With Russia

DONDON, Jan. 22 -(AP)-Brih ain has asked Russia. to help her meet an estimated 600.000-ton shortage in grains this year. of- ficial sources reported tonight.

The Soviet shaven't said yes or

no and negotiations are going on informally. it was stated. Britain's shortage of wheat, barley, oats and corn came about becuse Russia slashed supplies from a yearly average of i,000.000 tons to 200,000 tons last October. The coarse grains are needed here for the country's bread and to feed its animals and livestock.

In any agreement Russia is ex- pected to keep the right-as it has done in the past-to halt grain shipments to Britain if Common- wealth rubber suppiies are denie to her.

Rosin wrote this reservation in- to past contracts with Britain be- cause the West's embargo on the export of strategic goods to Com- munist countries obviously had worried the Soviets. Under United states pressure. Britain in 1031 stopped rubber sales to Commun- ist China. Supplies to Russia were limited to her normal. peacetime consumption-about 7,000 tons monthly.
