The martial law authorities today detained Salim Bayer, managing editor of Hurriyet, Turkey's largest-selling newspaper, on charges of publishing ''fabricated'' news, the paper reported. The Prime Minister's office yesterday denied reports in Friday's Hurriyet that the Cabinet was to announce sweeping price increases soon on many state-produced goods and services.

Asked recently about the chances for an agreement at the conference here on South-West Africa, the nation to be known as Namibia, a South African Cabinet Minister replied that he was pessimistic. ''Do you think,'' he inquired, ''that it is possible to satisfy all the demands of Sam Nujoma?'' In fact, one of the striking features of the conference so far is that Mr. Nujoma, the leader of the insurgent movement known as the South-West Africa People's Organization, has made no demands whatsoever. In his one public statement, he simply declared - in a manner that his own spokesman, at least, could later call ''statesmanlike'' and that diplomats described as a refreshing change from his performance at previous meetings - that he was ready to sign a cease-fire now to end the guerrilla war on the disputed territory's northern border and start the transition to independence. So far the flow of demands and polemics has been almost entirely one-way, coming from political parties functioning inside the territory that have been seated here, against their own strenuous objections, as members of the official South African delegation. Some of these parties could marshal support in an election campaign but others have little more than a paper existence.

For the Reagan administration, the beleaguered Government of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in Britain has become more a political object lesson than a lesson in economics. Since May 1979, when Mrs. Thatcher led the Conservative Party to a sweeping victory, her administration's performance has been watched to see whether Britain's stagnant, inflation-ridden economy could be revived with strict fiscal discipline or whether it was perhaps irretrievably doomed to be a perpetual example of mismanagement. But now, as Mrs. Thatcher copes with a rain of criticism, the Reagan team seems most impressed with how the public's impatience for solutions to pressing economic problems can so overwhelm a new Government that its policy initiatives are aborted or discredited before being tried. David Stockman, Mr. Reagan's choice to head the Office of Management and Budget, sees a warning in Mrs. Thatcher's political difficulties.

The prize was $100,000, and Carnegie-Mellon University said in May 1980 that it would award it to the first person to come up with a computer program that would defeat the world chess champion. Dr. Hans Berliner, a computer scientist at the university and a former world champion in chess by correspondence, was named head of a rules committee for the competition. He said that no computer could defeat the chess champion in the next five years, but that this was a 50-50 possibility by 1990 and a certainty by the year 2000.

The urban report of the President's Commission for a National Agenda for the 80's has aroused more animosities across a broad spectrum of political philosophy than any other document on the cities in recent years, even though it has not yet been presented to the President. The controversy continues to boil nearly three weeks after the commission's embargo on the report was broken and its recommendations disclosed. One of its most controversial recommendations t said that the Government should offer incentives for the movement of poor people to where the jobs are, even if that meant increasing the migration from the old industrial cities of the North to states in the South and West. Representative Robert W. Edgar, Democrat of Pennsylvania, chairman of the Northeast-Midwest Congressional coalition, met Thursday with the chairman of the commission, William J. McGill, former president of Columbia University, to register the coalition's objections to the report. It has been criticized by both liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans.

Tonight, the afternoon edition started by The Daily News five months ago to attract a new, upper-income readership, has drawn only about one-third the number of readers News executives had informally projected as its potential. Officials of The News said a part of their package of changes aimed at the ''upscale'' residents - the Manhattan section and five lifestyle sections - had been well received by readers. The Manhattan section has attracted more than twice the advertising originally projected, they said. Last week, however, they changed the production schedule for Tonight and told union officials they would cut some press runs by Feb. 1, affecting workers on the afternoon and morning editions.

HARTFORD IN his first major policy pronouncement as Governor, William A. O'Neill has staked out a conservative approach to the state's fiscal problems by emphasizing spending cuts rather than tax increases. Mr. O'Neill's message on the state of the state to the new General Assembly last Wednesday - a message that even the new Democratic Governor acknowledged was a discouraging one - delighted the Republican minorities in both houses, caught unawares some Democratic leaders who had been sending up trial balloons for higher taxes, and brought protests from municipal officials, who stand to lose state grants they had counted on. The result may be good politics for a new Governor who has only two years to build a record on which to run for election in his own right at a time when polls show that state taxpayers favor cuts in government spending. But it promises to make relations more difficult between the Governor and the Democratic majorities in the Legislature, who will be asked to vote for the proposed spending cuts. Mr. O'Neill, a former legislator and Lieutenant Governor who took office Dec. 31 when Ella T. Grasso resigned because of ill health, received an ovation from his former colleagues as he entered the Hall of the House, but somewhat more subdued applause after he finished his speech and quickly left the chamber.

WASHINGTON IN THE opinion of New Jersey's Washington office, the influence of the state's Congressional delegation has waned this year, largely because of the defeat of Representative Frank Thompson Jr., the 13-term Trenton Democrat, and the Republican ascendancy in the Senate. ''There's no doubt in my mind that New Jersey will miss a great deal in losing Thompy,'' said Marilyn Thompson, director of the state office, who is not related to the former Congressman. ''And we've obviously been disadvantaged by the Democratic loss of control of the Senate.'' However, Mrs. Thompson added, those losses, although considerable, should be tempered somewhat by several gains in committees, where legislation of crucial interest to New Jersey is developed. An examination of the committee assignments provides a gauge of the New Jersey delegation's influence.

Yigael Hurwitz, who brought Prime Minister Menachem Begin's Likud Government to the brink of collapse yesterday by announcing his resignation as Finance Minister, is the only Israeli to quit the same Government twice. In September 1978, he resigned as Minister of Commerce, Industry and Tourism because he objected to the provisions in the Camp David accords calling for the return of Sinai to Egypt and the granting of autonomy to Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. He returned to the Begin Government as Finance Minister in November 1979. In announcing his second resignation, effective Tuesday, he said the Government had not been sufficiently firm in responding to the demands of Israel's 58,000 teachers for wage increases. He argued that meeting the demands would touch off a chain reaction of similar requests from other working groups.
