Internationals Block Army Jeeps at Balata Refugee Camp
At 6:30 in the morning a small incursion of Israeli military vehicles entered Balata Refugee Camp. There have been at least 5 such incursions over the past 2 weeks. The military, supported by a few armored jeeps as well as Armored personnel Carriers (APC's), usually merely sets up near main intersections while one drives around the outskirts of the Camp. The timing of the arrival of the military was particularly bad as children were just beginning their journey to school. Hundreds of children poured onto Market Street and walked toward the intersection when the jeeps met them.

By the time the United States entered the War in December 1941, Jeep production was in full swing. About 640,000 Jeeps were built in the four years until the end of the war in 1945. Over 360,000 of these were manufactured by Willys and the balance by Ford.

The Israeli military does not intend to stop the expected influx, even though the presence of thousands more protesters would further complicate what the army has described as one of its most difficult missions in recent years. Dozens of Palestinians surrounded an overturned Israeli army jeep in a West Bank village on Wednesday and threw stones at trapped soldiers who fired tear gas, rubber bullets and live rounds, witnesses and the military said.
ARMY JEEP IN A CRATE FOR $50
Boxing up a jeep was expensive and time consuming so it was only done when absolutely necessary. Jeeps that were crated were complete vehicles, not a box of parts - windshields were folded, wheels taken off and a few other things done to minimize the cubage. Very few, if any, of these crated jeeps remained in the United States. Think about it for a moment. If jeeps were available super-cheap, legitimate dealers would be there with a certified check to buy the whole lot in 10 seconds. They know what a jeep is worth and would instantly absorb any which were selling below market. If the government wanted to somehow restrict sales so dealers could not do this, the government would advertise the fact and it would be easy to find out where and how to buy.
Military Jeep History: Bantam to MB
Bantam's involvement with the jeep dates back to 1932. The Infantry Board of the Quartermaster Corp. (QMC) at Fort Benning, GA were looking into the use of small, lightweight automobiles for military purposes. They purchased an Austin roadster in November for this purpose. They wanted to purchase more, but an internal squabble over who should be procuring automobiles and the lack of funding made this impossible. Nothing much came from this purchase. In September 1939, Bantam offered additional chassis for further tests, but the QMC declined and they were informed that "this type of chassis appeared to have no further military use". Some factions in the QM considered the Bantam important, while others thought of it as only a toy. Bantam did not give up and they sent a letter to the Secretary of War and recognition was then given to them. In this letter, they told of a survey they put together (at Bantam's expense) of cars being used in Europe by other armies. In this letter they originated the idea of the jeep and got the sympathetic ear of the Secretary. After this letter, Bantam was now recognized as "producing a product of tremendous value". The QMC now agreed with the War Secretary. (Source: QM 451 (Proc 398-41-9), Letter of Charles H. Payne, Asst. To the President, American Bantam Car Company to the Honorable Henry L. In the meantime, Bantam had gone ahead with the laying out of the jeep in accordance with the rough sketch and general specifications arrived at between its engineers and the Ordnance Subcommittee at their June 19 conference. On several occasions it was necessary for the Bantam engineers to visit Holabird to iron out different engineering matters. The Spicer Manufacturing Company of Toledo, OH also was called in by Bantam for consultation of the four-wheel-drive system. Both the Bantam people and Holabird agreed that the standard Bantam motor would have to be stepped up in power resulting in a engine developed by Continental Motors Corporation.
