Gen. Lord Ismay, chief of staff to the British Minister of Defense during World War II, today defended Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower against strong British newspaper criticism. . “No man on either side did more to work this miracle than Gen. Eisenhower,” Gen. lsmay said of the Allled victory in the Daily Telegraph. Lord Kemsley's Sunday Times and Monday's Daily Graphic, in reviews of Gen. Eisenhower's book “Crusade in Europe,” castigated the general for his criticism of British Field Marshall Lord Montgomery. The newspapers also alleged that Gen. Eisenhower concluded in the book that the Americans won the war.

Queen’ Passengers Give Thanks for End of Strike
Return of Dock Workers Celebrated Aboard Ship With Massive Holiday Banquet
SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 26
(UP)—A massive Thanksgiving
banquet of turkey with all the trimmings, including pumpkin and mince pies, was served on the luxury liner Queen Elizabeth yesterday in honor of some 700 Americans among the 1500 passengers.
The passengers idled away t sightseeing trips while waiting f York Sunday. The decision to sail as soon as the Queen Elizabeth could be supplied was made by Cunard White Star Line officials after the New, York dock strike was settled early yesterday morning. | Food supplies were seriously depleted during the Elizabeth's enforced eight-day wait here, but officials said they will be replenished from stocks on the liner Mauretania. : The decision to sail ended a brief sitdown strike by 1000 cabin and tourist class passengers who protested an order for them to leave the ship. The order was issued shortly before the New York strike was settled, and then immediately withdrawn. ;
