TV pictures that sparked aid for Ethiopia air tonight in US

The television pictures of the Ethiopian famine which shocked the world into action will get their first comprehensive airing on American television tonight on ''Cry, Ethiopia, Cry,'' on the PBS series ''Frontline,'' 9-10 p.m. The program will show excerpts from ''Seeds of Despair,'' a British Central ITV documentary that aired in Britain during the summer and caused an international outcry that resulted in airlifts of food to starving Ethiopians.
