NEW YORK ? T.H. Bell, secretary of
education during President Reagan's first term,
has criticized the administration's plan to cut
federal aid to college students as an assault on
the nation's private schools.
Bell, writing iri Sunday's editions of The New
York Times, said the proposed legislation to cut
student aid would result in the transfer of
& thousands nf students from nrivatp fr> mihlir

Bell, 63, a professor of education administration
at the University of Utah, was education
secretary from January 1981 until the end of
1984.
He said the proposed legislation would strain
