Korea: Marshall Says Troops Must Insure Security. Hopes for a quick armistice in Korea are seen as cease-fire talks are placed on agenda of new truce talks at Kaesong. Meanwhile, in Washington, Defense Secretary George Marshall says the U.N. aim is to insure a peaceful settlement and provide for a unified Korea. Korean men (all wearing same type of clothing -- are these military men?) aim motion picture and still cameras (press? journalists?). United Nations officials sit on a front step of building. VS officials coming to the meeting; Caucasian and Korean folks (some are journalists) gather around and chat. A friendly, more relaxed atmosphere -- one man brings a beverage to others. (They seem so hopeful -- it's sad, then, that the war didn't end for another two years.) Secretary Marshall speaks to camera about the goal of a unified Korea.
