George C. Marshall, then secretary of state, kneels in a prayer for peace during high mass at the Cathedral of Bogota. The service, March 30, was a prelude to opening the ninth inter-American conference at Bogota, Columbia. Ill health forced the soldier-statesman to resign from public office, effective January 20, 1949.
