Members of the Buffalo Newspaper Guild voted against a concession required by Rupert Murdoch's News America Company tonight, apparently ending the chances of the failing Buffalo Courier-Express being sold to its only potential buyer. The 148-year-old morning newspaper is scheduled to print its last edition on Sunday unless a buyer is found.

Roser, Assistant Energy Secretary for defense programs, called the report published today by The Washington Post ''completely inaccurate and false.''

The police say they are investigating the possibility that the unsolved slaying of a Vietnamese newspaper editor here last month was in retaliation for one or more of the editor's articles. The editor, Nguyen Dam Thong, 48 years old, was shot to death outside his home Aug. 24. Shortly before the slaying, friends and relatives said, Mr. Thong received numerous threats about his articles. His wife said she had been unable to revive her husband's biweekly newspaper because the threats, now directed toward her, had continued.

President Reagan's call for a special postelection legislative session, which distressed Congressional leaders of both parties, points up the conflicting perspectives that create continued antagonisms between the White House and Capitol Hill. From the White House perspective, the session is a showdown with a recalcitrant Congress that followed practices that amounted to ''both bad economics and bad management,'' in the President's words. Congress was depicted as shirking its responsibility to approve the 13 appropriation bills needed to keep the Government running in the new fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1. From the Congressional perspective, Mr. Reagan's action reflects ''continued lack of understanding by the President's staff of the limitations of the President's power and the workings of the Congress,'' in the words of a top aide to the Senate Republican leadership.

It was, at a minimum, an improbable theft that the First National Bank of Chicago discovered on Oct. 11, 1977. And, as a bank spokesman noted, a tidy theft it was, too: $1 million, ''not $1 less, not $1 more,'' whisked out of the vault, with no sign of forcible entry.

WASHINGTON THE House of Representatives voted last week to block passage of a bill that would lengthen by as long as seven years the patents that companies hold on drugs and chemicals. After many months of relative obscurity, the bill recently became a major bone of contention between the two rival branches of the drug industry, which have millions of dollars at stake. And controversy over the legislation led several House members to switch sides. On one side within the industry are those companies that do original research and market drugs under a brand name. On the other side are those that copy the drugs and sell the ''generic'' versions at a discount.

International Palestinians were massacred by Lebanese Christian militiamen in a refugee camp on the southern edge of west Beirut, according to witnesses and reporters who visited the camp. (Page 1, Column 6.) The President condemned the killings of Palestinians in Beirut and called again for an immediate Israeli withdrawal from west Beirut. In a separate statement, the United States joined with France and Italy in calling for United Nations observers to be sent immediately to the sites of the murders. (1:3.)

Searching for a presidential nominee who might be a ''consensus candidate,'' the Lebanese Christian Phalangist Party has proposed 40-year-old Amin Gemayel, the brother of the slain President-elect. It seemed to many when the party's political bureau advanced Amin's name Thursday night that he would have little difficulty in winning the election to be held by Parliament for a successor to President Elias Sarkis, whose six-year term is due to end next Thursday. Today Amin's supporters still thought he would win, even though a rival candidate appeared who might split the vote. The National Liberal Party today named its 82-year-old leader, former President Camille Chamoun, to oppose him in the race. Mr. Chamoun and his party had helped make Amin's late brother, Bashir, the President-elect on Aug. 23. There was no immediate explanation of why the former President decided to make the race himself against a Gemayel who was being pictured as the ''consensus candidate.''

International The Government in West Germany, a coalition that has governed for the past 13 years, collapsed. The Government fell as the Free Democrats pulled their four ministers out of the Government, and Chancellor Helmut Schmidt challenged the opposition to agree to hold new elections. (Page 1, Column 6.) More Israeli armored forces poured into west Beirut, increasing their grip on the predominantly Moslem sector of the Lebanese capital. Lebanese Christian militiamen, meanwhile, entered Palestinian refugee camps in the southern suburbs to arrest guerrilla suspects. It was reported that Israeli troops had occupied a consulate building inside the Soviet Embassy compound. (1:5.)

Not long after Duke University had declined to become the home of Richard M. Nixon's Presidential library, the word went out that Baker was willing. The City Council of the Oregon community of 10,000 said last April it had authorized a committee to look into the matter.
