The pleadings and the issue in these cases are the same as in Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Company v. United States, 121 C. Cls. 467. For the reasons therein set forth plaintiffs’ motions for summary judgment, to the extent that they ask for an adjudication that the jeeps involved in this action should be classified and rated as passenger motor vehicles, are granted.
