A survey of all retail liquor places in the city is being made by local deputies of the internal revenue bureau, acting under or- ders from Dr Edward Dolan. The local activity is part of a state- wide checkup on permits and liquor tax stamps.
 It is understood that every es- tablishment in the city dispensing alcoholic beverages will be visited during the drive. Taverns, restau- rants and package stores will all be inspected to see that they are conforming to federal laws in re- gard to licensing and taxes.
 The inspection tour was begun this week and will continue until all liquor dispensaries in Waterbury have been checked. Some local establishments, 1t is reported, have not compiled with the regulations in regard to the strip stamp tax on bottles. This rule, in Connec- ticut, applies only to package stores and drug stores, since they are the only firms which can handle liquors stronger than wine or beer.

Council for Peace Campaign Meets Opposition Her
Color Confuses Stamp Buyers

A little thing like Q change of color caused no end or confusion in the post office this morning.
 The Maryland tercentary stamps, which are red and consequently Q bit similar 3o the regular tw0-cent stamp, were on sale at tho stamp windows. It took patrons q while to realize that they weren't being cheated when the clerks gave them red stamps when they asked for those of a three-cent denoH1- ination.
 The post office would like the public to know that the Maryland tcrcentary stamps are of a three-cent denOmiIl- iation despite the fact that they're red instead of pur. ple. No one wOnld say, how ever, whether that made red worth 6 cent more than purple.

POSSIBLE CLUE
 TO WIRT CHARGE
Head of Crusaders May, Have Been Cause of
 Plot FiasCO

New York, March 2S-(UP)--A possible clue to the origin of Dr William A. Wirt's sensational com- munist charges against the admin istration brain trust was reported today by Prof Raymond A. Moley. former assistant secretary of state and once an outstanding figure in the so-called trust.
 The fact that Dr Wirt was In Warm Springs. Ga, coincident with the visit of George A. Christians, head of the Crusaders for Econ- omic Liberty, was recalled by Mo- ley in 8 copyrighted interview in the New York World Telegram. Christians was agitating for mon- etary reform.
 Moley, said that Christians told MT Roosevelt-who was then pres ident elect--that he was merely "the Kerensky of the revolution" The scene was the veranda of the Roosevelt house at Warm brings, three weeks after the 1892 elec- ton. Christians home is in Chatta- nooga, Tenn.
 Dr Wirt was not present during the interview but he later mingled with the other visitors at the hotel. which was the center of gossip about governmental affairs at the time.

Legionnaires Seek Signatures Of Anti
 League Supporters
Sentiment Here for U S. Participation in League of Nations Aronsed-COyle Post Executive Committee
 May Table Matter-Many Vets Signed Circular

It has Jbeen claimed by the ad- vocates of the petition of opposi- ton that the American Legion in its national convention endorsed the movement and urged all posts to cooperate in obtaining express sions of public sentiment.
 Wording Impressed Vets
 For the time being, however, the task of recruiting supporters in Waterbury will be held in abey' ance. It is well known that many ex-service men impressed with the wording of the petition circulated by the Peace Council signed 1t. As :. matter of fact it is claimed that their signatures were given only in expression of the belief that some statement should be given out from leaders in Washington out lining the conditions under which the United States would enter into a compact.
 Two weeks ago the local Peace council held meeting and elected former Governor Charles A. Tenn pleton, president; Fred A. Jackie, vice president; Frederic C.. Smed- icy, recording secretary and treas- urcr. The executive board includes Terence F. Carmody, Frederick s. Chase, John A. Coe, Edward H. Davis. Mrs Joseph J. Davis, John F. Elton, Rev Moses H. Lowell, Mrs Frank r. McEvoy and Walter Tor rance.
 More Signers Expected
 Hundreds have signed the peti- ton and it is expected that many others will yield to the persuasion of the peace council representa- tives and add their signatures.
 From all indications Waterbury will be divided shortly into League of Nations advocates and oppon- ents of the league.

SAHARA DESERT
 WASPOPULATED
 MANY YEARS AGO
Lost Traces of Civilized Life Found By French
 Scientists

Algiers, Algeria, March 28 (UP) - Traces of lost civiliza- ton dating back thousands o1 years to an era when the vast Sa- hara Desert was populated were reported today by g. French arch geological expedition.
 The expedition, headed by Pro- fessors Gauthier and Reygasse, reached Blinda, outside Algiers after exploring the heart of the Sahara.
 They reported <the indications were that the desert was once pop ulated by men and animals. Later it lost it's vegetation and was bur- jed under the trackless sands.
 The scientists reported that in- scriptions and other evidence were found dating back almost to the stone age, and ante-dating the Egyptians.
 One treasure found was a pre- historic account of a horse race between eight chariots. resembling the chariots of the Garamontes, a later people described by Herodo- tus as once having held sway in Northern Africa.
 The explorers found carved and painted stones, picturing giraffes, ostriches. elephants, rhinoceroses and soldiers bearing lances.
 The report will be sent to the French Academy of Sciences and inscriptions.
 ''To the period of the Garaman- tes," says the Encyclopaedia Bri- tannica, "Dpveyrier assigns the remains of remarkable hydraulic works and certain tombs and rock sculptures - indications, it is held. of 8 negro civilization of ancient date which once existed in the Northern Sahara.
 "The Garamantes, whether of Libyan or negro origin, had cer- tainly considerable degree of civilization when in the year 19 B. c. they were conquered by the Proconsul l.. Cornelius Balbus Minor and their country added to the Roman Empire"

State officials regarding possible de-

and reformatory for women serving
Missouri, Illinois and Indiana, and
possibly Kansas and Nebraska, were
recommended Yesterday by Burdette

in a report to the Bipartisan State
Advisory Board.
Lewis suggested the institution might
be located on Federal property in one
Of the States mentioned, or on "one
Of the numerous islands in the Mis-
sissippi River which are fertile and
could be developed into a beautiful
estate" Location of such an institu-
ton on an island would eliminate
necessity for close confinement and
the expense of stone walls or fences,

Establishment of a regional prison
is possible, Lewis pointed out, under
a law signed last June by President
Roosevelt, which gives the consent of
Congress in advance to States that
want to enforce their criminal laws
