Africa LONDON (AP) Swarms of locusts from Ethiopia could bring famine to Egypt and Sudan by summer, Britain's Antil-ocust Research Center warned Sunday. Scientists said the swarms in Ethiopia already are big enough to cause a "significant crop loss" in East Africa and south erly winds could spread the plague to North Africa.

Ethiopia's locust swarms extend over 400 square miles, and efforts to contain them with aer ial insecticide spraying are hampered by mountainous coun tryside. The Desert Locust Con trol Organization, an interna tional unit backed by East African countries, is flying round-the-clock sorties against the pest. Experts blame the crisis on unusually heavy rain which has provided an ideal breeding ground.
