Demos, GOP Divided On Help To Farmers By UNITED PRESS Republicans and Democrats split sharply today over how to help the financially - squeezed farmer. Democrats called the adminis tration farm bill partisan, in adequate and unworkable. The blast came as the Senate Agri culture Committee continued hearings on farm legislation. . Sen. George D. Aiken (R.-Vt.) and five of the six other Repub licans on the Agriculture Com mittee introduced the adminis tration bill Tuesday. Its main feature is a voluntary "soil bank plan under which farmers would be paid to take acreage out of production. Some Demo crats have favored a mandatory "soil bank." Committee Chairman Allen J. Ellender (D-La.) renewed his call for the writing of a "bi partisan, non-political" farm bill.

Blue Ribbon Bouts presents Sandy Saddler vs. Flashy Elorde World Champion Phillipin Island Champ ' WW IJULP Wednesday, January 18, 1958 Tom Mont New Coach At Maryland By BOB STERLING United Press Sports Writer College Park, Md. (U.R) "The quiet man" took over Maryland's football fortunes to day. That's 33-year-old Tommy Mont, a former Maryland foot ball star just handed a three year contract to replace big Jim Tatum as the Terrapins' head coach. Tatum hovered, around like a proud father Tuesday while Dr. Wilson H. Elkins, Maryland pres ident, announced Mont's appoint ment to a jam-packed news con ference. Tommy has been Ta tum's backfield coach since 1951, and it was Tatum himself who recommended Mont as his suc cessor when he resigned to coach at North Carolina. Unassuming t But while Mont absorbed some of Tatum's split-T system, he ac quired absolutely none of the big guy's personality. Tatum is big, impulsive, personable and always ready to comment on anything. Mont is unassuming, soft-spoken and reticent to talk about anything more controver sial than the weather. Tatum's Maryland teams have been built around the defense, a system designed to strike for an early lead and then protect it. Mont, who played three years for the Washington Redskins as an understudy to Sam Baugh, has more of the 'pros' "the best defense is a helluva offensive" philosophy.
