NBC News has created an ''anchor pool'' of correspondents who will fill in for Tom Brokaw, the chief anchor on the ''Nightly News'' program, a move away from the policy of having a principal substitute for Mr. Brokaw. Roger Mudd, the Washington-based correspondent, had filled the role of permanent substitute anchor before the change.

AT news conferences that will start today at the ''21'' Club and then roll across the nation, Mortimer B. Zuckerman, the chairman, editor in chief and owner of U.S. News & World Report, will report that the extensive redesign of the magazine generally did not disturb the magazine's hard-core subscribers and indeed helped increase circulation by 250,000 in the first quarter. The U.S. News crew is so pleased that they have had the increase verified by the Audit Bureau of Circulations. The rate base is 2.05 million, so with an actual circulation of 2.3 million there is for advertisers a 10 percent bonus circulation and a guarantee of no rate increases for 1986. Mr. Zuckerman, in a conversation Friday, was joined in his Boston Properties office in the Seagram Building by William H. Harris, the executive vice president of the magazine, and Richard A. Pounder, the senior vice president of its agency DFS-Dorland Worldwide, New York (nee Dancer Fitzgerald Sample). He kept the conversation mostly on circulation because the advertising picture for the first quarter, according to the Publishers Information Bureau, was fairly flat for U.S. News, as it was for Time and Newsweek. Business and financial magazines, P.I.B. reports, did less well and they compete for the same ad dollars.

International A major Soviet nuclear accident apparently occurred at a power plant in the Ukraine. The Kremlin acknowledged there had been an accident and said ''aid is being given to those affected.'' The announcement - the first official disclosure of a nuclear accident ever by the Soviet Union -came hours after Sweden, Finland and Denmark reported abnormally high radioactivity levels in their skies. [ Page A1, Column 6. ] The Soviet reactor accident probably poses no danger outside the Soviet Union, according to American nuclear experts. They said it would be extremely difficult to determine how severe the accident may have been, but added that the environmental damage in Soviet territory might be disastrous. [ A10:4-6. ]

International President Reagan rejected a claim by Ferdinand E. Marcos that he is still the rightful President of the Philippines, White House officials said. Mr. Reagan spoke by telephone to Mr. Marcos soon after Mr. Reagan arrived in Honolulu on the second day of his 13-day trip to the Far East for a meeting with foreign ministers of Southeast Asian countries in Indonesia and to attend the annual ecnomic summit meeting in Tokyo May 4 to 6. The phone conversation was the first direct contact between Mr. Reagan and Mr. Marcos since the deposed President fled the Philippines Feb. 26. White House officials said Mr. Marcos's claim to the presidency was turned down gently, but firmly. [ Page A1, Column 6. ] Ferdinand E. Marcos told followers that he was ''ready to fight'' and that they should keep demonstrating in his behalf without violence. The deposed President spoke by telephone from his house in Hawaii to a rally in Manila attended by 10,000 people. The call lasted nearly 20 minutes. Mr. Marcos did not refer to the telephone call that he received earlier from President Reagan. [ A11:1. ]

On a live interview on the ''CBS Evening News'' recently, Dan Rather, the CBS anchor, confronted Secretary of State George P. Shultz with a report that the United States attack on Libya had jeopardized the chances for a summit conference, and tried to elicit a direct response. ''Is that true?'' Mr. Rather asked. But instead of answering directly, Mr. Shultz held forth on the subject of aggression encouraging aggression. Mr. Rather tried to put the question to him again. Mr. Shultz interrupted, and again avoided answering the question. Mr. Rather asked a third time, and finally, Mr. Shultz replied that ''obviously'' the chances for a summit talk had decreased. The exchange illustrates what some industry observers see as a risk in conducting live interviews: the subject gains greater control over what goes over the air than he would have in an edited report. Despite that risk, however, live interviews, which put the anchors in the spotlight, are gaining network favor. And the spread of the technique has led to criticism that promotion, rather than journalism, is being served.

Ed Whitson, the Yankees' beleaguered pitcher, pitched a good inning of relief yesterday, and George Steinbrenner said he hoped to relieve Whitson's problems by having him stop talking to the news media. Whitson, however, said reporters have not been his problem. ''His agent is going to tell him, 'You are not talking; your pitching will do your talking,' '' Steinbrenner, speaking to reporters, said after Whitson gave up one hit in the last inning of the Yankees' 9-7 loss to Cleveland. ''If he comes to us and says, 'They're on my case,' I'll put a cop down there and out you'll go.''

When President Reagan visits Indonesia this week, he should encourage greater freedom of the press, both for Indonesian journalists and their foreign counterparts. The issue is important not only to journalists, for the Indonesian public and the rest of the world are being denied essential information about Jakarta's repressive rule. Strategically located and economically important, Indonesia is the world's fifth most populous nation, the world's largest Moslem country and a pre-eminent member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. Staunchly anti-Communist and ruled by a well-entrenched military, Indonesia has been the recipient, over the last 10 years, of approximately $2 billion in direct American military and economic aid. Echoing its predecessors, the Reagan Administration is lavish in its public praise of the Government of President Suharto, who has ruled by fiat since he seized power 20 years ago.
