The Uppsala Scismological Institution in Sweden said the shot had an explosive force of eight megatons - equal to 8 million tons of TNT. The AEC said only that it was in the "megaton range." But it added that this was the 10th specific test it has announced since the current Soviet series began and that there had been more. Detected Tetlt "In accordance with stand ard U.S. practice, not all de tected Soviet tests are specifi cally announced," the agency said. On Aug. 6, the AEC said the Soviets had exploded a 30 megaton device the day be fore. That announcement in dicated that the Russians ap parently had resumed atmos pheric testing a few days earlier. Saturday's annnouncement added that "it is clear that a number of additional nuclear tests have been conducted during their current series." The blast detected Saturday was set off in Russia's Arctic testing range at Novaya Zem lya. The AEC statement differed from previous announcements which largely have been con fined to saying an explosion had taken place. This one said that "today the Soviets con ducted another atmospheric detonation in what is an in tensive nuclear test series." An AEC spokesman, asked to explain the phrase, said "I've no way of interpreting or elaborating on this." Most of the current Russian blasts have been big ones. The massive series last fall had smaller explosions as well, al though it concluded with the detonation of a superbomb equal to about 55 or 60 meg atons. Swedish scientists have es timated that the Russians have exploded nuclear devices to taling 100 megatons of power in the Novaya Zemlya area during this testing scries. Chicago -ItPD- The first week of the National Farm Or ganization's rebellion ended Saturday with livestock prices the highest in several years and hundreds of packinghouse workers laid off. Housewives could expect to pay more money for meat this week. Industry sources said the NFO holding action un doubtedly was a factor as live stock receipts slumped and the cattle and hogs that were marketed sold at the highest prices in three or four years. But just how much, they would not say. The Rath Pack ing Co., of Waterloo, Iowa, was the only firm that placed direct blame on the seven-year-old NFO for layoffs in the face of the livestock short age. Meat men said that prices for fed steers have risen nine of the last 10 weeks. Top grade animals have been scarce for several months. The Meat Prices Soar As Farm Group's Rebellion Is Felt Labor day week end, they said, also helped to cut mar ketings. Others said the real test of the NFO action would come next week when its members and supporters will be tempt- Sister Beauties Applaud as Marty Joins Top Group Moment Culminates Week's Competition Atlantic City (Special) Lovely Marty Wyatt of Jack sonville, Miss Oregon in the Miss America contest here, was named one of the 10 sens ed to market their livestock . finalists from among whom anway - to take advantage of .

Found lying in front of a pickup truck about 200 yards off Highway 66 was Harlan Wesley Bostwick of Ashland Star Route, Box 85,. State po lice launched an investigation of the death. There was no immediate indication of whe ther Bostwick was a suicide victim. State police learned of the death at 3:57 p.m. Saturday from Frank Clogston of Ash land Star Route, Box 76, a friend of Bostwick who dis covered the victim's body. Bostwick had been missing since sometime Thursday, po lice said. He lived across from the Mountain View cafe.

Soblen showed slight improve ment Saturday though he re mained in a coma following an overdose of barbiturates. Doctors thought Friday that he was at. the point of death indicated that the refugee spy may live to serve the life sen tence for spying from which he fled the United States 73 days ago. It was the second time that Soblen had delayed his return to the United States by a simi lar means. Previously he slashed himself with a steak knife. Soblen, beginning the third day of unconsciousness, ral lied during the night, and doc tors said his coma was less deep and his heart beat stead ier. A 5:25 p.m. (12:25 p.m. EDT) medical bulletin said he was maintaining the improve ment. While a h o s p i t a 1 official read the bulletin to newsmen the 61-year-old Lithuanian born psychiatrist lay in a sparsely furnished room. With him were Scotland Yard de tectives and his wife, Dina Soblen. Mrs. Soblen, who lost her life savings when Soblen jumped $100,000 bail in New York and fled to Israel, kept almost as steady a bedside vigil as the detectives. She was sleeping at the hospital in a visitor's room. It was visitors' day at the hospital Saturday. But Mrs. Soblen, described by her Brit ish lawyer as deeply dis traught, was the only person except for the police and me dical attendants allowed into the room in the C-l ward.

But this one had the outward ap pearance of being the most successful by far. Interior Iowa Markets -made up of 13 individual mar kets and shipments to 11 out-of-state slaughter houses -listed receipts for the week of 129,000 - almost half the 222, 000 last week and 248.000 one year ago. The NFO headquar ters is at Corning, Iowa. In Chicago, the weekly sum mary showed cattle receipts at 12 major midwest markets were 172,600, compared with 201,800 one year ago. Hog re ceipts dropped from 25,650 one year ago to 17,500 for the week, and sheep from 3,400 to 3,000. A load of prime cattle reached $34 per hundred pounds at Chicago Friday, the highest since May, 1959. The heifer top of $30 went back to June, 1959 Most hogs sold at the highest levels in nearly four years. A Wilson packinghouse firm spokesman said he expected chain markets to boost meat prices next week. "They have to," he said, "since wholesale prices are up sharply this week. Prices for pork loins nave risen 10 cents a pound." Polio Clinic Set Next Week End The third clinic for distri bution of the Sabin oral polio vaccine Type II will be next week end, Sept. 15 and 16.

Called Congratulation! When she heard her name called, Marty gave a cry of delight and her sister beauties on the stage applauded and called their congratulations. The wonderful moment was the culmination of a full week of hectic competitions and re hearsals. Miss Oregon competed in evening gown, swimsuit and talent contest with the other nine semi-finalists before a nation-wide television audi ence. Competing against Marty In the final round Saturday night were Misses Georgia, Hawaii, Michigan, Nebraska, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas and Wisconsin. Saturday was a ncrve- wracking day for the contest ants, who were up at 7 a.m. and on the Convention hall stage for a .final round of re hearsals an hour later. Every one's mind was on the night's big announcement of the list of semi-finalists, but somehow producer Al Cantwell man aged to achieve a measure of perfection in the new routine he was trying to teach the 54 beauties Heavy Question Perhaps the rehearsals were kept dragging on and on Sat urday in order to keep the girls' minds off the heavy question hanging over the head of each of them. "It wasn't until late this afternoon that I realized that within a few hours we'd know who the semi-finalists were going to be. And a few hours after that, we'd all have a new Miss America," Marty said. "Every single one of these girls could become Miss Amer ica and be a queen we a aa be proud of," she added. 'They're lovely, wonderful girls, and I wouldn't have missed being in the Miss America contest with them for anything."

Exchange Student The haiel.cyed, fair-com-plectioned Miss America of 1983 hopes for a career in the theater -and currently -is ap pearing with the Bowling Green University Playhouse summer , theater in Huron, Ohio. She was an exchange student to Austria for the 1959-60 school year. During the pageant, she roomed with one of the run- nersup, Miss Texas, Fenny Lee Rudd. She laughingly re called after being named win ner that Miss Rudd put her on a jello diet and urged her to exercise "to keep my fig ure down." When her name was first announced, Miss Mayer, nick named Jackie, was very com posed, but as she wore her new crown down the 120-foot long runway, she began cry ing. Her mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Mayer of San dusky, Ohio, were in the wings when she was selected. She was soon joined on the stage by her sister, Beverly, and her brother, Jim Coveted Tille She edged out four other beauties for the coveted title worth an estimated $79,000.

But she did not win ' in that category or in the' swimsuit judging, the only two phases of the competi tion in which winners were announced. Her selection came some what as a surprise.
