The assessment and prediction came from John W.Carter of Danville, chairman of the Virginia Conservative Council. Carter said the chances that the Republicans next week will nominate a candidate acceptable to him and his group "are about as likely as a foot of snow in Richmond on July 4th." If not, the conservatives will meet in late June or July, he said, to nominate candidates for VITA- VAR PAINT SALE Here's your chance to save $1.00 on a Gallon of VITA-VAR BEAUTY-TONE LATEX WALL FINISH Reg. $5.95 gal.

Mills E.Godwin the Democratic nominee for governor.

He said he thinks little more politically of Linwood Holton, the Roanoke lawyer seeking the Republcan nomination for governor. As to the identity of the potential candidates, Carter said he wasn't ready to talk on that subject. By profession, he would identify them only as an educator and an industrialist. He said council leaders still haven't fully analyzed the current conservatism of Atty. Gen.

Some 200 paintings and pieces of sculpture produced by German artists are stored in warehouse 66 at Richmond's De- 'ence General Supply Center. They are part of about 9,000 nieces of art that fell into the tiands of advancing American armies at the end of World War II. Most of the works confiscated --landscapes, portraits and still life--have either been returned to West Germany or are on display at military installations in the United States. "The paintings that are kept in Richmond are what we call and sculptures of Hitler and hard-core propaganda pictures and sculptures of Hitler and Mussolini, extremely militaristic scenes and those emblazoned with swastikas," said a spokesman in the Office of the Chief of Military History in Washington. Although 20 years have passed since the end of the war, the office still doesn't know how to dispose of the collection.

Its return to Germany is ruled out because of possible political reper- cussions abroad. The warehouse also holds several huge Japanese paintings--they look like bundled-up if anything are more militaristic than the German works." The nucleus of Hitler's Art factory was formed in 1937, two years before the war began. While touring sn art exhibition Hitler became infuriated and denounced the modern paintings as degenerate.

RICHMOND (AP)--The Washington Old Dominion Railroad is Lilliputian as railroads go- only a single track 47 miles long, frequently blocked by strolling children and wandering livestock. But attempts to abandon the line have brought wails of protest from Northern Virginia industrialists, who have depicted the WOD as a primary artery to the lifeblood of their operations. This was the note on which a three day hearing ended Wednesday before the State Corporation Commission, which is considering a company proposal to end an operation which offi- cials claim has been running in the red the past five years. This week's hearing represented phase two of a three-part series before the SCC hands down its decision. Railroad witnesses were heard in March and opposition witnesses will be cross-examined May 20.

Two spokesmen for the opposition told the SCC Wednesday their businesses would suffer greatly, in fact might even fold, if the Washington Old Dominion was permitted to cease operations. While the SCC was in session Wednesday, a delegation of Loudoun and Fairfax residents led by State Sen. Harry F. Byrd Jr. of Winchester personally protested the proposed abandonment of the WOD to Gov.

Harrison. Byrd said the governor was asked fo call a public hearing should the abandonment request be granted, adding, "which we do not anticipate." At the March hearing, railroad spokesmen dscribed the WOD as an unprofitable, over- aged operation beset by financial and physical problems too great to overcome feasibly.
