VOLCANO ERUPTS
 CLOSE TO TOKYO
German Reports Say It Was One of Greatest in
 Many Years

London, May 11--(UP)-German dispatches from Japan reported to- day that there had been violent and possibly disastrous eruption of Asalna volcano, 85 miles northwest of Tokyo.
 The eruption started at 9 p, m, Saturday, according to the dis patches and was accompanied by earth tremors.
 Berlin said the extent of damage was not known but that it was ru- mored that the outbreak was one of the biggest in years.
 The last serious eruption of the volcano took place in 1783. It de- stroyed nearly 50 villages and killed hundreds of people. The thick layer of ashes and cinders, which was left may be seen still, after 159 years.
 Asama is one of the three largest active volcanos in Japan. It rises to 8,134 feet and its oval crater is about 1.2 miles in circumference. The weird glow by night from its unfathomable depths has thrilled many tourists.

 Post-War Prosperity
Executive Manager of National Credit Men Advises

rifce takes the form of heavier tax bills, restricted use Of peacetiEne goods, savings programs or physical effort.
 "But the burden must be placed as equitably as possible or, in the end, it will throw our economic machinery out of adjustment and disrupt our forces of production.
 Tn the matter of self-denial and lInselfshnesa, let Us be honest in our conduct. 'Tlle rationing program now in effect would in annay in- stances be less severe if hoarding and selfishness had not been the order of the day. A rush to escape the common sacrifice is a definite contribution to the cause of dicta- torship.
 we in the credit fraternity have very definite and important part to play in trying to bring stability to these programs. We have the courage to play our part.
 "If we see that credit Is to be re- stricted in open. accounts, we can only object in case. we see that the restrictions will not accomplish the objective, namely, curtailment of purchasing so that more goods will be available for the war effort and more than power devoted to arma- ments.
 we cannot in this period argue about -dtctStofial fane-points be- cause, facing dictators on the field of battle, our democratic way must be flexible enough to permit, for a limited period of time, the use of sterner policies and practices. And if we join in these efforts and ac- cept these hardshipS, then we have the right. to demand a return to the peaceful way of life we have known"
