Sends Second Carrier as Fears Rise Britain By WILLIAM C. SEXTON A second British aircraft carrier left Monday for the troubled eastern Mediterranean where Iraq's action supporting Egyptian seizure of the Sues Canal roused fears that Western oil interests may be the next on the list for nationalization. Units of the United States 6th Fleet pulled out of Naples this newspaper Momento-Sera over a London dispatch "Soviet warfleet en route to Arabian ports while British ships go to Cyprus."

(AP Officers Can't Identify Body or Cause of Death Mayor Bennett S. Martin and Lincoln City Council members had new light shed on Lincoln's future role in the new interstate highway system kn a 14-hour briefing by State Engineer L. N. Ress.

The massive new tiigbwsy program written on the law books at the last session of Congress will be spread over a 13-year period. But Ress told Council members that time is of the essence, and that they should begin planning Lincoln's part in the program at the soonest possible date. Res said be hoped to be able to reveal exact locations of th 418 miles of superhighway to be buiU in Nebraska by Sept. 1. Omaha-Lincola Rout The announcement, he said, will give a precise location of the route from Omaha to Lincoln and the plana for ah access route from downtown Lincoln.

The access route from downtown Lincoln, which Ress said will be either a 4-lane or 6-lane development, is a settled part of the in terstate aystem. Ress has previously stated that the superhighway will run some where north of Lincoln, and that the access route will involve a viaduct located somewhere near but not on the site of the present No. 10th St. Viaduct. said he planned a meeting this week with members of a Kan sas City consulting firm now work ing on Nebraska plana.

Highligkta Here are some of the highlights of Ress' presentation: 1. Llacola and Omaha, the only two cities which will have parts of the interstate system inside their city limits, stand to benefit most from the system. But the program should strike a blow at inadequate transportation facilities in the state and mean new industry for Nebraska as a whole. I. Dariag the aext three years, Nebraska will have federal funds available "far in excess" of previous years.

The interstate program will be accelerated most, but other types of funds wul be increased, too. S. "I am afraid that the citizens of Lincoln and Omaha and the rest of Nebraska are not ready for a 'program of this magnitude, which means that all of us have a problem of promotion to do if Nebraska is to take fuj advantage of the federal fundi offered." The federal money for the interstate system, Ress Pointed out, will be reallocated to other states if Nebraska does not find matching funds. Lincoln's first problem, Ress said, will be to find $500,000 to match $4.5 billion in federal funds for Lincoln's access route to the superhighway. State and local units have to provide only 10 per cent of the costs of the superhighway, with the other 90 per cent coming from the federal government, r- An estimated $1 to $1 million for the new viaduct will be paid entirely by the federal government.

Kaotty Problem Ress also posed another knotty problem for City Council members to ponder. Here'a the situation as be outlined it. A total of 40,000 miles in interstate highway system was included in original federal planning, but later another 1,000 miles of highway was added, with the pri-viso that none of it could be constructed until the first 40,000 miles is complete presumably some 13 years from now. Secead Access Lincoln originally asked for two access routes to the superhighwsy, one north from 10th and 0, and the second along the proposed northeast diagonal. Only the first of these propose access routes was accepted in the 40.000 miles of planned highway.

Now, with another 1,000 miles available, Lincoln can again ask the state to apply to have the second route included. If it were accepted, the city would have to pay only $1 million out of a cost Ress estimated at $10 million. But, with that kind of a situation, Lincoln might wait 13 years to get a "good deal" financially on the diagonal. Can the development be put off that long? That's the poser for the City Council. Ress told the Council that Nebraska is, essentially, attempting "the most difficult and complex part of the superhighway program" first by making the Omaha to Lincoln portion of the route the top priority project in tht 13-year program.

This is so, he said, because the acquiring of rights-of-way and other problems are more difficult in urban areas than in open coun try. Complicated Problems The settlement of roules, acquiring of rights of way, and other problems will be long and complicated, he said, and emphasized that quick action by the City Council is desirable. good' advantage of federal funds Ed Sullivan Back on Show Despite Hurts Compiled From News Wires SEYMOUR, Conn.

Egypt Cabinet Meets Tonight CAIRO The Egyptian Cabinet la holding a special session Monday night to study Egypt's response to an invitation to the 24-nation Suez conference In London Aug. 16, a cabinet member said. Afternoon newspapers declared the broad lines of Egyptl reply Is already decided upon. The natioaal agency, the Middle East' News, issued a sharp criticism of the conference that is believed to be a reflection of President Gamal Ab-del Nasser's thinking. It called the proposed London meeting "a conference of aggression, not of peace," which cannot alter Egypt's nationalization of the Suez Canal Co.

The commonwealth had an nounced it intended to try the men at this time on only 13 of the 169 indictments returned. Defense Counsel Paul Smith sought dismissal of the other 156 asking the court: "Is this to be process of punishing them (the defendants) by trying them on only a few (indictments) at a time?" Smith made a plea for quashing indicements on the ground that news stories in the case were high ly prejudicial. Smith mentioned an FBI state ment issued at the time six of. the eight defendants were arrested. It said that an investigation by the FBI had resulted in a "solution" of the robbery.

Smith obtained permission to introduce in evidence newspaper stories published as late as Moo-day. Such statements by officials, Smith added, amounted to a "shabby form of jury fixing," so that the defendants can't possibly get a fair trial if the prospective juror reads the newspapers. Forte reminded Smith that the press has the privilege to print the record of public proceedings and so "two privileges here appear to collide." He took the matter under advisement. The defendants were not in the courtroom as the session opened. They remained heavy guard in a detention room just above the seventh floor courtroom Dozea Spectators Only about a dozji spectators had been cleared tor admittance, including the wives of two of the defendants.

A crowd of 200 300 persons milled about a second floor corridor trying to get admitted to two elevators, the only means of reaching courtroom.

Br that time, officials hope to have the plant comrleted and ready to be put on the system. Veneble said construction of the plant will cost between $17 and $18 million.

Part of the plant will be usable with the atomic reactor, he said. The whole plant, he added, is being designed so that when the reactor comes in, steam from it can be used on the turbine end of the conventional plant. "The idea is," Veneble explained, "that we've got to get some capacity before the reactor tan be constructed and proved out."
