OREGON TIMBUCKTOO MODERN UNDER FRENCH REGIME Paris, (LP) Since the French took over control of Timbucktoo, once upon a time regarded as more re- mote even than the v;llds of Tibet, the town has flourished and expand ed until today It Is no longer a jun- p)e laslcne.ss, but the Paris of West Africa. There are only a few white In habitants, but. as with Frenchmen hen they go abroad, they have their cafe with its terrace on the main boulevard, there Is a modem hotel and even the native women lollow the Paris styles. In the old days, when the natives lived In the shadow of tribal super stitions, each bore a "totem" name, but now the dusky folk are more modern and call themselves Briand. Poincare. Shell,- Gillette and other names which they have picked up from the newspapers that corne from Paris on the weekly air-mail. The mail is brought to the coast by air then conveyed up the Nijjcr to Timbucktoo. Contrary to popular belief Tim bucktoo Is not on the banks of the Niner. It is seven miles away, sur rounded by desert sands and is, In fact, the last outpost of the Sahara Desert. In addition to coal-black Sudanese, its population consists of the veiled Touaregs, Bedouins and other Moors. The town has not the rich commercial development of nearby DJenne, whose famous Mos que will be copied at the Paris Col onial Exjilion in May. Although it has made progress In many ways. Timbucktoo is still mahout gas or electricity. All light ing Is by oil lamps which creates a charming atmosphere when the lights shine out on the desert from the mud-walled native houses.

RAILWAY Altoona, Pa., tlK The historic Logan House, where governors of the northern states met In confer ence in 1662 to formulate plana for maintenance of the union, la being demolished to make room for a more modern structure. The hotel, where Presidents Grant. Hayes, Taft and Wilson were guests at different times and where the family of Abraham Lin coln spent several vacations, was erected In 1853 by the Pennsylvania railroad as a summer resort. It was completed the same year as the enterprising operators of the railroad pushed their lines through the wilderness westward to Pitts bursh. At the time of Its erection It was far out of proportion to the size of the wilderness village In which it stood. As Altoona expanded, the spacious and well-appointed facil ities of the hostelry found more ample use. In 1872 fire destroyed several w Iiiks of the structure but the dam aged section was restored. Through the years, It became the gathering place of state and na tional leaders who held Important conferences at which public policies of grave Import were discussed and formulated. The most famous of these was the governors' conference of 1862 which had a very Important part in deciding the northern course of the Civil war.

Foes of President Gerardo Macna do have sought to unseat him and while he has kept his large but dis organized opposition at bay, scarce ly a week passes but that some move by his enemies gives him cause for worry. Economic troubles, due to the su gar slump, have added to his dif ficulties.

The latest plot against Machado, however, involved some of ths soldiers-. A private on guard on the roof of the presidential palace low ered a bomb through a ventilator with the intention of exploding it in the presidential bath room. It failed, however, to reach its mark. Tiie opposition is centered in the Nationalist Union, a political orpa- nizarion heackd by two former pres ident.1;, Menocal and Zayas. It reached menacing strength last fall, just before the November con gressional elections, and threatened to postpone the balloting until it could get recognition as an official party. A month before the ballots were to be cast, congress gave Machado power to suspend the constitutional articles which tuarantce freedom , of speech and assembly and invJol-l ability nf th- home.

The guarantees were, however, suspended on November 13, when there was a student outbreak in which several were killed. Troops stopped that disorder, and congress then authorized extension of the emergency powers of the president for another 60 days. On November 25 the cabinet tried to quit, but Machado refused to ac cept the resignations. Three das later secret service police thwarted an attempt to seize the national arsenal. On Christmas Eve another major plot was squelched. Student difficulties caused all higher schools in the islands to be closed, and Machado next suppress ed every newspaper of importance in the country. Some of the editors were deported. As the 60 days suspension of guarantees was about to expire, con gress authorized the president to continue the measure indefinitely, and he put this into efftet on Feb ruary 7.
