American Teenagers
Are Under Big Attack
American teenagers are be-
ing subjected to what is pos-
sibly the most devastating at-
tack on a nation’s youth in
all history.
“In many cases, they have
been made by well-known
Americans, presumed ex-
perts, backed sometimes by
statistics or polls difficult for
the average American to
challenge. And they have
been given the widest pos-
sible circulation in newspa-
pers and magazines, on radio
and television,” writes Wil-
liam Peters in the November
Good Housekeeping.
In “How Many of These
Things Are About -Teen-
agers?” the author lists some
of the attacks made on Am-
erica’s youth:
They cheat commonly in
school and college . . . A ma-
jority are physically or men-
tally unfit . . . They are ex-
tremely materialistic .
They invariably marry very
young and expect parents to
subsidize them . Sexual
immorality is widespread a-

mong them . . . Few accept
military service willingly.
“Perhaps the most fre-
quently reiterated attack has
been on the physical and
mental fitness of the current
generation of American
youth. No less a personage
than President John F. Ken-
nedy, ‘echoing a widely-cir-
culated complaint, said in
December, 1961, that “To get
two men today, the United
States Army must call seven
men. Of the five rejected,
three are turned down for
physical reasons and two for
mental disabilities . . And
the rejection rate is increas-
ing each year.’
“Where President Kennedy
got his figures is a mystery
neither the Selective Service
System nor the Office of the
Surgeon General of the Ar-
my, the two agencies respon-
sible for compiling such sta-
.| tistics can explain. But that
they give a grossly false im-
pression of the physical and
mental condition of American
youth is easily denonstrable,”
writes the author.
A thesis, which appeared
in 1957 claimed, “almost one
of every three American pris-
oners in Korea was guilty of
some sort of collaboration
with the enemy” and that
“one man in every seven, or
more than thirteen percent

the Biderman book sheds a
good deal of lidht on what
actually happened in the
Korean POW camps.

American prisoners who sur-
vived communist capture to
