Will R. Wilson, 60, submitted i resignation to President Nixon in a four page letter outlining his relationship with Frank Sharp, a Texas banker. The letter was made available by the Justice which has consistently supported Wilson in the face of continuing revelations about a financial dealings in Texas. "EVENTS INVOLVING former clients which have unfolded in Texas in the past few months have, through no fault of mine, created difficulties and embarrassment which your adminis-t a i should not be taxed with," Wilson wrote the President. "I cannot permit any side Issue to impede the a 1 drive against organized crime." Atty.

Gen. John N. Mitchell expressed his regrets at Wilson's action, citing Wilson for significant help in the progress against organized criminal activities. Sharp was convicted of falsifying bank records, but received only a fine and light sentence in return for testifying before a federal grand jury about his dealings and their involvement with Texas officials. Wilson admitted he had been Sharps a 1 1 for several years prior to his appointment as chief of the criminal division and that he had borrowed large sums of money from the Texas banker, including one large loan made after 1 1 appointment to the Justice Dept.

In a statement last month, however, Wilson said he was guilty of no wrongdoing. But Rep. Henry B. Gonzalez, a Texas Democrat, has been calling for Wilson's resignation since last July, making a speech a day on the House floor detailing what he said was Wilson's role in the Sharp financial empire. SHARP'S dealings with various members of the Texas state legislature have created a considerable scandal.

Two state and two federal bank examiners recently were indicted on charges stemming from Sharp's banking affairs. Wilson was attorney for Sharp from 1967 to 1969 when the SEC said Sharp began a "systematic looting' of banks and Insurance companies through stock manipulations. Wilson denied any knowledge of any such activities. Replying to many of Gonzalez' allegations, Wilson had acknowledged he received 230,000 in unsecured loans from Sharp's bank the latest $30,000 loan in August, 1970, 18 months after he joined the Justice Dept.

"But that is only from the small portion of the vapor we saw," said Hills, a native of Mount Pleasant, Iowa.
