BY WALTER TROHAN tCblcato Trlbooa Press Service PARIS, Dec. 14 Tired in body but undaunted in spirit.

President Eisenhower returned to Paris today, to in-spire a new crusade for peace against the ominous threat of atomic disaster posed by the scientific challenges of Russia in the space age. first step of the soldier who has laid aside his sword for the pen on the soil he liberated 13 years ago was charged with drama. A bush marked the fateful moment in history, which may spell so much for western security and which may mean so much to the final judgment on his career in the White house. Challenge to Be Met The heads of NATO North Atlantic Treaty organization are meeting in this beautiful Paris to analyze the challenge we may face," he said under a chill leaden sky at Orly airport. "We shall meet it effectively.

We shall meet it in unity." There was military pomp for the soldier who symbolized the liberation of Paris in 1944 by daring deeds of arms in the crusade against nazi totalitarianism. Bugles sounded flourishes as Mr. Eisenhower stepped from his plane, the Columbine III, a minute ahead of his 3 p. m. schedule.

A military band blared the throbbing tempo of The Star Spangled Banner" and followed with the stirring strains of "La Marsellaise." Mr. Eisenhower stood bareheaded only as long as was mindful of the blockage of a cerebral artery that he suffered 20 days ago after welcoming ceremonies for King Mohammed of Morocco in Washington. Cheers and Prayers There were cheers and prayers for the statesman who arrived to revitalize NATO, militarily, scientifically, and politically, into a stout deterrent against rising communist totalitarianism. But the cheers and prayers cam? from a small crowd of some 200 persons. Along the route to the American embassy, crowds were sparse even in areas where Mr.

Eisenhower war. hailed so joyously on his first visit to liberated Paris in 1944 and his return to command SHAPE supreme headquarters allied powers in Europe, the military army of NATO, in 1950. Fears Stirred in U. S. In the task to which he has dedicated himself, Mr.

Eisen hower faces the greatest test of his career. The clouds over the forthcoming NATO meet ing, raised by national co. flicts, jealousies, and rival ries within the alliance, are as heavy as those which hung over Paris on his arrival. Russia has stepped up its propaganda and political campaign to discredit the latest attempt of the western nations to fuse in beneficent purpest 0 'eek JURY DEBATE!

They took jone ballot. Charges Jurors Misconduct -The case had an extraordinary aftermath, however, as Judge George H. Revelle and attorneys for both sides soon went into conference in the judge's chambers with a court reporter recording the proceedings. The Seattle Times said, meanwhile, it had learned that Beck's attorneys will charge misconduct by jurors when arguing for a new trial. The new trial motion was filed shortly after the verdict was brought in and arguments probably will be heard next week.

The Times said the motion will say at least one juror did not answer truthfuUy while being questioned before being accepted as a juror and others were guilty of misconduct outside the courtroom during the trial.

BASES BY LARRY RUE Chicago Trlbunt Press Serf ice BONN, Germany, Dec. 14 With only five American and one Canadian division in West Germany properly trained and equipped, the NATO confer ence in Paris finds western Europe vulnerable to invasion from the east. What seems more significant to future effective defense is that west Europeans, whose fate is most at stake if war should break out, show overwhelming opposition toward accepting the weapons and installations American military experts deem necessary.

A public opinion poll conducted in 12 West German cities on the eve of President Eisenhower's arrival for the Paris conference reveals tnat 73 per cent of those Germans questioned are against nuclear weapons and ballistic missile bases on German soil. Two Parties Opposed Opposition comes from practically every side, politicians, scientists, industrialists and the man on the street. The two major political parties, the Social Democrats and the Free Democrats, as well as a group of German scientists issued urgent appeals pointing up the dangers that would arise if the government agrees to the stockpiling of atomic arms and to the setting up of rocket launching bases in the republic. This opposition is disturbing to American defense planners who have been relying on building up the new West German army as America's strongest ally in Europe. They are agreed that no army can be effective in modern warfare without the latest weapons.
