The board of directors of National Public Radio Friday postponed action on a proposal to take over the financially troubled United Press International. Frank F. Mankiewicz, president of the radio operation, had suggested that the E.W. Scripps Company of Cincinnati, the owner of U.P.I., give it the news service and receive a tax credit for a charitable donation. Mr. Mankiewicz said his organization would try to raise $50 million from various foundations to support U.P.I. until it could be made profitable.

An internationa l conference aimed at finding practical ways to strengthen journali sm and communications indeveloping countries began here today, with t he United States strongly opposed to a series of proposals tha t would increase government control of news. The conference, the second session of a Unesco-backed International Program for Development of Communications, is the result of an American effort to channel a protracted and often bitter debate over a ''new world information order'' toward specific projects that would help the free flow of news. The Reagan Administration is unwilling to provide any direct financing for a program controlled by third world governments and is instead proposing projects supported by the American private sector.

A law permitting reporters to withhold their sources, adopted by California voters in 1980, was declared unconstitutional today by a Superior Court judge on the ground that it created unsupportable conflict with the constitutional right to a fair trial. The issue concerns ''outtakes,'' or unused film, from an interview conducted for the CBS News program ''60 Minutes'' by Mike Wallace. Judge Stanley Golde of Alameda County directed an attorney for CBS, Edwin Heafey Jr. of Oakland, to bring the deleted material to court Jan. 25.

Governor Byrne of New Jersey yesterday pardoned The New York Times and one of its reporters, M. A. Farber, for criminal contempt in their refusal to surrender the reporter's notes in the widely publicized 1978 ''Dr. X'' murder trial. Mr. Farber spent 40 days in jail and the newspaper paid a $286,000 fine for refusing a judge's directive to disclose the sources of their articles about the defendant, Dr. Mario E. Jascalevich. The Bergen County surgeon was acquitted of charges he had murdered five hospital patients by injecting them with curare. In issuing the pardon, which had been sought by the newspaper and the reporter, Governor Byrne noted court decisions and changes in the New Jersey ''shield law'' that, he said, gave credence to their arguments. He also said: ''Mr. Farber and the Times Company were attempting to uphold a principle they believed in. They should not be burdened by a record of criminal contempt any longer.''

For months, President Reagan had been complaining about unauthorized ''leaks.'' But his abrupt decision last week to limit reporters' access to national security information came so fast that it was said to have created some tension around the role of William P. Clark, the new national security adviser. According to several officials, Mr. Clark insisted that Mr. Reagan's toughly worded directive on classified information, providing, among other things, that any official involved in national security policy obtain approval before talking to a reporter, be made public after it was signed late Tuesday afternoon. Officials in the White House press office argued that if this were done, the announcement would be too late for inclusion on television news shows and many newspapers. James A. Baker 3d, the White House chief of staff, reportedly sided with them.

Mayor Koch's preliminary plans to balance his budget for the next fiscal year rest in good part on dozens of proposed efficiencies and changes in the way certain segments of local government go about their daily business. They range from eliminating watchmen in some public buildings between midnight and 8 A.M. (saving $420,000) to requiring all city prisoners to leave their cells during recreation periods so that guards are not needed for those who might wish to remain behind (saving $463,000). No single proposal is worth a great deal of money, not to a city that expects to spend $15.7 billion in fiscal 1983. But altogether they produce a potential saving of $158 million. That goal is not only unusually ambitious, but also four times the scale that the Koch administration was talking about only a few months ago.

International A U.S. military attache was slain outside his home in Paris by a solitary gunman who escaped. The murder of Lieut. Col. Charles Robert Ray came two months after the attempted shooting of Christian A. Chapman, charge d'affaires at the American Embassy. The police called the two attacks very similar. (Page A1, Column 3.) Thousands of Indians were arrested in advance of a one-day national strike called for today to protest the economic policies of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Most of those seized are union activists. (A1:1.)
