(Story on page 2) (News-were taken to Magruder hospital Herald photo) nark to close ocal boat plant bitterness over American trade restrictions, Foreign Minister Masayoshi Ohira today called on the United States to "exercise an increasing degree of discipline in managing its own economy." Ohira told the opening session of the ninth U.S.Japan Joint Cabinet Meeting on Trade and Economic Affairs that Japan is greatly embarrassed by American attempts to limit the exports of logs, scrap iron and soybeans. He said it was of "imperative importance" to maintain the smooth flow of these and other products. And he urged the United States "to continue its efforts to maintain a stable supply to Japan." He also criticized American "clamors for import restrictions, imposition of surcharges or exercise of export restraint." Ohira said Japan regrets controls "which seek short term solutions at the border." He said, "In view of the predominant role and responsibility of the United States in the world economy, it is our strong wish that the United States would cope with and find solutions to these questions on the basis of a long-term perspective." Rogers endorsed Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka's proposal for a general Asian-Pacific peace conference and listed several ways in which such major oil-consuming nations as Japan and the United States should cooperate.

This call for cooperation appeared to be a substitute for Henry A. Kissinger's proposal last May for a consortium of oil-buying nations, a proposal Japan has been hesitant about for fear of alienating its Arab oil suppliers. Rogers recommended oil sharing arrangements when critical shortages develop, sharing of information on negotiations with the producing nations; Japanese-American cooperation in developing Siberian oil and joint research and development projects. Ohira agreed that the two countries should cooperate to resolve the energy crisis. l'roduction resumes ul Hepis paper plant Indictments returned A Sandusky man received most of the attention of the Ottawa County i Grand Jury Friday.

Legion convention lobe be Id in Toledo TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) For the first time in 33 years, the American Legion of Ohio convention will be held here July 20-22. Past national American Legion Chaplain, the Rev, Fr.

Paul J. Schwaab of Ponca, will speak to a joint ses-jion of the Legion and its Aux-liary. Nearly 12,000 are expected. Named chairman COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -Paul A. Unger, a Cleveland businessman, was named by Gov.

John Gilligan Thursday as chairman of the Governor's Advisory Council on International Trade. He said the negotiations for the new site are "in the last stages." He said company executives are "going over the details right now." Jadeski said Snark Products could have the production facilities moved to the new site by the end of this year if the negotiations are completed. The local business employs about 160 persons, many of them women. "We'll lose a lot of good'people," he commented. "We'll take what we can from here." About 50,000 small boats were reportedly produced in the local plant in 1972.

Since the company was formed about 13 years ago it has jumped into the lead as the world's largest sailboat manufacturer. The company's growth has reportedly been phenomenal with company literature claiming a 45 per cent increase in the sales volume in the one year from 1971 to 1972. The Port Clinton plant is the only Snark Products manufacturing facility in the United States, although the company has plants in Japan, Spain and a new one in Germany. This area's most prolific sailboat manufacturer, Snark Products is planning to move from its Erie Industrial Park location sometime later this year or early next year and relocate in a new facility in Virginia Beach, the News-Herald learned today. Snark Plant Manager Edward Jadeski said the move is being caused by the increasing popularity of the company's small sailboats and the resulting growth in the local manufacturing business.

"We've simply outgrown it," Jadeski said of the local site. Snark Products came to the Port Clinton area in 1969 and initially occupied a single building at its present location. Since then, the company has expanded to three adjoining buildings, two of them used as warehouses. Jadeski said there isn't much more room for expansion near the present facility. The new building which is being considered at Virginia Beach is to have the entire boat-making operation under one roof and should provide good room for expansion, the local plant manager explained.
