Bell to leave Cabinet, cites personal reasons
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — Education Secretary Terrell Betl, citing personal reasons and his financial future, yesterday became the first member of President Reagan's Cabinet to decline a second term, announcing he will resign Dec. 31.
Bell, who came to Washington to help Reagan abolish the agency but ended up saving it by triggering a massive campaign to upgrade schools, said he would return to his home in Salt Lake City to help run the family's sod farm.
Bell, 62, paid $83,300 a year as secretary, said he had also accepted an offer to become an education professor at the University of where he could build up "retirement credits."
In his letter of resignation to Reagan, Bell, the only non-millionaire in the Cabinet, wrote, "I leave my position feeling that we are in the midst of a lasting and meaningful academic renewal that will benefit millions of learners in our nation's schools and colleges.
THE PRESIDENT, IN his letter to Bell, said that he accepted the resignation "with deep regret," and that thanks to Bell's leadership, "there is a new dedication in America to achieving educational excellence."
In Santa Barbara, Calif., White House spokesman Marin Fitzwater said a success.
Bell's announcement came just two days after Beaner's landslide re-election.
Among possible successors, those mentioned most often are William Bennett, chairman of the National Endowment for the

Bennett. 41 declined comment.
At a jammed news conference, Bell said another "four-year hitch" with the department "would be a long time. For years it included to terminate at the end of this term.
Asked about those personal reasons, Bell, flanked by his wife, Betty, and son, Peter, 12, said, "I need to turn myself" to the family's sod farm.
"There is another consideration," he said. "On the 11th day of this month, I will turn age 63. . . I need more time to build up retirement credits."
Reagan promised in his 1980 campaign to eliminate the Education Department.
BELL CAME TO Washington in 1981 with his belongings packed in a U-Haul truck, saying he expected to work himself out of a job within a year and return to Utah, where he served as the state's commissioner of higher education.
The plan to disband the agency never got off the ground, however. During the past 18 months, with Bell leading the charge, nearly all states have moved to upgrade school curriculum, toughen graduation requirements and raise teacher's pay.

Both parties lay claim to future power bases after election
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Republican and Democratic Party chairmen both said yesterday the 1984 elections gave them the power to elect a candidate in 1986 and win the White House in 1988.
At separate news conferences, Democrat Charles Manatt and Republican Frank Fahrenkopt said the political future looked rosy. Fahrenkopt said it was because of President Reagan's landslide. Manatt said it was in spite of it.
retain control of the Senate in 1986 and the White House in four years.
of a realignment in the Republicans would replace Democrats as the nation's dominant political party, Fahrenkopt said the GOP gained 16 or 17 House seats, the best showing since 1912 under a Republican president seeking a second term
He also noted the Republicans picked up one governor plus four lower chambers and another governor.
Fahrenkopf said the Republicans registered 4.1 million new voters in 1984, and pointed to an ABC exit poll that said 5 million more voters identified themselves as Republicans this year than in 1980. That, he said, gives the GOP a big edge that will help it
He said the loss of two Republican Senate seats this year was what everybody had expected and only brought the GOP down to 47 percent when President Reagan took office in 1980.
But Manatn told reporters that Democrats had a big chance to win Senate control in 1986 because 22 of the 34 seats at stake are Republicans. Historically, he pointed out, the party out of power makes big gains in the off year.
Looking for signs that 1984 is the beginning
whatsoever." Manatt said, adding Reagan beat Mondale in part because "Republicans did a remarkable job of middling the issues."
The 1984 election was a landslide with very selective coattails and no mandate
He said the Democrats' two-seat gain in the Senate was "an important gain that lays the foundation for taking over in 1986."
"The Democratic Party today looks to the future, to the strong reality we can take control of the Senate in 1860 to begin the process of giving the White House next time," Manatt said.
"We will not have Ronald Reagan on the ballot in 1988."
