A survey of former Federal officials reports that 42 percent said they made selective disclosures of Government information to news organizations, mainly to influence public debate on governmental policy. The survey, part of a new book, ''Impact,'' by Martin Linsky of Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government, also said many officials make such disclosures to develop good working relationships with reporters.

The World A U.S. official charged the Russians with an ''unprecedented violation'' of diplomatic practice for their disclosure of purported quotes from President Reagan during the Iceland summit meeting. Page A1 Moscow may have to make public minutes of the Iceland meeting to dispel the Reagan Administration's ''massive disinformation campaign'' about the talks, said a Soviet expert on U.S. affairs. A11 Major reappraisals of nuclear safety and emergency planning around the world have resulted from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, experts say. Even nuclear plants unlike Chernobyl's are under scrutiny.

The World A Soviet official quoted the President in Moscow to show that Mr. Reagan agreed in Iceland to eliminate all strategic offensive forces, not just ballistic missiles, as the White House has said. Page 1 The White House restated its position that Mr. Reagan and Mikhail S. Gorbachev had discussed the elimination of all nuclear weapons, but that the talks had never reached even a tentative agreement. #12 Britain called on the Soviet Union to announce publicly its rejection of state-supported terrorism. The request came after London said it had evidence that Syria was involved in an El Al bomb plot. #1 British agents eavesdropped on conversations verifying the complicity of the Syrian Ambassador in the plot to bomb an Israeli airliner, according to Government officials. #6 A vote to oust the South African delegation from a Red Cross conference was made as a protest to apartheid, many countries said. It is the first delegation to be excluded since the Red Cross began. #1 G.M.-I.B.M. moves in Pretoria 14 Financial deficits grieve the Vatican, which urgently needs greater contributions from Roman Catholics, according to a commission of cardinals. The Holy See suffered a shortfall of $39 million in 1985. #9 A trial in Nicaragua is set to proceed in the case against the American captured from a downed rebel supply plane. A tribunal is expected to spend the next 8 to 12 days judging the case, political analysts say.

Caught in the coils of a plot he might well have devised for one of his best-selling novels, Jeffrey Archer resigned today as deputy chairman of the Conservative Party after a Sunday tabloid disclosed he had made a payoff to a prostitute. Mr. Archer, a politician who turned to fiction after an embarrassing bankruptcy forced him to give up a seat in the House of Commons, had held his unpaid post in Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's party for a little more than a year. His political comeback was abruptly terminated by the appearance in The News of the World, a newspaper that specializes in scandal, of a phone conversation he had Thursday evening with the prostitute. In the recorded conversation, arrangements were made for the prostitute, Monica Coghlan, to receive money from an intermediary the next morning so she could leave the country.

Two dissident groups have made public what they say is evidence of an official campaign to distort press coverage of the Government's relations with the United States and to portray the opposition as pro-Communist. The groups, the Council for the Promotion of Democracy and the Council for Journalists' Democracy Movement, have begun distributing copies of a log that contains hundreds of directives issued by the Information Ministry in the last year to newspapers, telling them how to report major news stories or to refrain from reporting on them. The distortions, the groups say, have fostered anti-Americanism. The Vice Minister of Culture and Information, Choi Cheng Yoon, said the log was ''largely fabricated.'' But he added: ''When we have very serious issues relating to national security and the national interest, we ask the press to cooperate with the Government. We explain the basic policy lines, but the final decision is up to the editors.''

The General Motors Corporation is scaling back plans for its highly touted Saturn Corporation, according to a report today in the Detroit News. According to the newspaper, which relied mainly on unnamed sources, G.M. will produce only 200,000 cars a year once production begins sometime in the 1990's, well below the 500,000-a-year level announced in the original Saturn plan. In a telephone interview today, Jerome P. Bishop, a spokesman for the company, said top G.M. officials had publicly stated that the Saturn manufacturing complex being built in Spring Hill, Tenn., would operate at less than full production while the Saturn brand is being introduced.

THE WHITE HOUSE Family Theater is the room in which the Usual Suspects - a motley assortment of pundits, itinerant authors and editorialists - are assembled on the eve of major occasions to hear The Word from The Man. In a recent session, the President did not feel the need to dissociate himself from charges of using ''disinformation.'' That word was adopted in 1955 from the Russian dezinformatsiya, taken from the name of a division of the K.G.B. devoted to black propaganda. (Propaganda is ''deceitful persuasion''; black propaganda goes beyond that to employ outright lying and concealment of sources.) The word borrowed back from the Russians was used in a secret memo by Vice Adm. John M. Poindexter, the President's national security adviser, as part of a recommendation (never meant to be exposed to public view) of a course of public deception intended to increase the nervous strain on Libya's Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi. Disinformation means ''the intentional dissemination of lies to the media,'' and differs from misinformation in its intent. Because intentional lying has usually been considered a no-no in the United States, at least in peacetime, some of those in the White House and State Department wished to put some distance between themselves and the word the national security adviser chose.

AS Arthur Owens sees it, he is the founder and president of Sports and Health Club Inc., Marc Crevier and Forest Larson are the ''secular stockholders'' and God owns the business. The chain of six Minnesota health clubs, based in Minneapolis, ran afoul of the State Human Rights Department by practicing what its operators believed to be biblical principles. The company declined to hire anyone deemed antagonistic to the Gospel's moral standards and declared it would promote to managerial positions only ''growing Christians.'' In practice, Mr. Owens agreed, this amounted to a hiring ban on homosexuals and single people living with someone of the opposite sex.
