International Polish union leaders were accused by the authorities of calling for the overthrow of the Government. The Warsaw radio transmitted a tape recording made at a closed meeting of union leaders last Thursday in which Lech Walesa, the union chairman, asked for a ''confrontation'' and another labor leader urged the overthrow of the regime. Mr. Walesa confirmed in an interview that he had made his remarks but said they had been taken out of context. (Page A1, Column 2.) Possible measures against Libya were discussed by President Reagan and his top advisers. Such measures might include an embargo against the import of Libyan oil and a ban on travel by Americans to Libya. (A1:1.)

The Market Place column in Business Day yesterday incorrectly reported the status of the five plants in the Washington Public Power System. None are producing power, but the first three are near completion while Plants 4 and 5 are less than 50 percent constructed.

AT a time when many higher education institutions around the country are scrambling for funds to maintain the status quo, Emory University has a highly unusual problem: how to spend the income on a $105 million bequest designed to transform the university in fundamental ways. It is, acknowledges James T. Laney, the 53-year old theologianeconomist who is president of Emory, a nice kind of problem to have. It is also one that is forcing Emory to do some hard thinking, not only about its own identity but about the nature of higher education today. ''The temptation is to try to duplicate Ivy League institutions across the board,'' Dr. Laney said. ''But the demands would be insatiable. You have to figure out what you can do exceedingly well that others are not doing.''

The Reagan Administration, in an effort to defuse a growing conflict over steel trade with the European Common Market, will seek a commitment from the Europeans to stop shipping subsidized, cut-rate steel to the United States but will not be asking for quantitative export restraints by the Europeans. These points were made in a statement issued today by the White House press office and by the Secretary of Commerce, Malcolm Baldrige, during an interview in advance of conversations that he and three other Cabinet officers will hold with officials of the European Commission, the Common Market's governing body, in Brussels on Friday. Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr., Secretary of Agriculture John R. Block and Bill Brock, the United States trade representative, will join Mr. Baldrige in the meetings, which are aimed at halting a deterioration in Atlantic trade relations. Filing of Complaints Delayed After a session with President Reagan last Friday American steel industry executives agreed to delay filing antidumping and antisubsidy complaints against the Europeans to await the outcome of the Brussels meeting.
