More than $500 million in interest payments owed by Poland to Western banks, and an agreement to reschedule $2.4 billion in debt due this year, appear to have been put under a cloud by the crisis there, a United States official said. The Western banks are unlikely to proceed with the debt rescheduling if the interest payment, due today, is missed, the official added. (Page D1.)

After expressing great alarm last summer at the prospect of the Federal budget deficit rising above the Administration's $43.1 billion target, the business community has greeted the latest estimates of a staggering $100 billion deficit with surprising calm. The Reagan Administration's most recent, and still preliminary, estimates project a deficit of $109 billion for the 1982 fiscal year, which began on Oct. 1. That figure is 65 percent higher than the record $66 billion deficit under President Gerald R. Ford. Interviews with corporate executives and economists regarding the latest deficit forecasts reflect a widespread feeling that the estimates have been made excessively high in order to frighten the public into accepting further revenue cuts and tax increases.

In both Houses of Congress, Democrats searching for 1982 campaign issues have begun criticizing the 1981 leasing amendments to the tax code. Unless changed, these amendments will let corporations reduce their tax bills by billions of dollars a year. The provisions modified earlier restrictions on the sale of tax benefits -investment credits and depreciation deductions - through leasing. Instead of buying a machine, a company that owes no taxes arranges to lease the machine from another company, which buys it and uses the credit and depreciation to reduce its own tax bill. With competition keen for leasing business, the investor companies (or lessors) are splitting the tax benefits with the users (or lessees).

The defense did it again, and the Giants' playoff hopes are still alive. They beat the Cardinals, 20-10, today in a game in which their offense consisted mainly of Rob Carpenter's running. But the defense, which had pulled them through all season, never let the Cardinals off the hook. The defense gave the Giants a 7-3 lead in the first quarter, when Lawrence Taylor's jarring sack forced Neil Lomax to fumble. George Martin picked up the loose ball and ran 20 yards into the end zone.
