The most recent assignment for Scott Simon, a correspondent for National Public Radio, has been the melancholy one of reporting on the finanical crisis at National Public Radio. By all accounts, his reports have been praised by his fellow reporters but criticized by both the former and present leaders of the network. ''It's been as hard as covering the war in Salvador, because virtually everyone you speak with thinks he knows the answers,'' said Mr. Simon, who has covered the war in El Salvador in the past year. But Mr. Simon persevered in the face of criticism and won renewed praise for himself and NPR in Washington, where the financial crisis and Mr. Simon's reports have been closely followed and widely discussed for their remarkable frankness and criticism of NPR's leadership.

The Defense Department's chief spokesman, Henry E. Catto Jr., said in response to questions by reporters today that ''It was perhaps an error on my part'' to have recommended to Defense Seccretary Caspar W. Weinberger that the Pentago's senior officials no longer meet for breakfasts with the press. He said he might reconsider his suggestion. At a news briefing, Mr. Catto said the officers would no longer meet for such breakfasts because several had said things ''they hadn't perhaps thought out.''

Dan Rather testified today that when he went to a California medical clinic three years ago with cameras rolling to investigate insurance fraud for ''60 Minutes,'' there wasn't a doubt in his mind it was Dr. Carl A. Galloway's office and ''phony from one end to the other.'' Dr. Galloway has filed a $30 million slander suit against Mr. Rather, the former correspondent for ''60 Minutes,'' CBS, and two program executives over a 1979 segment of the show. Entitled ''It's No Accident,'' the segment in question on CBS's most popular news program was broadcast on Dec. 9, 1979, and dealt with insurance fraud whereby doctors, lawyers, and ''cappers'' (gobetweens) allegedly bilked insurance companies by submitting fraudulent back-dated auto-accident claims.

Vladimir Danchev, an English-language newscaster for the Moscow radio who in two days of broadcasts described Soviet troops in Afghanistan as ''invaders,'' has not been heard from since Tuesday, when he told his housekeeper he was ''going for a walk,'' a Western reporter here said. Five times Mr. Danchev told listeners around the world that Afghanistan was the victim of Soviet aggression.

Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger is limiting attendance by senior Pentagon officials at breakfasts with reporters after policy differences were aired at two such meetings. ''There is something about coffee and eggs at an early hour that causes people to be contentious,'' one department official said today. The first evidence of a crackdown, a term that Mr. Weinberger's aides dispute, came when Lawrence Korb, Assistant Secretary of Defense for manpower affairs, was told he should cancel a scheduled June 2 breakfast with reporters. Mr. Korb was reported to be appealing to Mr. Weinberger because, as one source put it, ''Larry has a lot of good things he wants to get out.''

How Best to Brief The craft of briefing may be a dubious enterprise, is probably not an art and is certainly not a science, but this does not deter governments in their efforts to get their points across to reporters and other purveyors of information and opinion. And with the economic summit meeting coming up this weekend in Williamsburg, Va., the Reagan Administration is hustling to brief opinion moulders arriving by the hundreds from around the world. Yesterday, President Reagan canceled his regular appointment schedule to confer with his staff on how best to handle all the briefing and backgrounding. The White House was said to feel that, so far, too much of the advance reporting on the meeting concerned such things as logistics, the kind of food to be eaten and the planned pageantry in the restored colonial village. Meanwhile, the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company announced that 400 of its employees, working since January at Williamsburg, had installed 5,000 telephones, 68 telex machines, 25 miles of cable and communications equipment to deal with ''hostage situations, bomb threats and other acts of terrorism.''

The House and the Senate, in separate versions of the budget resolution, have endorsed the idea of a new Federal program to provide health care for unemployed people. But the important details, such as the cost and structure of the program, remain to be worked out. The House agreed to spend $5.4 billion in the next two years. The Senate approved $1.8 billion for the same period and attached an important condition: Congress must raise new revenue equal to the program's cost.

Popping up on the Home Box Office schedule several times a month is a half-hour program called ''Not Necessarily the News.'' Inspired by, or cribbed from, Britain's ''Not the Nine O'Clock News,'' the show offers a frenetically paced collection of comedy segments, many of them using ''fractured film footage'' of current news events. The result, a sort of speeded-up ''Laugh-In,'' is inevitably uneven, but there are enough on-target routines to merit further encouragement.

International Unstable global currency rates, according to President Reagan, can be controlled by general economic recovery and reduced inflation. Differences between the United States and France over currency rates are expected to be a major issue at this weekend's seven-nation economic summit meeting in Williamsburg, Va. (Page A1, Col. 6.) The killing of a U.S. military leader in San Salvador Wednesday probably arose from political motives, according to the United States Ambassador. Western and Salvadoran officials differed on whether the assassination of the officer, Lieut. Comdr. Albert A. Schaufelberger 3d, the deputy commander of the United States Military Group there, was carried out by the left, the extreme right or some segment of the Salvadoran security forces unhappy over the level of United States involvement.
