Resignation Stirs Jibes United States prestige in the Far East was reported to have suf fered a setback as a result of the sudden resignation of U.S. Ambassa dor William Lacy. Although the State Department explained that he had asked to be recalled because of illness, there are indications that quiet Korean pressure was responsible. His resignation was reported to have shocked U.S. Embassy sources here and in Tokyo. Korean pressure against hira was traced to fear that Lacy was assigned to Seoul to watch next year's crucial election when Korean President Syngman Rhee will seek a third term.
