 She brings the suit, trial of which is expected to continue throughout then day, against Isadore L. Win ters of West Haven, who is now in possession of MT. Jorrocks."
 Mrs. Anderson said her family has had the horse IT years, and that 1t was recently given to her by her father. She place 1t in care of MT. Beck, paying him $20 monthly and specifying that he would re- ceive any profit he made by enter ing the horse in shows, she said. She admitted that her name con- tinued to be used when the horse was listed.
 MT. Winters claimed from the witt ness stand that the board and care he has given the horse the past eight months is worth $2,400, and demanded that sum from the plain tiff. He claimed he had bought the horse from the Middlebury stable owner.
 The plaintiffs father said he val- ued the horse at $250, while others who testified varied the figure up tot $500. The plaintiff asks the court to order the horse returned to her and to award damages of $500 for the horses detention.
 A magazine in which the horse was described was entered as a court exhibit, and 1t was indicated other material would be introduced later in the trial.
 The horse was placed in the Mid. dlebury stable Jan. l, 1943 and placed in the possession of the West Haven resident the following May 1, 1t is alleged. The plaintiff did not learn of the horses removal until July IS, 1943, and made her first demand for it the following month, the complaint states.

Mines Return
 Owners
By RAYMOND LAIR nited Press Stan COFresnondenkl

NChubeu EKc8B St8u C0fTcSp0n0enGl
 Washington, June CUP)-A majority of the nations bituminous coal mines resumed operation under private management today with the owners and labor charged with the responsibility of meeting record production goals.
 Coal Administrator Harold L. 1ckes released the mines after a Seven-month period of government control while final settlement was being negotiated to end a prolonged dispute between owners and the United Mine Workers.
 The return of anthracite and the remaining soft coal mines was ex- pected to follow soon.
 Those already released included most of the bituminous mines cov- cred by the wage contract recently approved by the War Labor Board. Control was retained over a few of the mines covered by that agree ment, which was written for north- ern and western coal fields which produced B per cent of the nations production last year.
 Southern Appalachian operators who had rejected the contract have indicated willingness to meet the wage provisions but have asked safeguard to prevent dismissal of pending litigation over whether un- derground travel time is work time under the wage-hour law.
 A UNIV spokesman expressed con- fidence that at last 90 per cent of the southern operators would be ready next Monday to sign contracts containing a minor revision pro- posed by the union to protect the law suit.
 Anthracite mines will be released when the anthracite wage contract is ratified by a special convention to be called by the UNIV.
