William E. Mayer, “Communist Indoctrination—Its Significance to Americans,” Searcy, Arkansas: National Education Program, 1957, pp. 14-15, Congressional Record, Jan. 21, 1960, p. 877, col. 1,m. Senator Dodd has endeavored to give the percentage of collaborators in The Congressional Record, July 23, 1962, p. 13569. On the same page he said: “The overwhelming majority of these POW’s succumbed to Communist pressures and became collaborators in one degree or another. So general was the phenomena of defeatism and ‘give-up-itis,’ that we cannot write them off to individual weakness. The fault lay not with the individual, but with our society.” See also the statements of Admiral Arleigh A. Burke in the Special Preparedness Subcommittee of the Committee on Armed Services, Military Cold War Education and Speech Review Policies, Washington: Government Printing Office, 1962, Part 1, p.19.
