OAKLAND, Cal, Dec 28.--A new man hunt, by the authori- ties, with the alleged kidnapper of 11-year-old Evelyn Smith, as the quarry, spurred activity here today before the California pub lie had relaxed after the excite ment of the kidnapping and mur- der of Marian Parker.

Great Eruption of
 Vesuuills Forecast
 By Japanese Experi
-.,--s-. x ss.s.ss.ss.sserssssessess 2 es....sz

TOKYO. Dec. 2S-An enormous and possibly disastrous eruption of the Italian volcano Vesuvius is forecast by Dr. Akitune lma- mura, as the next threatening gesture of the forces imprisoned within the earth. Dr. Imamura is known as the leading seismologist of the Far East and is called by some scientists the greatest ip the world.
 Dr. Imamura's views were set forth on his recent return from the conference of the Interna- tional Union of Geodesy and Geo physics at Prague. He said that Japan is not expected to experI- ence great earthquake disas- ter. similar to that of 1923, for at least another century.
 The seismologists dire predic- tion for Vesuvius is based on his personal observations of this vol cano for many years. Since the explosion of the crater in 1906. the lava has been creeping slowly upward toward the rim until now, according to the earthquake ex- pert, it is at it's 1905 level. Dr. Imamura viewed the volcano last month and. shortly thereafter, is sued a warning of the forthcom- ing eruption. But he qualities his assertion with the statement that Eve cannot always be right in predicting the eccentricities of nature
 So far as earthquakes and Japan are concerned. Dr. Imamura told the Associated Press that, while no great national earth quake is likely for at least hun dred years, there can be no pre- diction regarding local earth shocks of such strength that con siderable damage might result These concentrated shocks are possible any time and either Yokohama, Tokyo. Osaka. Niigo- ta and other certain localities on the main island can be described as susceptible. While people may be killed and injuredA and proper ty damaged, by these local quakes. the seismologist does not believe anything approaching a real dis aster is probable
 That 1t will not be long before seismologists all over the world will be able to accurately predict the time and locality of big earthquakes is the belief of Dr. Imamura. Before any large earth quake, he says. noticeable strain of the earth crust is likely to take place. This was observed
