John Brunton, general manager of the plant, said construction will start by the end of February with completion expected by June. The plant, located at U.S. 35 and the Appalachian Highway in Jackson, began production Aug. 1 and currently employs 65. The new building will be constructed next to the parking lot and will enclose 30,000 square feet.

Brunton said 60 people will be employed in the new line which will assemble frames for kitchen cabinets. The frames are currently cut at the Jackson plant and sent to the home plant in Adrian, Mich, for assembly and finishing. The expansion will be financed by the sale of industrial revenue bonds. All personnel at the plant are salaried there are no time clocks, according to Brunton. He said employes are given bonuses based on man hours and board feet of lumber shipped.

Brunton said the productivity incentive plan adds 50 cents to $1 an hour extra to employe takehome pay. Brunton said the plant hires 75 percent unskilled labor and pays wages in the upper 25 percent of the area. The current plant encloses 104,000 square feet and is heated with the scrap products of production at the plant. 4 i Harold J.

Priced Considerably Below Original Equipment Steel Belted Radial Tires Compiled by Gannett News Service Park testimony SEOUL, South Korea The attorney for Korean businessman Tongsun Park said Sunday that Park might be willing to appear before a joint meeting of the House and Senate ethics committees to answer all their questions.

Attorney William G. Hundley said such a congressional hearing would have to be conducted in closed session in Washington to avoid prejudicing the rights of defendants in the Korean influence-buying case. Hundley said he would recommend this proposal to Park, and "I think he'll go along with my recommendation." A team of Justice Department prosecutors that arrived in Seoul Sunday is to begin questioning Park sometime in midweek concerning thousands of dollars he allegedly paid to past or present members of Congress in recent years. 'Undivided' city WASHINGTON National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski said Sunday that a Middle East settlment should include arrangements for an "undivided" Jerusalem, a city that has been the emotional focal point of Arab-Israeli tensions. "A city undivided means a city not partitioned, not partitioned physically, but a city in which, perhaps, arrangements can be contrived that are responsive to the religious and political sensitivities of the parties concerned," Brzezinski said in a television interview.

Both the Arabs and Israelis make religious and political claims to Jerusalem, all of which fell into Israeli hands in the 1967 fighting in the Middle East. Israel adds element TEL AVIV, Israel If Egyptian President Anwar Sadat keeps insisting the Israelis have to withdraw their existing Jewish settlements in the Sinai Peninsula, Israel will abandon its offer to return all the occupied territory there. Prime Minister Menahem Begin said Sunday. The Israeli Cabinet clarified its policy in the Sinai by saying it would "strengthen" existing settlements but not build any new ones. All this was believed to be shuffling of bargaining chips before the next round of Israeli-Egyptian ministerial talks begins in one week.

Israel apparently will demand that the existing settlements become enclaves in Egyptian territory. Sadat, returning to Egypt from talks with Sudanese President Jaafar el-Numairi, said he hadn't made up his mind about an Israeli plan for an Israeli-Jordanian-Palestinian committee to administer the occupied West Bank of the Jordan River and Gaza Strip until residents decide their own status in a referendum. U.S. oil imports WASHINGTON Saudi Arabia, France and Iran are concerned about the large imports of oil imported by the United States because the trade deficit is damaging the U.S. dollar, President Carter said Sunday.

Argentine warships BUENOS AIRES A long dispute witn Chile about who owns three small islands at the tip of South America resulted in the dispatch of Argentine warships to the area.
