Congressional opposition to President Reagan's budget and the press's concentration on his misstatements of fact have forced the White House to adopt a bolder communications strategy. The news conference scheduled for 8 P.M. Wednesday, the President's first such appearance with reporters before a prime-time television audience, is the first step in the new strategy. Then, on Saturday, Mr. Reagan will make the first of a series of 10 live radio speeches that are to be similar in intent to President Roosevelt's ''fireside chats.'' In addition, according to White House aides, Mr. Reagan will probably make two prime-time television speeches in the near future. One of the prospective speeches would be an appeal for public support for his economic policies and his budget for the fiscal year 1983. In the other, Mr. Reagan would explain why he thinks his plan to increase military spending must be preserved despite the recession and the rising Federal deficit.

On both right and left, the Reagan Administration finds its strategic arms policies under challenge and feels compelled to mount a vigorous counterattack to try to hold together the consensus in favor of an arms buildup that was strong a year ago but has now begun to unravel. So worrisome has the political crossfire in Congress become to the White House that aides prompted President Reagan to make a personal commitment to peace and to arms negotiations with the Soviet Union the opening point of his news conference today. The objective, officials said, was to calm fears of nuclear war and to blunt the momentum of the movement for a nuclear freeze now. But inadvertently, Mr. Reagan may have added to public concern. In a stark warning, he became the first President

TRUMP SEEN AS TOP BIDDER FOR NEWS

Donald J. Trump, the real-estate entrepreneur, has emerged as the leading bidder for The Daily News, according to aides close to him and sources close to the owner of the paper. He has told business acquaintances that he expects to complete an agreement to buy the financially troubled newspaper this week. Sources at The News and at the Tribune Company of Chicago, its owner, said he appeared to have an edge over three remaining competitors, but cautioned that no final decision had been reached. No Cash Would Be Paid His offer is said to be conditioned on his reaching agreement with the paper's unions within 45 days on ways to cut costs. He is known to believe that the payroll - which, counting built-in overtime and part-time shifts along with the 3,800 full-time workers, equals about 5,000 jobs - must be cut by at least 1,500 positions to put the paper back in the black. The News said it lost $11 million last year on revenues of $350 million, and figures available to potential buyers suggested that losses could be as high as $50 million both this year and next.

The Transport Workers Union and the New York City Transit Authority, in a break with some 45 years of history, have overhauled their collective-bargaining relationship so dramatically that leaders on both sides say there will be no subway and bus strike when the present contract expires at midnight tonight. ''The union has made absolutely no plans for a strike,'' the T.W.U.'s longtime counsel, John O'Donnell, said yesterday. ''The only way there could be any sort of disruption of work would be on a wildcat basis, and there is no indication of that.'' The significance of Mr. O'Donnell's statement, delivered in the same Irish lilt that leaders of the Transport Workers Union have used to announce strikes and threats of strikes since the 1930's, will be lost on few New Yorkers.

Lawrence H. Cooke, the most powerful judge in New York State, will soon be a litigant in his own courtroom. The stage for that drama was set yesterday by the Appellate Division ruling in the case of Morgenthau v. Cooke. In all likelihood, Judge Cooke will be pleading his case to six men with whom he shares the most intimate of professional relationships - the cloistered life of the bench - yet whose authority he is said to have circumvented in devising the rotation system for State Supreme Court judges that brought him into court in the first place. Yesterday, the Appellate Division upheld the challenge by Robert M. Morgenthau, the Manhattan District Attorney, to Judge Cooke's system. Three hundred and fifty years ago Sir Edward Coke, the great English common-law jurist, declared that ''no man shall be a judge in his own case'' - a prohibition long since embedded in the laws of New York State. With that stricture in mind, Judge Cooke will not take the bench as his case is argued; similarly, he will leave the judges' conference room the following morning when the case is first discussed.

The broad vote in El Salvador's elections Sunday in spite of a guerrilla sabotage campaign has won the Reagan Administration temporary respite from sharp Congressional criticism and anxiety about American involvement in the Salvadoran civil war. But coupled with the Administration's elation over the size of the turnout is a rising concern that Washington could wind up saddled with a right-wing regime that Congress would balk at supporting or a broader coalition hobbled by internal divisions. ''It's a very delicate time,'' observed Representative Michael D. Barnes, Democrat of Maryland, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs subcommittee on Inter-American Affairs. ''The big turnout is certainly a very positive sign. The left was set back rather badly in an international public relations sense. But there was no definitive statement by the people about what way they want out of the conflict.''

New York State has 1,200 megawatts of electric power to sell at 1960's prices, and the decision of Westchester County voters on Tuesday to grab for part of that capacity may prompt a flood of other applicants, forcing 50 municipal electric systems now using the power to share it for the first time in decades. The final result may be a historic redistribution of power once considered too expensive to fight over, and now so cheap in New York State that states from Connecticut to Ohio are seeking a share. The Westchester vote has New York City and Buffalo, among others, wondering if they, too, should get in on the bargain. At the same time communities from Massena to Freeport, now served by municipal systems, worry that their rates may jump when their supply contracts for the cheap hydroelectric power expire between 1985 and 1990.

President Reagan said tonight that because the Soviet Union had ''a definite margin of superiority'' over the United States in nuclear arms, he could not agree to proposals for an early freeze in atomic weapons. But he said he remained committed to seeking a negotiated agreement with the Russians for reducing nuclear weapons ''dramatically,'' and he called on Moscow ''to join with us now to substantially reduce nuclear weapons and make an important breakthrough for lasting peace on earth.'' In a nationally televised news conference from the East Room of the White House, the first in his Administration to be held at night, Mr. Reagan sought in an opening statement to counter pressure from those seeking a nuclear freeze in Soviet and American arsenals. He said in answer to a question that such a move would leave the Russians with an advantage and take away any incentive for them to negotiate a meaningful reduction. ''If they're out ahead and we're behind and we're asking them to cut down and join us in getting down to a lower level, there isn't much of an incentive,'' he said.

It was election day in El Salvador, and at the headquarters of the Nationalist Republican Alliance, Roberto d'Aubuisson's aides were trying to decide where their candidate should vote. Suddenly word came that leftist guerrillas had attacked government troops guarding the polls in the slum of Cuscatancingo on the capital's outskirts. His intense brown eyes alive with sudden decisiveness, Mr. d'Aubuisson turned to his associates. ''Let's vote in Cuscatancingo,'' he said.
