FROM STAR WIRE SERVICES Attention to the Iran arms-Contra aid scandal turned to the White House Sunday, with a key Senate investigator saying President Reagan "knew much more" about the Iran-Contra affair than the administration is willing to admit. Investigators also are looking into Vice President George Bush's connections to the supply of weapons to the Contras. Sen.

Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, appearing on NBC's Meet the Press, said he doesn't know if Mr. Reagan knew about the diversion of profits from U.S. arms sales to Iran to buy weapons for the Contras. But the president was aware of private fund-raising efforts to arm the rebels, Inouye said. Inouye, and Sen.

Warren Rudman, are leaders of the Senate Iran-Contra panel that will begin hearings Tuesday. White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater and White House chief of staff Howard Baker said Sunday that Mr. Reagan knew of no illegal fund-raising activities. Baker reiterated the president's position that when Mr. Reagan met with people who donated money to help the Contras, he believed he was thanking them for funding television advertisements in support of the rebels.

As for Bush's involvement in the affair, Independent counsel Lawrence Walsh, in a report to Congress, specifically listed the office of the vice president as among the objects of his ongoing criminal investigation. While there have been questions about the vice president's role since last winter, only recently has the focus on Bush and his aides sharpened. The Tower Commission's report released in February made scant mention of Bush's role, despite signs of involvement in the affair by him and his staff. But the Tower panel interviewed only Bush and none of his staff. At issue is the involvement from start to finish in the affair of a former CIA agent who is a top aide to the vice president.

Sunday night's announcement by Jordan's Prime Minister Zeid Rifai left uncertain whether the Palestine Liberation Organization would play a role in the proposed conference. Rifai said the PLO should attend as part of a joint Jordanian-Palestinian delegation but then stipulated that the organization renounce terrorism and accept U.N. Security Council resolutions 242 and 338, which recognize accept the proposal or to break up and conduct new elections that would serve as a referendum on Israel's willingness to enter such talks. Shamir has consistently opposed the peace conference plan, saying such a forum was designed by Hussein and other Arab leaders to force Israel into territorial concessions that would weaken the Jewish state.

It was Hussein who last week hosted a secret meeting of great potential significance between two of the Middle East's most implacable foes, the leaders of Syria and Iraq, according to well-informed Israeli sources.

Jordan also challenged Israel's badly divided coalition government to decide whether it will attend such a forum. The statement marked Jordan's first official acknowledgement of reports from Israel that Jordan's King Hussein and Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres have, through American mediation, reached some agreement on guidelines for such a conference.

Those sources said Peres on Sunday notified Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, in writing that he intends to raise the issue at Wednesday's meeting of the 10-member inner Cabinet, Israel's chief decision-making body.
