He photographed civil war in Jordan, hunger in Biafra and children fleeing shells at a South Vietnamese school. Weapons treaty discussed Many of the non-nuclear nations of the world are expected to sound off against the United States, the Soviet Union and India during a 50-nation conference starting today to review the first five years of the treaty banning the spread of atomic weapons. The United States and Russia were leading sponsors of the treaty, but they are also under fire from many neutral and developing countries who charge that the arms race of the two superpowers is the main nuclear danger in the worfd. The pact bars all member countries except its initiators, the United States, Soviet Union and Britain, from acquiring atomic weapons and binds the three cosponsors from turning them over to others. In exchange for their weapons monopoly, the nuclear powers pledged to help the treaty's junior partners with technology for the peaceful .uses of atomic power under international safeguards. Jerusalem apartment bombed Several paint cans filled with gunpowder exploded in an apartment building in Jerusalem Sunday, wounding four Israelis, police said. In Beirut, a group called the Palestine Popular Struggle Front claimed responsibility for the bombing which it said killed and wounded several persons. A police spokesman said 30 suspects had been detained. An eyewitness said one woman threw her two children out of her second floor window, believing terrorists had attacked the building. Neither of the children was hurt. Suez Canal opening planned The Suez Canal, closed to international shipping for eight years, comes to life this week in preparation for its formal reopening in a month. Fourteen foreign freighters stranded in the 103-mile long waterway since the 1967 Arab-Israeli war will be towed out two or three at a time starting Wednesday. Workers from the Suez Canal Authority plan to have the canal clear and its navigation aids repaired and working in time for the first convoy scheduled to enter at noon June 5.
