CBS News will give Phyllis George, the CBS sportscaster and former Miss America, a two-week tryout as co-anchor of ''The CBS Morning News,'' beginning on Monday, CBS news officials said yesterday. According to sources at CBS News, if Miss George is comfortable in the role and if she works well with the newscast's staff, she could succeed Diane Sawyer, who left the program in August to join ''60 Minutes,'' CBS's weekly prime-time magazine. ''We are putting Phyllis George on the air because she is well established at CBS and has a variety of skills required for that kind of job, and her availability comes at a time when we need someone to do the broadcast,'' said Ed Joyce, president of CBS News. Miss George currently appears on the CBS Sports broadcast, ''NFL Today.''

In a move designed to promote efficiency and help increase profits, two of the three major television networks, ABC and NBC, are eliminating more than 150 jobs in their news operations, according to network officials. Executives at CBS News, which experienced three waves of staff cutbacks over the last two years, said they too will be cutting some positions, although the number will probably be no more than 10. Network officials said newsgathering capabilities would not be affected. ABC will pare staff in its London, Washington, Chicago and San Francisco bureaus, eliminate two other permanent bureaus in Bonn and Dallas, and establish one new bureau in Denver, according to Roone Arledge, president of ABC News.

International Two Salvadoran rebel leaders flew to El Salvador, setting the stage for their meeting with President Jose Napoleon Duarte. The leaders, Guillermo Manuel Ungo and Ruben Zamora, are the top officials of the rebel opposition. Mr. Ungo said that they came ''to start a dialogue'' that will ''win peace for our homeland.'' (Page A1, Column 6.) Men of similar backgrounds will meet during the talks scheduled between President Duarte and leaders of the Salvadoran left. In the past, Mr. Duarte and the leftist rebel leaders, Guillermo Ungo and Ruben Zamora, all supported peaceful change in El Salvador's dictatorship, but they veered to sharply different paths in their efforts to remedy their country's social injustices.

ORGANIZATIONS AID OFFICIALS WHO BELIEVE THEY WERE DEFAMED

A number of nonprofit organizations are now offering legal and financial support to people who believe their reputations have been unfairly damaged, adding to the financial and editorial pressure on the nation's press from the increase in multimillion-dollar libel suits by public officials. Such officials have generally shied away from libel actions since a 1964 ruling by the Supreme Court making it much more difficult for them to recover damages for injury to their reputations. But Henry R. Kaufman of the Libel Defense Resource Center, which monitors actions against the press, says officials seem to be increasingly willing to tackle the legal challenge and expense, armed with new resources. For example, the Capital Legal Foundation, a public-interest law firm, expects to spend $2.5 million to represent Gen. William Westmoreland in his $120 million libel action against CBS, according to Dan M. Burt, Capital's president. General Westmoreland contends that he was falsely accused in a 1982 ''CBS Reports'' broadcast of deceiving President Johnson and others about enemy troop strength in the Vietnam War. CBS has not stated its defense costs, but Chad Milton, a libel insurance executive not connected with the case, estimates that the network will spend ''many millions.''

A French official said today that the Soviet Union appeared to be trying to intimidate journalists who report from inside Afghanistan through the arrest and probable trial of a reporter for the French state television network. The journalist, Jacques Abouchar, 53 years old, was captured in Afghanistan last month. The French Government has been told that he will probably stand trial in Kabul on charges of ''illegally entering Afghanistan accompanied by an armed band.'' The French official said it was clear that the Russians would seek to ''maximize the benefits coming out of this operation.''

YOUNGER VOTERS TENDING TO GIVE REAGAN SUPPORT
Date: 16 October 1984
By Steven V. Roberts, Special To the New York Times
Steven Roberts
In the late 1960's, the rallying cry for many young Americans was, ''Don't trust anyone over 30.'' In 1984, by contrast, the youth culture appears to put its trust in a President who is over 70. Ronald Reagan, at the age of 73 the oldest President, is more popular with young voters than with any other age group, according to a number of polls. Many disagree with some of his policies, but he is coming across to young people as a firm yet kindly grandfather figure, a leader who inspires confidence in an uncertain world. 61-to-30 Over Mondale According to combined figures from the two most recent New York Times/ CBS News Polls, taken before the Presidential debate on Oct. 7, voters from the ages of 18 to 24 supported Mr. Reagan by 61 percent to 30 percent over his Democratic challenger, Walter F. Mondale. For the rest of the electorate the margin was narrower, 53 to 32. Polls indicated some shift in public opinion after the Presidential and Vice- Presidential debates, but there was no indication of a marked change in the youngest age groups.

REAGAN ORDERS ACTION ON EAVESDROPPING

President Reagan, acting on on intelligence reports that Soviet eavesdropping is a serious security threat, has ordered the creation of a cabinet-level group to combat it. Mr. Reagan signed a directive three weeks ago spelling out the extent of the threat and ordering a Government move to reduce the loss of Government and private industry information that might help the Soviet Union or other nations. According to the unclassified version of the President's order, equipment that is used to eavesdrop on telephone conversations and other kinds of electronic messages is now widely available and ''is being used extensively by foreign nations.'' The order added that the technology ''can be employed by terrorist groups and criminal elements.''
