Clincher in Ruling.
But the thing that appeared
to put q clincher on the jeep's
classification as a passenger car
was a War Department manual,
entitled STANDARD Military Motor
Vehicles" Speaking of the jeep. it
said:
Purpose: To carry personnel
primarily for reconnaissance; to
transport light cargo; to tow ST.
nm. anti-tank gun"
The whole fuss started because
there is higher freight rate for
shipping passenger cars than for
trucks. The Union Pacific charged
the passenger car rate. The Gov
ernment, backed by the GAO,
paid the truck rate.
AS a result of the courts rul-
ing, the railroad will collect

Army Jeep Is Passenger Car, Court Rules Here

Of years. its final name still is
obscured in mystery.
"The name of the jeep is
shrouded in mystery and involved
in dispute" the court said. "It
is most generally thought to have
been nicknamed by some soldier
after a character in the comic
strip, Pop-eye."
In broad minded gesture, how
ever, the court disregarded the
doubt surrounding the legitimacy
of the jeep and said:

Astounding Disclosures.
Midway through the opinion,
the court came up with these as
founding disclosures:
/. 1.-THE vehicle referred to as
the 'jeep' was unique in construc-
ton and appearance. -"
2. 1.-THE military forces needed
a small-motor vehicle that could
successfully traverse terrain in
capable of being negotiated by any
four-wheel vehicle then in ex-
istence. =.
8. 1.-THE body of the jeep was
constructed on practical lines
without regard to esthetic appeal
and with little regard to comfort
of driver or passenger. -"
These facts undoubtedly will be
an overwhelming surprise to ex-
GIs, but the court pointed out the
necessity for a car Of this type,
when 1t said:
But battles are not fought on
paved roads. War is the grimmest
business that ever engaged the at
tention of mankind. It gets of in
rough places"
Admits Use for Freight.
The court admitted the jeep was
used for hauling freight and other
labors, aside from carrying pas
sengers: but it declared those uses
did not necessarily make 1t a
cargo truck.
Chief Judge Marvin Jones. who
was born at Valley View, Cooke
County. Texas, and who should
know about such things. wrote:
when I was a boy, calves be-
ing more numerous and cheaper
than ponies, we undertook to sub
stitute by using a calf named Bob
by. We built a wagon-entirely
home-made-using a cracker box
for a bed and four unmatched
wheels.
after several run-aways and
wrecks we had the calf half,
trained SO we could not only do
light hauling. but could ride him.
We called him our little pony. But
somehow nature had intended him
for other purposes, and we finally
gave up. We almost shed tears
when they slaughtered him for

we still thought Of him as part
