USA Today, a nationally distributed general-interest newspaper that has been loudly mocked and quietly mimicked, marked its first birthday yesterday, turning aside industry questions about whether its financial losses imperiled its future. Allen H. Neuharth, the president of the Gannett Company, which owns USA Today, told a news conference in New York that he was confident about the publication's prospects. As evidence, he announced that Gannett was making new investments to increase the size of the newspaper and was studying its possible expansion into Europe and the Far East. Stock analysts estimate that USA Today will lose more than $70 million this year, more than any other newspaper has lost in a single year. Mr. Neuharth characterized the losses as ''substantial'' but declined to elaborate.

Only hours before a television station was to present a new program of political discussion on Tuesday, the Government prohibited the broadcast. According to Marta Blanco, station director, the program could not be aired ''because it was not appropriate at the present moment.'' The scheduled guest was Andres Zaldivar, an opposition politician. A well-known journalist, Raquel Correa of the conservative daily El Mercurio, had been selected as the moderator.

A senior Soviet official said today that it was ''wishful thinking'' for the West to hope that outrage over the shooting down of a South Korean airliner would prompt the Kremlin to make concessions in medium-range missile talks in Geneva. The official, Georgi M. Korniyenko, who is a First Deputy Foreign Minister, spoke at a news conference at which he and Marshal Sergei F. Akhromeyev, a first deputy chief of the General Staff, appeared to rule out compromises that might forestall or reduce planned missile deployment in Western Europe. Mr. Korniyenko also said demands for compensation for families of the airliner victims were ''irrelevant'' because financial and political responsibility for the destruction of the plane and the deaths of its 269 passengers and crew members rested with the United States, which he said had sent the civilian airliner on a spying mission. The news conference appeared intended to affirm the Soviet position in the face of the international outcry.

Americans are displaying a mood of frustration and contradiction over the Soviet downing of the South Korean airliner on Sept. 1, a New York Times/ CBS News Poll shows. The survey indicates that people doubt the full story is being told, but that they generally approve of President Reagan's handling of the matter even though they do not find it tough enough. Sixty-one percent said they felt the United States Government was ''holding back information that people ought to know,'' a percentage only slightly greater than the 56 percent who said Mr. Reagan was not tough enough. Yet 55 percent said they approved of his approach overall, though among them nearly half wanted tougher action.

The House has a chance today to rebuke a backstage legislative maneuver and avoid a dangerous competition in a loathsome weapon: poison gas. But to do so, it has to take the unheard-of step of rejecting a House-Senate conference report on the entire $200 billion defense authorization for 1984. The call to do just that comes from Chairman Zablocki of the Foreign Affairs Committee and 100 colleagues. They are enraged by the maneuvering by which the report overrode the House's repeated and overwhelming rejection of a new binary nerve gas. The Senate approved $131 million for it only by the tie-breaking vote of Vice President Bush. But members of the House Military Affairs Committee betrayed their chamber's leadership and accepted the Senate endorsement in a private deal.

The United States Navy has undertaken an urgent effort to recover wreckage of the South Korean airliner shot down by a Soviet fighter, with priority assigned to finding the plane's two crash-resistant data recorders, the Defense Department said today. Vital questions are whether the wreckage is in international or in Soviet waters and whether a Soviet ship, in any case, may get there first. Apparently the United States effort would be confined to international waters. Up to now the Russians have refused to acknowledge requests for a search in Soviet waters.
