Reeves Terms Strike 'Mocking' WASHINGTON, April 2 (AP) —Rep. Reeves (R.-Mo.) told the house today that “the record fails to show” that John L. Lewis acted at any time “to safeguard the men whose loss he now officially mourns.” Further, Reeves said the period of mourning decreed by the United Mine workers chief for the dead in the Centralia, 111., mine dis aster is “a thinly veiled and mock ing strike.” Aides said Lewis would make no reply to Reeves. Lewis is scheduled to testify tomorrow be fore a house committee concern ing the Centrqjia, 111., mine dis aster and the Six-day mourning period now in effect in soft coal towns. Reeves told the house that Lewis had in his possession since last November oa report of Federal Inspector Frank Perz, recom mending several reforms at the Centralia mine.

Consumer Prices Expected to Hold WASHINGTON, April 2—(AP) Consumers can expect food prices to hold near present levels during the next few months, largely be cause of their own demands, the ag riculture department said today. Prices also will continue to get some support, the agency said, from export buying and market specula tion in some commodities, particu larly grains. With industrial production at a peacetime record level, consumers as a group have sufficient buying power, officials said, to purchase, quality food at rates considerably above0 pre-war levels. Nevertheless, the department ex pects food prices to decline during* the latter part of the year. It has said farm prices may drop as much as 20 per cent if its forecast of°a business recession late this year is borne out.
