The anonymous gift of $618,000 to buy land for a national seashore park comes from two large foundations, Gov. Scott told his news conference Tuesday. The governor said Conrad Wirth, director of the National Park serv ice, assured him in a tephone con versation Tuesday morning that the gift is "strictly legitimate." Wirth said the two foundations have given away "many millions of dollars" in the past 10 years to charitable, education, health and religious projects, Scott said. The foundations have approxi mately 30 or 40 million dollars in resources, and "for various rea sons" they wish to remain uniden tified, he added. Scott told newsmen Wirth tele phoned him at the suggestion of Lindsay Warren, U. S. comptroller general and an originator of the proposed park when he represent ed the state's First district in Con gress. Scott said he would wait until a meeting of the Council of State Tuesday to make public a letter of resignation he received from J. L. Murphy of Kill Devil Hill. Murphy announced Monday he was resign ing from the North Carolina Cape Hatteras National Seashore Park commission which was set up to help establish the park. Murphy's Letter In his letter, Major Murphy said he was resigning from the commis sion because he had learned that Frank Stick of Kitty Hawk and his son, David, of Kill Devil Hills were "through their friend, Mr. Huntington Cairns of the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D. C., involved in interesting the "anony mous donor" to contribute $618,000 toward the park. "In view of my conviction, re peatedly expressed to members of the commission and to numerous others, that no person engaged in the real estate business in Dare county should be associated with this important undertaking and of my repeated assertion of the opin ion that it did not appear in the public interest, and as both Sticks, father and son, are extensively en gaged in real estate transactions in Dare county," Murphy wrote, "I wish to herewith tender my resig nation as chairman of the land ac quisition committct and as a mem ber of the North npeotina Cape cuawihsIol6*?tiv?,.*u mecHately." Murphy came in for severe criti cism from Secretary 'of State Eure at Tuesday's Council of State meet ing. "It is awfully strange that the release announcing his resignation came ju9t as we were holding lhat hearing Monday," he commented. "I hear that his announcement was timed jast for this hearing.

"This association represents 160, 000 consumer-members and some half-million North Carolinians," Crisp said in his report. John W. Asher. area director for the Rural Electrification adminis tration, addressed the group in the afternoon and conducted a panel discussing the recent streamlining of REA.

"The role of the farmer in our economy will become increasingly important in the coming years," Asher declared. "By 1975, we will have to fill five plates for every four we fill today. We will need to increase our annual milk pro duction by some ten million quarts and our meat supply by five mil lion pounds. You have the respon sibility of helping our farmers use electricity as a production tool in providing these increases." W, C.
