| Summary: | Food Rushed To Starving Eskimos. FOOD RUSHED TO STARVING ESKIMOS BARROW, Alaska, Aug. 11. (/P)— Small launches were ready here today to rush emergency supplies eastward along the Arctic rim to starving Eskimos, numbered at 500 or more, but a delay must ensue before supplies to carry them through the coming months arrive. The cutter Northland, with limited supplies aboard, was due today at Wainwright, 80 miles southwest of here, on a rush trip here from Nome on orders from Washington. Barring bad ice conditions, the trip here would take only a few hours. "The northland, however, will have only limited supplies aboard," Frank Daugherty, government reindeer superintendent, said.
