loss that was considerably larger than last year's. Both companies took charges against earnings in the quarter as they tried to position themselves for the long-delayed revival in the semiconductor industry. [ 39. ]

There's an uneasy feeling in Washington these days. The Reagan Administration has been hurt by its misinformation campaign against Libya and its tricky handling of the Nicaraguan problem. It has denied everything but convinced nobody. The charge against the Administration in both cases is not that it was breaking the law but bending it, that it was misleading the Congress and the people - in short, that it was cheating, trying to achieve its objectives by stealth.
