Woody Tribune Business Editor Recovery in the wind? Kennecotts losses fell sharply in the second quarter and the first half of the year, its parent Standard Oil Co. (Ohio), said Thursday. And Kennecott announced it will resume metal mining and concentrating operations at the Ray Mines Division, Hayden, shut down since May of last year. Marketplace indications are positive.

We believe the current economic recovery will be reflected in increased copper consumption, said G. F. Joklik, president of the Salt Lake City-based Kennecott. Sohio reported mining losses in the second quarter had been cut a whopping 37 million from $46 million in the year-ago quarter to $9 million in 1982s second quarter. The six-month loss, at $40 million, was less than of the $98 million lost in 1982s first half.

It credited cost-cutting measures and improved copper, gold and silver prices. Copper counts by far the most in its mining activities. With start up, Ray will have 750 hourly and salaried Workers on the job by late August. A force of 175 has been maintaining the property since shutdown. Ray Division's electrowinning plant will stay shut.

The divisions 25,000 tons monthly of concentrate will be sold to Asarco. Under the modified startup, Kennecott was able to resume operations earlier at Ray than anticipated, Mr. Joklik said. Another big factor In earlier strart up, he said, were those improved work rules and manning fle.ibllity worked out in new labor contracts this spring. The Chino Mines division at Hurley, N.M., owned jointly by Kennecott and Mitsubishi of Japan, also shut down last May but resumed limited operations in September.

It employs more than 1,000. The Salt Lake City-based Utah Copper Division, crown jewel of Kennecott, employs 5,000, down from more than 7,000 two years ago. Sohio reported second quarter net income of $476 million, basically unchanged from the $473 million earned in the 1982 quarter. Net income for the half was $753 million compared with $928 million. Six-month results include an estimated after-tax $75 million charge against Income as result of dropping its abrasive manufacturing operations.

Net income, too, was cut by $65 million through redetermination of participating interests in the Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, oil field, where Sohio is one of three principal operators.

(UPI) -An offer has been made to buy the Springfield Television Corp.s three television stations, one of which is in Salt Lake City, the company announced Thursday.

Church to Buy Radio Station U.S. Dollar Soars to New High Levels NEW YORK (UPI) The dollar soared to new high levels in Europe by political and economic tensions and in New York, by Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volckers latest warning about interest rates. Gold and silver were little changed. Tension in central America and no sign of a let up in the Gulf war have contributed to the dollars latest rise, a Paris foreign exchange trader said. There is also a general expectation that the federal funds (overnight bank lending) rate will rise to 10 percent.

Market fears of higher interest rates were exacerbated Thursday afternoon when Volcker warned a Senate committee that emerging private credit demands are beginning to clash with the continuing heavy financing needs of the government. Volcker said higher monetary growth targets by the Fed would not be an appropriate response in view of the potential for greater inflation and ultimately higher interest rates, and he said more progress in reducing the deficit would reduce the risk of aborting the recovery through higher rates. The dollar, already at high levels in Europe, jumped sharply in late New York trading after Volekers remarks soaring through the 2.64-German mark level. Scott Pardee, executive vice president at Discount Corp. of New York, said high U.S.

interest rates have clearly contributed to the dollars strength, but the dollar has risen even during periods of declining rates. Capital flows out of other countries, and other currencies, have been the force keeping the dollar up and pushing it higher, Pardee said. There are many reasons for the inflow of funds political, economic, psychological but it has been huge. With market participants facing so many uncertainties, Pardee looks for volatility that has characterized recent trading to continue, particularly in view of the huge U.S. deficit.

In London, the pound eased to $1.5250 from $1.5280 Wednesday. In New York if fell to $1.5250 Gold, which has traded within an $8 range for three weeks was almost unchanged. It closed $1 lower in Zurich at $425.50 and 37.5 cents lower in London at $425,375. SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) The King Broadcasting owner of San Francisco radio station KYA, has reached an agreement to sell KYA to Bonneville International a Salt Lake City firm owned by the Mormon Church. The agreement announced Wednesday is part of a series of transactions that began in June when King Broadcasting, headquartered in Seattle, reached agreement to purchase station KSFO from Golden West Broadcasting Co.

Jim Kime of King Broadcasting did not reveal terms of the transaction with Bonneville. By Steven P. Rosenfeld Associated Press Writer NEW YORK A broad stock market retreat extended into a second straight session Thursday as interest rates rose, prompting traders to sell shares to cash In on a recent rally. Stocks falling in price outnumbered rising issues by more than 3 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, with transportation and technology issues among the big losers. The Dow Jones average of 30 industrials dropped 14.12 points to 1,216.35, bringing its losses for the past two days to 27.34 points.

The blue-chip average had flirted with record heights and briefly topped the 1,250 mark Wednesday before reversing course and snapping a six-day rally. But it was not a runaway selloff. Big Board volume fell to 78.41 million shares from 99.29 million Wednesday. Nationwide turnover in NYSE-listed issues, including trades in those stocks on regional exchanges and in the over-the-counter market, totaled 92.63 million shares. Analysts said selling pressure began building Wednesday when early gains in the Dow Jones industrials failed to carry the entire market higher.

When the Dow tried to make a new high and the internal market didn't help, people started to dump stock, said William Raftery, a technical analyst at Smith Barney, Harris Upham Co. Inc. There are some huge profits out there to be taken. After a mixed opening Thursday, technology stocks renewed the sharp declines suffered Wednesday, when concern grew that increased competition in the home computer business would widen already growing losses in the industry. Texas Instruments, which announced another top-level resignation, fell 7 to 108Va; Paradyne, in a contract dispute with the government, dropped 2 to 16V; International Business Machines slipped 1H to 122; Digital Equipment fell to 102 Coleco Industries shed lVi to 33; and Commodore International slid 2 to 45V4.

Another unsettling influence was a rise in interest rates in advance of another record round of U.S. Treasury borrowing scheduled for next week. Short-term rates rose more than a tenth of a percentage point. Longterm bond prices, which move in the opposite direction as interest rates, fell more than $10 for each $1,000 in face value. Analysts attributed the bond market setback to investors response to congressional testimony by Paul Volcker, chairman of the Federal Reserve Board.

Volcker repeated earlier warnings that with the economy growing, private demand for credit is beginning to collide with the governments huge borrowing needs, something that keeps interest rates high. Prospects for lower interest rates and a sustained recovery would be improved if the deficits qre reduced, he said. Standard Poor's index of 400 industrials fell 2.91 to 186.14. and 500-stock composite index was off 2.55 at 165.04. The NYSEs composite index fell 1.43 to 95.71.

At the American Stock Exchange, the market value index was off 3.51 at 240.85.The NASDAQ composite index for the over-the-counter market closed at 308.47. down 6.57. Iacocca Predicts Japan Action WASHINGTON (UPI) Chrysler Corp. Chairman Lee Iacocca predicted Thursday that Japan will order a fourth year of limits on auto exports to America. It's my guess, my optimistic, hopeful guess, Iacocca said after testifying before a House Judiciary subcommittee that is gathering in formation on internationalization of the auto industry.

Japans international trade minister said June 30 the government would allow a three-year agreement to expire in March 1984. Under the agreement, Japanese automakers, who hold 22 percent of the U.S. market, are limited to exporting 1.68 million cars a year.
