Concern is growing at the highest levels of the Reagan Administration that developments in Syria and Israel are producing trends that could set back any chances for a peaceful settlement in Lebanon and even touch off another conflict in the Middle East. The latest such sign was the disclosure Thursday that the Soviet Union was preparing to send Syria an advanced mobile missile, the SS-21, which could hit Israeli population centers. This was regarded yesterday in Washington as only the latest step by Syria to build up its armed forces so they could not only remain dominant in Lebanon but also successfully challenge Israel on the battlefield. Syria's overall goal is to end Israel's occupation of both the Golan Heights, which it lost to the Israelis in the 1967 war, and the West Bank, which Israel captured from Jordan. An Assumption Crumbles More than 7,000 Soviet soldiers have been sent to Syria this year, and the Russians have supplied Syria with $2.5 billion in military equipment, Administration officials said. This equipment, including advanced MIG-23 and MIG-25 fighter planes, up-to-date M-72 tanks and SA-5 antiaircraft missiles never before deployed outside the Soviet Union, goes well beyond what Syria possessed before suffering heavy losses to Israel in Lebanon in 1982. The SS-21 missile, an improved version of the less accurate Frog missile, has also never been assigned outside of Europe.

DAILY NEWS SHOWS SIGNS OF A RETURN TO PROSPERITY

The Daily News says it has begun to recover from the problems that brought it to the verge of collapse a year ago. Outside analysts agree that the paper is showing progress, but not all are as enthusiastic as James G. Wieghart, who said the paper had undergone ''one of the greatest turnarounds in American journalism.'' In two years of turmoil, The News, a tabloid that is the nation's largest-selling general-interest daily newspaper, endured the closing of its afternoon edition, widespread cuts in its staff and a threat to sell it or close it outright. Now it is beginning to rebuild. It has hired a half-dozen new reporters and editors in recent weeks. It has moved some of its printing operations from its crowded and costly midtown location to more modern and efficient sites in Brooklyn, Nassau County and Kearny, N.J. And it has reinstituted some of its aggressive pricing policies, most recently by raising the price of its Sunday newspaper to $1.

''Lotus seeds that lay dormant in an Asian lake bed for 400 years or more have been found alive and capable of growing into new plants,'' the news account said in October 1982. It was based on a report in a scientific journal by Dr. David A. Priestly, a biochemist at the Boyce Thompson Institute at Cornell University, and Dr. Maarten A. Posthumus, a researcher in the Netherlands.

Under an agreement with private prospectors, the city inherited seven- eighths of the rights to a natural-gas well, Attica I, drilled on municipal property.

In politics, as in sports and gambling, it is sometimes as important to be lucky as to be good. And Senator John Glenn's remarkable run of political luck continued Thursday night when the seven Democratic Presidential candidates made their first joint appearance. At the issues forum conducted by the New York Democratic State Committee, Mr. Glenn seemed to wander when he was asked complicated questions on immigration and economic policy. But then James David Barber, author and political scientist, challenged the Senator's political credentials by likening his space flight in 1962, when he became the first American in orbit, to such publicity stunts as Evel Knievel's attempt in 1974 to vault the Snake River canyon on a rocket-propelled motorcycle.

LAWMAKERS DECRY DRUG-PROJECT CUTS

FEDERAL budget cuts under the Reagan Administration have stunted New Jersey's war on drugs, and unless funds are restored to earlier levels, state officials say, the battle will be lost. Since 1980, funds for the Division of Alcohol, Narcotic and Drug Abuse, an arm of New Jersey Department of Health, have dropped 25 percent, slightly less than the national decline of 30 percent. As a result of the cut in financing, there has been a sharp decrease in the number of narcotics addicts undergoing treatment and a sharp rise in the number of drug-related crimes, according to Richard J. Russo, the assistant commissioner in charge of the division.

Just after the Senate, by a voice vote, confirmed Francis M. Mullen Jr. as the head of the Drug Enforcement Administration today, the telephones started ringing in the modern, 12-story office building that is the agency's headquarters. The callers were drug- enforcement agents across the country who wanted to have their congratulations passed on to Bud Mullen, as he is known among the Federal law-enforcement authorities. Mr. Mullen's confirmation, which had been held up in the Senate for 19 months, was seen by Federal law-enforcement officials as a symbol of the nation's dedication to combating drug traffic and abuse.

International The barring of Soviet-made goods from import into the United States, about three dozen products in all, has been recommended by the Commissioner of Customs, who says he believes they were made with the help of forced labor. (Page 1, Column 4.) Parts of Punjab were patrolled by the police and paramilitary forces with orders to shoot lawbreakers on sight and empowered to raid the sanctuaries of Sikh terrorists at will.

ONE WAY TO MAKE HOUSING AFFORDABLE

MOBILE HOMES are making their appearance in the far suburban reaches of Manalapan, in Monmouth County, N.J. But they are not in a mobile- home ''park,'' they are not easily mobile and there is a question whether they should be called mobile homes. The more accurate term nowadays is ''manufactured housing,'' a term historically applicable to the mobile-home product, but more justified when it is built to a standard that qualifies for 30-year financing and is sold in a conventional subdivision with the land on which it stands. That is what is happening in Manalapan Township. Daniel Pincus, whose earlier projects were conventional ''stick-built'' homes in central New Jersey, is offering houses that are manufactured in Pennsylvania and trucked in two pieces to the site. They all have three bedrooms, two baths and backyards of about 40 by 45 feet.
